Flirting...the Lost Art.
http://modernreject.com/2011/03/the-...t-of-flirting/It turns out that even animals instinctively flirt. Mice, for instance, according to Pyschology Today, twitch their noses and tilt their back in order to catch the eye of another available mouse. We, too, are hardwired for flirting and, done in a fun and responsible way, flirting proves useful.
The Why
Since flirting is instinctive, you think that would be reason enough. Unfortunately, flirting has received a bad rap over the years, especially within Christian circles.
Yet, many of us flirt without realizing we are doing it–a lift in our voice, a tilt of our head, a gesture of our hand, the toss of our hair (hopefully it is not you men, tossing your hair).

Spring in my step? I was almost like Skippy going home

That sounds wonderful.... and I bet hubby was the one who reaped the benefits. When you (general) feel pretty and sexy.. you tend to behave that way.I personally like to watch the men around young pretty women. It's so funny... and so obvious.. even the old geezers get all silly.. and if the youngsters flirt back... I'm sure it makes their day.
I used to be a shameless flirt. I enjoyed the attention.. I never followed through with anything.. but it was a fun game. Now not so much. I feel fat and flubby.. and if someone flirted with me.. I'd wonder what was wrong with his eyesight.

Yes, I've had the same reaction when a roofer was here a couple of years ago (pre-thigh injury so hadn't gained all this weight then) and I got the 'glad-eye' from him, the looking me over and my first thought was 'you pervert'

Re: Flirting...the Lost Art.
It is a good thing. I noticed when we moved here that men didn't beep the horn at young women and wolf whistle - now that used to lift spirits didn't it. Do you remember Jasper Carrot did a joke about it. Do men in the UK, and America, of course, still wolf whistle?|
