Day 19: Shameless Flirting

Okay, so I know this may be a controversial idea for some people - as flirting can be dangerous or misleading - but I've always enjoyed flirting with everybody for fun. It has gotten me into trouble at times, but for the most part it makes me laugh and other people smile, so I feel like it's a win-win situation 95% of the time.

Tonight my friend and I went to the grocery store - which is an odd place that I've been hit on quite a bit in the past - and we were talking about flirting with old men along the way. I love old men because they are fun to flirt with - and don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about any man under the age of 60.  Perhaps even 70; The men that I've often found are harmless and just like to joke around (as I have absolutely no intention of ever being "the other woman" or "the younger woman" or... anything near such ideas.)

Anyway, my friend was cautioning on the dangers of flirting and how it would be unfair if I were in a relationship to be so flirtatious, so I remarked on how I enjoy flirting with pretty much anybody - men and women alike. Perhaps I just like flattering people and it's not exactly flirting... Anyway! As we got out of the car and were about to walk into the grocery store I said in a resounding voice, "I'll flirt with anybody!" 

Conveniently this was the same time some random guy was about to walk into the store and we made eye contact.  I made a face to say "Oops! Did I just accidentally almost yell that at you?" And laughed at myself for a moment and we went into the store.  I told my friend under my breath how that moment was both funny and potentially awkward when I looked over and he had a little smirk looking at us - which made me laugh even more.  Nothing came of it, as we perused the store so no big story here, other than some other people laughing/smiling at the nature of our conversation. 

It's moments like these that put the flirting into the happiness category - any story that can make me laugh.  And maybe what really makes me happy should be retitled as Stupid Things I Do That Make Me Laugh.
