Flirting

I’ve just come back from a nice, quick study break (which involved cocktails) with a friend, and while we were sitting chatting I was giving her an idea of what I thought I might write about next- although was a bit sceptical to- and these are my flirting techniques! She thought it was a great topic to write about it because the more personal and embarrassing a story is the better...

I am shamefully admitting that I am a terrible flirt that I don’t think the guy even seems to realise. Now although this happened recently, this is not the first time. I have to ask myself how I managed to be so terrible at it. My mum is a big flirt (sorry mum- I still love you though), as are my aunts and my grandma when she was around was the worst (or should I say the best)!!! So how did I seem to miss this? My logical reasoning is that I stepped into the relationship thing when I was too young and throughout my teenage years I wasn’t being a typical teenager, I had a boyfriend, thus I was not flirting with other boys. I wouldn’t say I regret this, because everything you do in life shapes who you are, and I am happy with who I am and what I did, but I do wish that I hadn’t missed that vital stage! A few months ago I was in a shop with my mum and we were buying things for my dad, so we were in the men’s section. This gorgeous looking guy helps us, and so I start “flirting” – or so I thought. It didn’t last very long because my mum- who couldn’t even tell I was flirting also decided this guy was good looking, and so she also started to flirt and seemed to attract more attention than I did- although I’m not too surprised as my mum is beautiful! Afterwards however, I was obviously a bit annoyed and so I said something to her and she was like “oh, were you flirting?”-needless to say I was mortified. Recently I have been chatting to this guy who I thought was flirting with me, so I was flirting back- or so I thought, but after a recent conversation with him I honestly don’t think that he even realised! This is a serious problem that I have! Friends- Help! You have a mission to accomplish J
