Flirting

According to the dictionary flirting is not used for serious intentions, but to amorously show superficial or casual interest, really? Can someone tell me why it cannot be serious, please? Does one have to take a course to flirt correctly? Everyday, I think I flirt a little, yes I do, flirting is fun and who knows where it will lead- Giving the object of my attention a wanton look and lowering my gaze. Having a backbone is important, not a time to be a namby-pamby! Infinite possibilities reflect in my great big brown eyes, just a little trick, lick your lips and smile! Keeping the conversation going is important for sure, and remember laughter is music to the soul, and I also melt his heart with my words and poetry (perhaps a line or two). Now, I shake my head, fanning out my hair for him, oh lovely he says, and on my ears are dangling earings beautiful. Practice makes perfect! Quoting a memorized joke shows my fun loving way. Remember to sigh a lot! Straighten his collar and smooth his sleeve, believe me touching is a very important flirting tool. Under the table knock into his knee, by accident of course, and being vulnerable is another good trick (you can show your strength later)- Whisper in his ear and linger there, how romantic. X- rated never, but something sweet will do nicely, and you can pretend your cold, tremble a little maybe for effect. Zen, guys love Zen, let them know that is where you dwell when not flirting. ____________________________ December 1, 2016 Poetry/Abecedarian/Flirting Copyright Protected, ID 16-854-415-0 All Rights Reserved.
