Harmless Flirting

I know many of us are in long term relationships now, or even married, but have you ever had a flirty encounter with a person that just made your day? Even though there was absolutely NO intention of cheating, or anything like that, just the fact that you caught their attention and they were so interested in you just made you giddy?

I attended a law seminar this morning clear across the other side of town. I intended to walk the 14 or so blocks back to work but it began to rain and I was carrying two law binders, so I decided to catch a bus. As I was waiting at the bus stop a few other people were waiting there with me, although I was really not paying attention to them, until the bus came and kept on going right passed us. That's when we noticed the bus stop was closed and there was a temporary bus stop about 100 feet ahead of us so we all started running. All I saw of the guy in front of me was his back and his umbrella, but I noticed that he dropped his gloves so I grabbed them and yelled out "Excuse ME!" to get his attention. He turned around and I almost tripped on myself. He was drop dead gorgeous! He was young, probably mid-20's, a brilliant gorgeous smile, and an australian accent. He was greatful that I grabbed his gloves as he had just bought them. We ended up getting on the same bus and he was totally flirting with me and asking me a bunch of questions and I was trying really hard not to make a fool of myself and drool. LOL

It was so high school, but it's been the highlight of my day so far... :)

Anybody else get a high from harmless flirting like that?

Yeah, I had that a few times. When I was married to Scott, I worked for a photo studio (one of the Glamour ones) and my boss was a very attractive British man. He was adorable. I had kind of a crush. We'd talk a lot and he'd flirt, give me new cool things to do, etc. He was also married, but there was never any type of hint that we'd go further than flirting. Just mostly fun. I loved going to work because I'd get to hear that accent.

Shane's friends flirt with me right in front of him. They tell him stuff like, "Dude, she's fine. You're a lucky man to have this one." And they hug up on me, but again, nothing sexual, just silliness. But Shane keeps his eyes on them because after all, I'm his woman and that's territory spoken for. LOL! MEN!

I am an incorrigible flirt - and I ALWAYS get a little charge out of it!

I recently started wearing glasses after years in contacts - and I've been getting hit on ALOT. Beautiful man walked up to me AT HOME DEPOT (!!!!) and told me I looked stunning in my glasses and he wished his girlfriend would wear them. I went home floating on a cloud.

I have a massive crush on a co-worker - and if he weren't on sabbatical - I would flirt with him incessantly! The way he leans against the doorframe to my office and says "Hey, you!" just makes my tummy jump! LOL

Yes, I get a charge (and an ego boost) out of harmless flirting.

Isn't it cool! I remember losing the weight after my split and I felt so confident,s o I wore nicer clothes, fixed my hair and makeup better, and was no longer beaten down by some hateful man. I walked with confidence and it showed. Boy did I get looks!! And I still have been, even with Shane by my side. But he gets an ego boost out of that too. It just reinforces his good taste and that he's got the goods and they can't have it.

I know what you mean! I just started wearing glasses too...last week in fact.

I have a couple of harmless crushes on two executives who work in my office. They are both about 10-15 years older than me, and totally hunky! ofcourse I can't even elude to the fact that I think so, that would be totally unethical for my position, but it's still fun to secretly smile whenever I have to deal with them. :)

Isn't it hard to keep a straight face when they are around? And you know they wonder what you're smiling about when they catch you. And it's not one of those "It's been a good day" smiles. It's more of a giddy "oh isn't he cute" smiles. When you're all flushed and your eyes are kinda glazed over.

I don't know what it is about glasses, but Shane's contacts are expired so he wears his glasses now. He looks totally HOT! And when I wear my reading glasses, he is so turned on. I remember we were going out to meet friends for drinks once and I had been wearing my glasses to read something before we left. I took them off and he said to please put them back on. I asked why and he sinply looked at me very seriously and said, "Wear the glasses." I won't go into it, but after we got home, things were pretty hot!

I think guys in glasses are so cute! I tend to steer towards that look when I'm looking around a room. They tend to get my attention. Long eyelashes get me too. Dylan has those and they are fabulous! He's gonna send me to an early grave, I'm sure of it!

It is really hard! Especially because they are both very complimentary of me. They are always telling me how much they appreciate everything I do...they notice when I've had my hair cut, and one of them welcomed me to the "four eyes club" the other day lol (they both wear glasses too).

I think they are both fully aware that I like the attention they give me and that I appreciate it...but I try really hard not to cross the line of flirtation with them. That could get me into trouble!

I agree, glasses are hot! :)

It always makes my day when someone I don't know flirts with me. Definitally a ego booster!

Its very funny though when I'm out w/my teenage daughters and afterwards they'll say "Mom, do you know that guy was hitting/flirting with you?" I always act innocent and say, "Oh really? I didn't realize that." Inside I'm thinking, "Gee I don't know how I made it to 38 without you explaining men to me ! heheh "
