Do You Flirt?
When does one flirt? When do you know that your conversation or body language is sending signals to another person?
For a long time, I think flirting is a wrong thing to do. Well, you can figure how long a time that has been. Unaware, during the recent years of my life, I realised that I have been flirting using conversations and body languages, without consciously knowing it. It was only when others point out to me that someone is flirting with me, or that I am flirting with someone, that I realise I am actually doing it. Heck, I am smiling even as I am typing this. At this point in time, I guess flirting is just harmless fun :)
Know why this topic came up? I was having this conversation with this certain guy, and while talking, I thought he was flirting with me! How do I know? Well, I think the telling signs was when he tried to make himself look pitiful at some point of a conversation, trying to win my attention and sympathy somewhat. IMO. THAT, to me, is trying to gain a ladies attention, hence, equals to flirting.
Then while having dinner with family at a food court yesterday, I tried my luck at the pizza man, to see if he remembers me, as my colleague and I gave our comment to the food his kitchen cooked the other day when we went there for lunch. He did, gave me a broad smile, and when I commented that the queue was long (aka means good business), he complaint to me that yes business is good, but there are not enough helper. With that kinda look. You know that kinda look that expects you to respond with offer to help in return.
At the end of the day, flirting with the chef, or in local context, helpers at a food stall, is really, harmless fun. Just make the eating experience a little more fun and less like a transaction.
I mean, at any normal day, I don't think a typical Singaporean talks to the food stall helper. Unless it's a your favourite stall. The hawkers too, do not expect you to be friendly to them.
Anyway, back to the topic of flirting... I think flirting is achieved when both parties understands and engages themselves in the flirting.
Ur oh. Just checked the Social Issues Research Centre website, they did not list down "food places" as one of the "Where to flirt". LOL. Funny. Anyway, go check the site out. Interesting :)
If you think that is too much to read, read the article at AskMen.com. These are tips for you to know if she/he is flirting with you.
Girls, you should read this. We oughta know too!
Haha... This is fun. I am off to copy this at the Pathetic Sg Men blog. Tata! :)
