I’m A Flirt

U a flirt, I know, U a flirt, I know. LOLOLOLOL

I'm singing, "You A Jerk" and interchanging the word jerk for flirt. :)

I recently found myself in a world of trouble because I was accused of being a flirt.

And OK, OK, OK, my name is Darlene and I can be a bit flirtatious. LOLOLOLOL

But flirting is flirting is flirting is flirting. It’s nothing to me, notta. Well, it is fun.

The guy I’m dating does not, hear me, does not see flirting as fun. He thinks it is a bit disrespectful.

Wowsa Yowsa, cause meeez not being disrespectful at all.

But when does flirting actually cross the line? Is it when it is in front of your boo? Is it when you touch? Is it when you act on it?

Shoot, I thought flirting was healthy.

I mean my mom always told me you don’t want to be with somebody that nobody wants. Meaning, you want your boo to be attractive to others even though he or she is your boo. You want others to crave your boo, like you do.

But when it’s all said and done, your boo is your boo. Right!?

Well, I’m not sure my boo saw or sees it this way because in addition to jackin’ my jaws and cheesy cheese cheesin’ I have a tendency to touch.

OK, OK, OK, my name is Darlene and I touch folks when I talk.

But I don’t just touch men. I touch women, too. So if I’m touching a woman while talking am I coming on to her.

Ummmm nope, homie don’t play dat.

But I had to read up on flirting and what I have found is that men misconstrue many signs of flirting. A woman may touch which means I’m comfortable with you and I’m listening, but to a man a touch is a signal to the Soldier to get ready for a sexscapade.

But flirting is natural. Flirting is part of human interaction. It’s a basic instinct.

In fact, there are two types of flirting -- flirting with intent and flirting for fun. Flirting with intent is when a person is attempting to select a mate.

And yea, there’s a thin line between the two but the intention to me is what is most important.

My intention was fun, fun, fun. But I don't want to make him feel disrespected.

What are your thoughts about flirting? And do you think flirting can be misconstrued?

Tell me.
