I guess I'm not always horrible at it; it seems to come quite naturally (so I've been told) when I'm around really good guy friends, or if the guy I'm (accidentally) flirting at is, like, gay or something. So basically, I'm a decent flirt when the fella isn't a threat. (Is "threat" the right word, even?)
Anyway, I truly am no good at the flirting thang.
I'm good at being sincere, though. And giving compliments and stuff. I hope against hope that one day, my sincerity will catch the eye of a tall, handsome man. Right? Because, heaven knows I'm not going to capture a fella's heart (or positive attention) with my broken flirt.
Sad, but true.
I've had similar conversations with a couple of my guy friends, Jason and Cameron (collectively known as "Jameron"). Specifically, I remember chatting with Cameron in Hawaii about how I'm quite certain my signal is broken, or badly damaged, or the wiring's all screwed up...
Want to know what Cameron got me for Christmas?
It's a signal light thingy.If only this did the trick...
(Obnoxious, but FUNNY!)
Anyway, I've heard a quote that "the way God made you is the way you're most beautiful,"(Russell M. Nelson), and although that's probably more about actual looks, I'm going to make it work for me and my broken flirt. Honestly, my not flirting is more attractive than my trying to flirt. Right?
There's gotta be hope for me, right? Sincerity's gotta be attractive to some fine fellow, right?
RIGHT?

2. What is that thing?
3. Of course sincerity is attractive. And I can imagine Mr tall dark & handsome loving the heck out of that.
Great post. I bet you have more flirting mojo than you think. ;)
Someone told me once that I was a good flirt. Honestly, I don't know what they were talking about.. I talked with guys the way I always do. That is if I liked them, I talked with them, if I didn't like them, I ignored them. I really like that quote and essentially that is what flirting is to me... just being sincere and being yourself. What more could a guy want?
don' worry 'bout it.
I totally feel the same way. I cannot flirt and I am always awkward. And I think Sincerity is way important and the basis of marriage. I just love you!
I've been told that I am a good flirt, and I'm still single. flirty or non-flirty - it doesn't matter.....timing is everything...I kind of hate that part :)
When I was in college I had a guy tell me "You're a really cool person but you need to learn to flirt so you can get a guys attention so he'll get to know you" That made me feel AWESOME!!
Honestly, Gina, I really agree with that last paragraph especially. I'm a terrible "flirt" in the traditional sense...if you think flirting should be seductive. Hahha. It's always when I'm trying to be more like that that I fail. :) But when I'm just myself, I even get the attention of the ones I enjoy the most. That doesn't mean everything always turns out or that I'm never totally and completely retarded in the process. :) But I LOVE that quote by Elder Nelson...it might be one of my new favorites. I might steal it.
