Here's a question for you: what is the line between flirting and friendly? It's a question that people always ask, with no definitive answer. Your view may also depend on your past experiences. You could be very naturally trusting... until you've been hurt. But what if you've been the one to hurt someone else? Would that also color your view?

Different types of people draw the line in different places. Do you watch The Office? A pretty girl can't even smile at Michael, the manager, without him thinking she wants to marry him. There are lots of guys like that. Too many.
I got hurt early, my very first "girlfriend" was just killing time with me while her real boyfriend was out of town. That made me a litle more suspicious in the short-term, but I got over it.
What stays with me is if I hurt someone. I think I would rather be hurt than be the one doing the hurting. That is, unless I truly believe the person is like Michael and I honestly didn't give them a reason to feel hurt. I'd feel a little bad for them right up until they started to annoy me--then I would just feel annoyed! LOL
Hmmm, thinking about where to draw the line makes me wonder if it's okay to tell you that you look great today. I better not. What is the line between being honest and flirting? ;P
I don't think flirting is ever a good idea if you're in a relationship. The person getting flirted with gets the wrong idea, the person doing the flirting hurts the person they are in a relationship with and the significant other... gets hurt. No good all around.
There is definitely a thin line between flirting and friendly. I don't like it when girls get friendly with my hubby, so I try no to get friendly with other guys either. Kind of hard to do in a social situation, but hey! At least I try.
I like your sexy pose, btw!
i adore your outfit! it's super cute and ur hair is legit girl
i feel that friendly is nice while flirting is done to elicit attraction
love your skirt!!! :D

I definitely don't have the answer to that question!
But I love your floral skirt!
Thx everyone for your comments! It definitely is a fine line, which is what I was trying to get at. I try to think that if I were doing the same thing and my bf were in front of me, would I feel guilty? That's a rule of thumb that works for me!
Wow that's an interesting topic that fine line is so hard to manage.
Love your outfit :)
I'm loving that you posted the Far East Movement video!
Flirting is intentionally toying with emotions to get something you want.
Friendly is when you're applying the manners and basic rules of civility that Momma taught ya.
Btw I love the title of your blog. LOVE it. Makes me smile every time I read it.
I like your skirt! Haven't found a floral one like yours for myself yet T=T;
I come from a background where flirting is a necessity. I don't know about American Puritanist culture, but where I come from you flirt because it's FUN. No one takes your flirting too seriously, unless you're drunk, and it's actually a requirement in many workplaces. I know of many stories where men or women were not social enough to flirt and were often outcasted. If you're a talker and you can flirt to make people feel good about themselves then you're better liked than a person who can't manage more than "good morning".
In America, I try to keep flirting to a minimum because I notice people here get confused easily and believe flirting = courting. Actually flirting and courting are not the same thing. It just shows that Americans don't know what courtship is.
