Flirting gets a bad rap. I love flirting.
I think it allows us to express appreciation of someone else in a fun, safe and appropriate way. That may mean just catching someone’s eyes on a bus for a few extra seconds, smiling warmly and appreciatively to someone who is helping you or, more extended flirting in social situations. It’s a way of saying, (without actually saying), hey, I find you, your vibe, your smile, your eyes, something about you, attractive. And I want to let you know that.
Flirting can get the blood flowing, make you feel alive and butterfly-ey, can add a sense of zing and pizazz to an otherwise dreary day.
And when you are searching for ways to feel sexier, flirting is a great, easy way to reconnect to your sexual self. And let’s be clear: flirting does not suggest you have to follow it up with anything. Ever.
Then I encourage you, to take any happiness, zing, sexual energy, your sexiness, back to your partner. It’s the best benefit!
