Musing No. 78 - Flirting.

As part of my increased interest in finding my own autonomy I have been attempting to get better in touch with my sexuality - my sexuality - not how it relates to others.

In recent conversations Hubby and I have discussed our differing views regarding flirting. I do enjoy flirting, but not in the same manner that he does. Hubby is a consummate flirt. He’s quite good at it. He has a knack of making you feel like you’re the only woman on the face of the earth. It’s an endearing quality and one which I don’t think I possess.

For me, flirting has always been something goal oriented; a necessary part of attracting a lover. Sometimes, I admit, it’s just another thing on my list of tasks to complete in my already busy day. Do the dishes. Check. Feed the baby. Check. Flirt with Hubby. Check.

I am envious of Hubby’s ability to enjoy flirting purely for flirting sake. This is one of life’s pleasures that I have yet to fully understand or enjoy.

So… I have decided, with Hubby’s encouragement and support, to try flirting purely for MY enjoyment. I posted an ad on Craigslist seeking men and women who enjoy flirting via email and text. As I type this I am giggling. This sounds so silly to me. But hey, ya never know what you like until you’ve tried it, right?
