Honesty is the best policy.... Keepin' it real always works. During the initial getting to know you stages of a relationship we all want to present our best self even if it is a bit fabricated. When we get through that barrier, flirting is easier because we are comfortable with ourselves and what we are presenting to her/him. The art of flirting is knowing the limitations of what should be said or done. Being playful with words, and actions works as long as we know how far is too far and how much is too much. The art of flirting is to entice, lure, seduce, to provoke interest without losing the mystery of discovery. Reflect interest, raise the question, but let her/him answer it. Admire, be gracious and respectful. I don't care what anybody says. We all want to feel desired and wanted, but we don't want to feel easy. Tell me you want me, but do it in a metaphor, then I will know you respect the physical, mental and spiritual that makes the whole process of flirting so exotic. It's all about possibilities and being original and unique to yourself and the experience. What is most essential is always clearer to the heart than to the eyes.
