Disclaimer of sorts: I am not trying to brag in any way, shape, or form with the latest update of my blog. I like to think of myself as a very modest person but I felt like posting this because it has struck me in awe.
About 3 weeks ago, it was brought to my attention that a lot of the women and girls around my age have been flirting with me at work. I told the person that pointed this out to me that they did not know what they were talking about and that they were just imagining things. I thought to myself, "There's no f-ing way most of these people are flirting with me seeing as how I am not broadcasting that I want a girlfriend at the moment" but boy was I wrong.
Not even a day passed when I actually started noticing people flirting with me and going a little out of their way to talk to me. I didn't think anything of it until the women actually started telling me that if they were younger, they would be all over me faster than...something that is really fast. I had heard these comments before but I always felt it was for laughs but I could tell there was truth in their eyes. Some of them even made me blush to the point where I couldn't really respond.
The girls my age are a little sneakier about it and decide to tell my best bud at work (who is female and we pretty much tell each other everything) about how some put claims on liking me and that other girls weren't allowed to flirt with me. I felt flattered to an extent when I heard that and creeped out at the same time.
After I noticed all these people actively flirting with me, i was told that it was my own fault for flirting with them. I had no idea what she was talking about and then she told me that since i am nice all the time, and treat people like i want to be treated, that it comes of as flirtatious/nice hence people flirting with me.
Ever since this was pointed out to me, I have stopped being as friendly. Not because they are fuggos/old/whatever but because I don't want that much attention from that many of the opposite sex without me feeling like I want to "hit that". Some of you might be thinking "bullshit" but I am totally serious. The only attention I would like to be grabbing is of future prospects and my place of work doesn't really have many to choose from. Not ones without herpes anyways ^_^*....gross.
I was told that what I do is called social flirting which makes a lot of sense. When I talk to people, I try to put a smile on their face to brighten up their day just a little so I can see how that can be misconstrued as flirting.
Now if only I could be this effective with girls I want to ask out and possibly date...

That Commandment should totally be changed to: Thou shalt flirt with thine neighbor as thou wouldst want to be flirted with.
I'm going to start calling you "Hot Tamale." ;-)
Hot tamale, eh? I just can't help but be this "social flirt". My friend even went as far as telling one of the girls I was gay. That got around but thankfully none of them believed it. I almost feel like rushing into a relationship to stop them from flirting. Damn this latino heat!
