Flirt Friends

Do you have a flirt friend?  If not, you should consider it, at least if you are single. If you are not, then stick to your mate. As we discussed earlier, it can easily be construed as cheating.

I don't at all believe in friends with benefits - never works; one or both always ends up hurt. But flirt friends are pretty safe, and pretty harmless.  Boundaries are set, nothing will ever happen beyond flirting, but the flirting can certainly spice things up and make you feel pretty good about yourself. If you are anything like me, a little extra spice and feel good conversations is just what's needed.

So why not take it to the next step?  That would ruin it.  It's the whole distance that makes it work.  When you can openly say exactly what you want on the phone, via text, on line and sometimes in person, knowing that it will not go any further; compliments and "wishful thinking" (for lack of a better description) flows pretty freely.  Being truthful is not always necessary - it's simply a game.  As soon as you try to make it more than it is, you worry about how the other person perceives you and communication becomes quite restrained.  Where is the fun in that?

Some would argue that actual dating probably is the better way to go.  But having flirt friends doesn't stop dating - frankly, I find it's a good source for a man's input when I need it. Just as I've given my candid opinions from a woman's perspective. And dating takes a bit of effort...having a flirt friend doesn't.  All fun and games, and no work.  So find a (flirt) friend, and go flirt.
