I’m addicted to flirting! I’ll admit it, I’m guilty of it. I’m fixated by the attention I get from men when I flirt with them. I’ll pretty much flirt with any man of any age, if I know I can get something out of them. When I was a young adult, I became aware of my womanly charms and how I could use them to get attention from men — attention that I didn’t get from my father. I never, ever thought that I would be the type of woman who would use her “charms” to get attention from men. In college I was referred to as a “tease.” I would say that’s a fair description of my behavior because I like to flirt but never follow through with any physical interaction.

February 18th, 2010Is there a constructive way to get fatherly attention from a man when that time of our lives is gone? You cannot go back to having a child’s body or mind. Is marriage a way to find the male friend, the intimate flirt?
I, too, find flirting what I like to do, but also a part of who I am. I did miss my dad’s attention. I like sex. My husband loves for me to flirt with him. But I have real trouble trying to relate to a man without flirting and that is a problem in this society as it is. Guys want that appreciation of who they are when a woman looks directly at them and smiles as if they are the only one in the world. It is a power. Can I channel that power without destroying relationships?

February 22nd, 2010I’ve been on the receiving end of such attention needfullness, and to say that it’s extremely frustrating to receive this kind of attention barely scratches the surface.
Actions that would normally conjure up a date turn out to be nothing but a sham, designed only to see if you would get hooked and respond in kind. It’s one thing to get turned down, but quite another to be given hints of possibilities which could never possibly happen.
