not always a flirting tactic obviously but offering you a bite of their food, a sip from their cup, bringing you an extra bottle of water or snack without being askedāeven if you donāt need anything the gesture is š„µš„ (full disclosure iāve never been aware of anyone flirting with me *in the moment* and didnāt know my partner ever had before we dated until he told me a decade into our marriage that yes, actually, of course he was flirting with me š« devastating)
Lately I have appreciated the art of the flirt. In an interview I heard with Sofia Hagen, they said that flirting āis not about you, itās a gift youāre giving someone.ā And that turned my whole perspective around.
bc itās what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but Iām just happy to have made it through this part at 32! Stacked is everything I read in my English coursesābarely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
