i like flirting although i don't do it with just anyone! :) i have always been fascinated with those strangers we share moments with when walking down the street. the eye contact and mutual attraction, as well as the possibilities of what they might be like, debating whether to say something, whether you should stop and yet it all comes to an end 4 seconds later as you both keep walking....it's such a natural high.
the shyish smile they leave behind.

I always loved the thrill that came with flirting. It always seemed to bring a bit of abandon and hope of what could be at the same time. Flirting, if done well, can also lead to the awkward but safe conversation you have when getting to know someone. Ah, the early stages of love...it's great to reminisce this Valentine's season...
It is always flattering to know you are like a new novel someone else wants to read:)
angie, thanks for leaving a comment. miss sunglasses :) it definitely is thrilling!!
mermaid :: i love that!! looking at it that way. :) how romantic.
i love the little joys of flirting and the singular feelings they leave behind. it does good for the soul, i think, when you acknowledge the strange chemistries we share with people we don't even know. i love how your pictures bring out that wonderful emotion. brava, bella!
yes, this post cheered me up, too. i think these moments, you have to step outside of your head or you miss them entirely. i haven't had a moment like this in years, and years and years. i'll try looking up this week;).
madelyn :: good to hear :) that it cheered you up. i guess it happens with the one it's suppose to happen with, i guess. i wish you a year of flirting w/Nabeel and others :)
i visit your blog everyday as well. we have so many things in common.
transience :: yes it's definitely nourishing for the soul. thanks :)
pezgirl :: thanks. how do i flirt? good question, with a ;) *wink* :) i think i do so with my eyes. remember they are a reflection of what we are thinking inside. i remember once this guy said i was flirting with him because of me looking at him, looking away, looking at him again. i'm shy. i didn't think i was flirting. you?

Nicely done,
Happened across your blog, and was reminded how romantic flirting can be. Well said, and nicely illustrated. Here's to a happy valentines :)
...oh yes, all those delicious mooning-what-if thoughts, if only for a moment! :))
..ahh but its been a long time..gosh you make me want to flirt again! lol!
Ooooh, girl. I'm trying to do a little less of that, as it tends to get me into trouble. But you're right. It's so much fun - such a high to feel that connection.
I have a similar story about a small bus flirt here:

Hot post! Flirt it up! You must know how to work people. You catch them in every phase. I think flirting is a necessary function, but too often we're too cool or uninterested, or distracted or whatever. It takes a little skill to raise a smile, shy or not. If you act on your interest, the results are surprising!
girl, you've been tagged! only if you wish to though. Me Dream Person
Hi Lorena, but do you know that your is italian name?
I like to see in the eyes: I try the sea and the soul (and sometimes, alas, the abyss)

Is your blog flirting with my blog? I thought so...

Your photos bring life to that feeling that can have you gliding all day.
It's one of the great things about living in the city, taking the T, etc. There's always an opportunity for interesting something or interesting nothing.
but for you, every phrasing is poetic?
good waking my far lady

Hi!
I have used one of the photos in a post that tells a little story about two girls looking at each other while waiting to cross a street. The one in a wheelchair yawns, a long and happy yawn and, when she catches the one in a bike looking, smiles. The one in the bike smiles back sheepish and stops looking. When the light turns green and they meet in the midle of the street, they both take a small look in the same moment and start laughing.
