Flirting Part II

So... I've discovered something else about flirting... Not only should you not use your ninja skills, but that you just shouldn't flirt period. It causes nothing but trouble! Seriously I've tried the whole flirting thing for the last couple months and long story short... I didn't get the guy. And it was completely pointless. Because if I had been upfront and honest instead of trying to play the game, I would have saved myself a lot of embarrassment and time. And I'm disappointed in myself for not following my first instincts, and for not following my own convictions. I tried to be good at something that comes unnatural to me, I tried to do what SOCIETY deems appropriate male-female interactions.

So my conclusion???
Flirting is crap.
Be upfront and honest with people. If you like the person, tell them up front. Yes there is the chance of getting rejected, but even if you flirt, you still have that possibility of being rejected as well. But better to know right off the bat where the relationship stands then wait and find out the way I did. I flirted, he had someone else, I felt like an idiot for playing the game, and here we are. And I think it's important to say that I'm not mad or heartbroken over what happened. Did it hurt? I'm not going to lie... of coarse it did. But I'm so thankful to just have that person in my life that it doesn't even matter. But, learn from me... If you like them, don't play games, just tell them. The rejection is better than feeling like a fool, and the reward can be awesome.
