Flirting With Disaster


Recreational Flirting

This is best done while in bars or at parties. While it can be a boost to your ego, I never take recreational flirting seriously. As with the above-mentioned waiter, I know I am just one in a line of girls the man in question is working his charm on. Recreational flirting is not damaging to a relationship (old or new) – it’s just a practice run.
