I find it no coincidence that the definitions of play include "amorous flirtation", "recreational activity", "absence of serious or harmful intent", and "a move or series of moves calculated to arouse friendly feelings". Flirting, in my opinion, is adult play. As much as women should find their self worth from their accomplishments, we all can use a reminder or two that others find us attractive, sexy, intelligent and captivating. Let's face it, when we feel sexy, we act sexy, and how can any husband complain about coming home to a wife like that?
Contrary to popular thinking, being married can actually free the flirt within. Your off-the-market status eliminates any expectations of a continued acquaintance, therefore, there is no pressure to perform flawlessly. Confidence is damn sexy, as is genuineness, and many singles cannot pull of a successful flirt like a married woman, simply because she's not concerned with making a good impression. Flirting can be powerful. That man you would never have approached when single is nothing more than an evening's entertainment, fantasy fodder for when you crawl into bed with your loving spouse. And let's not forget, your attention is a gift, and giving it to someone will elevate them as well. Such an easy way to do community service, don't you think?
If you are already among the ranks of admitted flirts, good for you. Enjoy it. If you're not, I suggest you try it. You may find that you like it.
