Flirting

Yesterday I went to the make up counter at John Lewis (wedding pending) to get my eyes done by the lady on the Clarins counter (Leicester branch she is lovely been there years). While I was perched on the stool being done a gentleman came along and started to join in our conversation about my eyes (lovely apparently!! grin) and the lady thought we were together so she kept asking his opinion. He chatted and smiled at me and then asked for some moisturiser- 'a metrosexual' I said giggling playfully, shameless hussy. The lady twigged we weren't together and went all apologetic served him and he went on his merry way. I have to ask myself when will I stop this unseemly behaviour- the answer is apparently probably never - are you a flirt or do you have more decorum than me?

I too have been known to do phone flirting, and have been told that I have one of "those" voices!

Someone actually once suggested that I consider doing those phone sex line things!shock

I definitely wouldn't speak to another woman in the way that I speak to men. It's not flirting, but as Jalima says, it's more like banter. I do make cheeky comments - it's just harmless fun. I think most of us do it, but wouldn't consider it flirting. At nearly 76 I don't think any attempt at flirting would get me very far.

I did have a bit of banter with a younger man in the supermarket the other day as we both went to grab what we thought was the last of the offer on the shelf.
His wife stood behind him grinning
