Flirting

This weekend we went to see fireworks at a park nearby. As we drove past people I saw a lot of interesting (and ridiculous) things. I saw two girls pass two guys. The guys must have said something because the girls started to giggle and bat their eyelashes – these are high schoolers by the way. Even after they had passed each other the guys continued to look back at the girls. The one guy was so interested in the girls that he wasn’t paying attention to his pants and tripped over them. So much for looking hot and in-control.
Every time I see people flirt I have to laugh. It always turns out ridiculous. So, why do we feel flattered when someone flirts with us? I suppose it’s because someone is paying attention. We feel special. We feel attractive. But if we could be that third person looking on we’d see how ridiculous flirting looks.
When flirting, we loose all sense of maturity. We’d like to think we’re in control of the situation but in reality we’re letting our emotions control us. We degrade ourselves and lower our standards just so we can show off. Even though we’re trying to look cool and smooth we end up looking like a fool.
Flirting is another part of playing the dating game. It’s not ladylike or gentlemanly. It’s childish. Instead of showing how stupid we can be, let’s impress that ‘special person’ with how mature and Christ-like we are. Don’t lower your standards just to get noticed. You’re worth more than that.
