I always seem to have a problem with this. On this site as well. So maybe you should all take a min of your time to read this
: Flirt
1.to court thrillingly or act amorously without serious intentions; play at love; coquet.
I grew up with my sarcastic humor and my pleasantly friendly attitude. I have always been very outgoing and well liked. I’m known for my humor and sarcasm, and I am usually the entertainer in a group. You would think these would be good characteristics. I guess not.
In that past, there have been a few people who have been offended, or disagreed with my actions towards certain people. This is because my personality tends to be a bit more flirtatious than most.
Everyone around me acts just as I do it seems. Perhaps it just seems so because they all simply play along with me and my individuality. Growing up around friendly people, it is hard for me to refrain from being so outgoing and sociable. I can’t help but tend to be a flirt. I also grew up with very low self esteem, perhaps, even that contributes to my playful manor. Flirting makes me smile, giggle, and just feel good inside. Acting playful and even conceivably teasing will always have its possibilities of leading to more and I completely understand that flirting with a man who is involved with someone is a bad idea. Since, I am aware that they can easily get the wrong message. But when both parties know their actions are merely in a joking way by strictly plutonic means, there should not be a problem.
I am not bias about my personality. Not only do I flirt with men, enemies, acquaintances, and even close friends, but females too. These actions are more than I can control. I suppose some might say this is a poor excuse, but it isn’t much of a care of mine, since I know it is only me being me.
When I am wrong, and cross a line, sometimes I may not realize it. If you point it out and let me know, under most circumstances I will immediately apologize. Not everybody feels the same way I do about flirting. And I know very well that it is easy for people to get jealous over something I might see as simple fun. If I am told, in a kind way of course, that I am walking a thin line, then I will check myself and be more cautious of my actions toward a person.
However, if I am approached in a rude tone over the situation, I will give you a chance to calm down. I will explain myself to you and hope you understand, after my apologies I will assure you I will be more careful. If you then persist at being a total bitch/asshole/douche bag/ prick about it all, then I will continue what I am doing. I will find out just what pisses you off, and make it a point for you to realize I am continuing it.
This all comes from a situation that just occurred with me. I was called out. I apologized and assured this person I would back off. And still…This ....*holds back* …"female" (for lack of ambition to be a jerk)decides to still continue on about the situation in a completely rude manor.
My eyes are opened to how people can be so close minded. And I will attempt to be a bit more careful about things, but I will not stop being who I am or change how I act, merely, tone it down a bit. Understandably, people will get upset. But let’s play nice shall we?
To be honest, I love my attitude and personality. It juts may be one of the only things I actually enjoy about myself. I am proud to be this way. I act as I was taught, as I grew up. I will not change because it does not suit the satisfaction of someone else, no matter who it is. I am who I am, if you do not like it, well then fine, you do not like me, and stop wasting my time and yours as well.
