I think that I am in two minds.<br />I am going to tell you something now, after which, you may never speak to me again. <br />I DON'T FLIRT !!!! Shock, Horror !!<br />I have always found flirting rather a strange pastime. A real tease. ...and I don't know what the point of it is. It doesn't ever come to any conclusion and finishes on an incomplete note.<br />Sorry Tish. If we ever meet up though, and we go out, you can flirt away to your heart's content. I don't mind other peole doing it. It's just not for me.

He feels sorry for (what he calls) "tight-assed Anglos" who, for exxample, wear decollté then glare if that attracts a glance.<br /><br />And my French GF says, wearily, "With French men, it is so much work, because they all think they have to seduce you".Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-14953193850234609272010-02-23T15:10:00.853+01:002010-02-23T15:10:00.853+01:00This is a great post.

It is fun and lovely when everyone knows it's going nowhere (ie parties are married); otherwise I'm afraid I can't help but feel sad about it. If everyone is free to pursue each other, however, be my guest. I used to love to flirt with my father-in-law, also an outrageous flirt. In some ways it's just about being more interested, smiling more and trying to amuse.<br /><br />I thought the picture of deGaulle looked a lot like Hitler as well; just the style of the day no doubt. <br /><br />There are stories of British couples who always addressed one another as Mr. Jones or Mrs. Jones as well as referring to their spouses as such. If their relationship were that distant it would be very sad. I would hope it was just sort of an inside joke.<br /><br />These are great blog posts, Tish!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-46884639119678919372010-02-23T12:59:29.404+01:002010-02-23T12:59:29.404+01:00It's so lovely to read your post...I'm int...It's so lovely to read your post...I'm intrigued as always~<br />I need 'flirt' in my to do list now!<br />xoLenoreNeverM♡rehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964343661261469513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-9040829049755015262010-02-23T11:27:43.715+01:002010-02-23T11:27:43.715+01:00I enjoy your posts specially because it make me op...I enjoy your posts specially because it make me open my eyes on french "attitudes" : flirting yes !

I would enjoy being on the receiving end of the flirtation, but would not like it at all if my dear, sweet husband was flirting away with someone else. So, I will be thankful that he doesn't!<br /><br />The "gown borrowing" goes on everywhere, unfortunately.

It is so funny that every year that my fourth grade students correspond with their French pen pals, the first question les français ask my kids is, "Es-tu amoureux/amoureuse de quelqu'un?" My kids just spit and think it is disgusting, but voilà, cultural difference! They will learn soon enough how rich that is!<br /><br />Bisous, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-91489781861936433432010-02-23T02:50:54.242+01:002010-02-23T02:50:54.242+01:00I've always felt that there's a certain jo...I've always felt that there's a certain joie de vivre in the whole way the French constantly flirt.
