"... and on dreary mornings, I recall my sunlit breakfast at a small trattoria in Viareggio, where a man lowered his newspaper just long enough to watch me walk over to my table. His gaze was neither demanding nor demeaning, but it awakened me to my presence. Tingling with this self-awareness, I sipped my cappuccino -- solo.This is the art of flirting.
I find it revealing that my fondest recollections of flirtation occurred while I was abroad. Sadly, in this country, the art of flirting is languishing. Weakened by the '60s, inhibited by the women's movement and the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, displaced by tell-all talk shows, its proximity to sexual harassment may have dealt flirting a mortal blow..."
>>>Europeans have such a flair for flirting that it must be transmitted via breast milk. Why don't Americans get it?, ... intrebare dintr'un articol al revistei SALON, 2000.

>>>The Science of Romance: Why We Flirt, ... sustine printre altele, urmatoarele:
"... One of the reasons we flirt in this way is that we can't help it. We're programmed to do it, whether by biology or culture. And there are some schools of thought that teach there's nothing wrong with that. Flirtation is a game we play, a dance for which everyone knows the moves. And one of the most exhilarating things about the game is that...
Clarity is not the point.
In primal terms, these are physical signals that you don't intend to dominate, nor do you intend to flee--both useful messages potential mates need to send before they can proceed to that awkward talking phase. They're the opening line, so to speak, for the opening line. Flirting opens a window of potential. Not yes, not no." The game is not new ... If worst comes to worst and you don't still have it (and yes, I'm sure you do), the very act of flirting with someone else may bring about renewed attention, from your mate, which has advantages all its own. So it's a win-win."

la acest subiect,
desi a fost citit
se pare ...
de`o mare`a mea
admiratoare ...
Mai, mai, feodorovna, trebuie sa-mi fac mea culpa.:-)
Eu abia tarziu, de fapt, abia cand am vazut noul subiect adus de tine in atentia poporului acestui blog, am avut o revelatie!
Toata afacerea asta cu tine pe blogul Ziua Libera incasand scatoalce dupa scatoalce pe baza crezurilor tale socio-politice, ei bine, toata afacerea asta a fost o neintelegere co-lo-sa-la!
Tu venisesi acolo pentru o leaca de ...flirt, liru-liru-crocodilu si noi ne-am ratoit la tine pe teme politice.:-)))
Tu asteptai pe Ziua Libera niste dialoguri patetico-hilare de genul celor pe care le-ai dezvoltat ulterior cu Calugarul, pe Ziua, iar noi te-am luat in serios.
Acuma, asta e, nu te-am inteles si gata, nu mai am ce face, dar mai bine mai tarziu decat niciodata. Nu?:D
Deci, promit solemn sa te tratez de acum incolo cu absolut fairness in lumina acestei revelatii. Cu alte cuvinte, este ultima data cand ma mai adresez tie.:-))
Adios!:-)
tu trebuie ca ai revelatii zilnice, e si normal, ...
cu regula de 3 simpla (nu degeaba te intelegi cu katty ...)
nu-mi amintesc sa fi avut ceva de discutat impreuna ...,
doar ma pomeneam cu tine dind navala, asa, din senin, plina de oftica, improscindu-ma cu insulte si venin ...
asa ca, amenintzarea ta plina de megalomanie, cum ca,
california:
"Cu alte cuvinte, este ultima data cand ma mai adresez tie.:-))" ..., e de-a dreptul hilara ...(de subiectul revelatiei nici nu mai pomenesc),
oare creierashu` tau crede cumva ca eu voi simti lipsa invectivelor si scabroseniilor tale veninoase la adresa mea ???
Asta-i ma degraba flit .
Why You Flit ???
Sehe, articolaşul e de baza.
Calipurina e (previzibil) lamentabilă. Nu merită nici măcar sa-i ortografiez numele cum trebuie.
