Lessons on love

Someone flirted with me last night. Ok, it was via Twitter but still, haha. It made me feel kinda alive. I've always been flirty but have toned it waaaay down because my husband is offended by it. But you know what I realized last night, I enjoy flirting.
Now let's be serious, there is no one I would rather spend my time and life with then my husband, but I don't think flirting is a big deal. My husband maintains it gives people (men) the wrong idea. And I say not my problem. I think my flirting is very innocuous. I just do it to have fun and add flavor to my personality. I don't want to follow thru on any of the flirting.
My husband flirts too, although probably not that much in front of me anymore since we both seem to have issues with the other flirting, but I know he does. And why shouldn't he, he is a fine looking man and I believe in my heart he would never follow thru on it.
It just makes the spirit feel good. Think back to a time when you flirted with someone and they flirted back.....how did you feel? I bet you felt on top of the world.
Here is where I think the problem lies.... flirting feels good and we want to keep that feel good feeling so we move forward, trying to get more and more. Some of us lack self control and go to far. Like drinking, I can stop at 3 drinks/beers/whatever. But I know people who drink until they either pass out or get sick. Too much of a good thing.
Also I think we have become an instant gratification society, want it, get it, use it, throw it away. I give props to people who are loyal and faithful to one another for years and years. It's hard, there are so many choices and so many people willing to do anything for a small amount of attention. Reminds me of something I heard a guy say once, 'Fat girls try harder' (Please reader, do not take offense) and they have to, right? I say we all should try harder. I once had something that was the real deal and I threw it away for a small nothing. Very foolish. And do you know how it started? Flirting. But I want to make clear, that although there are times when I am dumb, I have learned from that tragic mistake and will never make it again.
As for flirting, to me, that's all it is. No promise of something better or more fun, but innocent 'haha' fun.
I'll never again be tricked by that feel good feeling.
