Well I have been getting a huge boost to my confidence recently.....I've been getting flirted with a lot. I went home last weekend and I got some car flirting on the long drive (I'm on one highway for 60 miles so ya see the same people). I stopped at the gas station and one of the guys that had been smiling and stuff happened to have stopped there too and I saw him look at me and say D****mn look at her Theeeennnn, on the way back it happened a lot too. One guy I thought was gonna follow me like a lost puppy the way he was watching me. Gotta love feeling great about yourself after things like that. Of course I do have a dbf that I've been with for 3 years, and I tell him about it, but it still feels good. We don't mind the flirting because he knows that it just boosts my confidence and same for him. And for my part I don't flirt back, I just smile and be polite. I can't help it they think I look gooood Anyone else having increased flirting with weight loss?
Haha, that is so AWESOME! Enjoy it! Carry those compliments and flirts with you when you are having a bad day, and they'll be sure to pick you up too I hope I am to that stage at some point... but maybe my wedding ring will just turn everyone off anyway, lol. I dunno, I'll have to find out.
My thought about it is is this: flirt your heart out, honey.
Whenever I was single, I lived by the motto "I ain't a playa, I just crush a lot". I was never the type of chick you'd see on tabledancing to get a guy's attention; but I am (or used to be?) great at the verbal banter and picking up and putting down those oh-so subtle physical cues.
I got to the point where I was like this - It's my life, I've got to live it to it's fullest. I may not be rail thin, but damn it I will have fun, I will flirt and ANY guy would be lucky to be with me, if I choose to be with him.
Now, everyone who is scared to flirt, who thinks they are doing it wrong - ask yourself, what could it hurt and then imagine the fun you can have.
CAUTION: Sometimes flirting after you've been drinking seems like a good idea, but keep in mind sometimes they may be cuter while intoxicated or you might go over the top. Yes, I've done that in the past and it backfired horribly.
HOWEVER, if any guy on the highway followed me - I'd be dialing for the state patrol. LOL.
I don't flirt with boys anymore, although I'll be nice to them, and they think that's me hitting on them. I don't know. . .
I just know that my bf HATES it when guys even looks my way. It has caused a lot of fights in our relationship. So when we go out and I even see a guy looking at me, I prepare for the worst.
My dbf's cousin said her rings have just egged guys on even more. After she gave birth to her twin daughters a guy actually came up and asked if she was breastfeeding.
The guy I thought was gonna follow me home was actually at a gas station. He was just watching me leave and kept smiling and stuff. He looked like he was going to say something, but never did.
Mickey- I'm sorry about your bf getting upset over other guys. Thankfully, we have an agreement that we are coming home to each other. It's all harmless because we aren't reciprocating or touching of course. The only issues we've had is over actual past relationships that the people wouldn't let die.
Anywho, it feels good to flirt some. It's funny though because the first couple of times I was like "he's not looking at me" then obviously when he was I thought I had something on me My bf says I'm naive about that sometimes
My husband thinks it is great when other guys notice me. He is all "yep, she's mine", But, if I saw another woman, checking out my man, I would rip her eyeballs out of her head. DH knows I am VERY jealous, and I have never, in 10yrs of marriage ever caught him looking at another women, and trust my I have tried. Now what he does when Im not with him, well that could be different, but as long as I don't see it...lol
I was out on a walk the other day and got whistled at, it made me giggle. I also get checked out when I am riding my motorcycle, I figure they just looking at the bike though...lol
I have definitely noticed this! I was walking down the street in the middle of the day yesterday with my friend and some guy said "you are BEAUTIFUL" and my friend laughed and said "i'm pretty sure that was for you!".
Also yesterday my friend dragged me to a gym because she was thinking about signing up, the guy that was showing us around and trying to get her to sign up was flirting with me the entire time. He would only look at me while talking to us and he showed so much interest in my running. Then as we were leaving he pulled me aside and said how nice it was meeting me and that he'd really love to see me again! It was sooo sweet, I couldn't believe he'd risk getting in trouble at work just to ask me out.
I get a lot more attention at clubs too, but I think most girls do in general.
When it first started happening it made me uncomfortable--it's just been a while. I was even trying to actively NOT be noticed. I finally came out though and am enjoying my hair that is growing out and more girly clothes and colors, cute girly heels, the works. Now, I take the episodes as compliments. I even got free salmon one day. LOL.

i can usually tell when other guys are looking at me because dh will but his arm around me and then he will sometimes tell me about it if i do not notice but i do notice most of the time. he likes the bragging rights (his words not mine) he likes to show that i am his
