Recently I've been rethinking my flirtatiousness. Sure, I know how to do it tastefully and even innocently in the friendly way that just makes a man feel noticed and appreciated for his efforts in self-care or for being a gentleman. However, not everyone looks at and takes flirting so innocently - they may think you really want them. Not everyone can leave it at it's flavor - they want to add even more spice and mess it up with unsavory and disrespectful behavior.
It's time to start looking at everything I do - every thought, every word, every action - as spreading seed. I don't want to waste seed. I don't want to plant seed in the wrong soil, either. I sure don't want to water any seed that's fallen on the wrong ground. Sometimes friendly behavior or compliments can be mistaken for flirtation. That's when we have to take responsibility for and examine our actions, be clear with our messages and maybe stop sending certain ones. By no means should we hold others responsible for our actions, nor hold their reactions against them without looking at ourselves first, and taking the opportunity to choose the right seeds to water, only after we make sure we've planted it in the right soil. Watch how many fewer weeds you have in your life.
