The other day at the gym i got into a discussion with an attractive woman about sports; it was very casual; we were both smiling and, after a couple of minutes, i’d say we were close to flirting; there was like a pause where i could’ve asked her her name or shifted to another subject; she looked into my eyes, almost waiting; and then, suddenly, i had a thought: “don’t do it; if you say the wrong thing, she’ll be put off and think you’re trying to be a player; just move on;” so i did: i told her to have a good workout, turned, and walked away.
One reason i did this is that i’m in a good relationship and don’t want to screw that up; but, frankly, i’m also confused about how to flirt in the wake of the “me-too” movement; i don’t want to make the woman feel uncomfortable or for her to think i’m an asshole; so i’d rather avoid such scenarios than pursue them; and that doesn’t seem right; after all, flirting is a natural thing to do and, i’ve read, it can even improve one’s committed relationships, since flirting keeps one’s romantic cylinders firing, so to speak.
Last thing: i’m not saying that the “me-too” movement is a bad thing; i’m just saying that it’s made flirting complicated and even awkward.
