Flirting is most definitely one of my favorite pasttimes, and now there’s a guide to it. I long for the friends that i can flirt with, with no expectation or assumptions. I miss the games that we would play, teasing one another until it hurt. It’s actually one of the reasons that i adore my gayboy friends – flirtation without assumption. Mmm… summer flirtation.

But flirtation is like all social interaction – it’s a learned ability and not everyone gets it… likewise, not everyone gets the nuanced styles of flirtation, when they are meant to be fun and when they are meant to be serious. I wish more people could read between the lines, but then again, that’s something we Americans don’t do so very well…

i guess you can say that we’re coming along when colleges are trying to explicitly appeal to / recruit gay high school students to fill the diversity quotient in colleges… i do think it’s great that colleges are seeing these kids as special, odd as it is…
