My daughter wanted to hang out with this boy that likes her. But probably not alone. As if I would let them. Now usually if she has a gf to pal around with or her bro, she will just run off with them and have fun. But when she's unsure she will be on my heels or right next to me. I thought taking them to a hip part of seattle (since retro is in there I'm going to use the word "hip") and shop.

 A little cutey was curious about a stylish camera. So I told her a little bit about cameras. Nobody wants a spontaneous lecture about mechanical devices on the weekend so I kept the chit chat light and fun. And complimented her eyes. I was really taking an interest in her. Curiosity, playfulness, those are very attractive qualities to me. She really liked me taking an interest in her and not just her boobs. Which I'm assuming most guys notice first.

Then my daughter's uncertainty spiked. She was on my arm again, showing me pics of animals in a silly book. Little camera cutey quietly slipped away :(

I look (and act/feel) young enough to be my children's older sibling. And my daughter sometimes appears older (why does "quiet"=older?). So confusion occurs a lot.

*sigh* I flirt a lot. And I know it doesn't always work out. That's why I try and meet a lot of people. I'm not looking for anyone, I'm looking for the right one. So I usually shrug it off if my kids scare people off. But they're getting to an age where it's really less of a factor. But I really started to connect with this last flirt.  

Ladies, if you feel something- explore it. If you chatter to yourself about what your parents might think, if your friends might like him or not, if you've got time, if you've done that endless list of crap, what you read in glamour last week, etc.- toss it all out. Explore your feelings. If your heart does a flip, but your practical mind says "idk"- pick your heart. It's much more fulfilling.
