I've been dabbling in psychology off and on for the last couple years specifically because I want to avoid letting myself get bent out of shape by situations like this. A lot of people would be a lot healthier mentally speaking if they'd just take the time to learn where these knee-jerk reactions are coming from. Once you learn that, you're no longer at their mercy.
I've been thinking since last night about my views on flirting. You're view was correct and mine was overboard...it's weird, you're the only person on these boards that actually makes me think and later change things about my views on certain topics.

I now do recognize flirting as a character trait, but as always there are limits to things.
