Once upon a time, I was a flirt.
Correction: as far back as I can remember, even in my preschool days… I was a flirt.
I cannot remember a time when I didn’t spend a ridiculous amount of energy trying to make the opposite sex desire me, burn for me, fall desperately in love with me.
Then, almost a year ago now, I fell. I fell so hard I skinned my knees and chipped a tooth. I fell so hard, I pulled my heart out of my chest- the WHOLE thing, including all the pieces I thought others had stolen over the years. I took it with every last scratch and scab, the whole tangled and bloody mess, and I handed it over to him, completely.
And I’ve never regretted it for a second.
Since that moment, the vixen has all but disappeared. My eyes only bat coquettishly at him, he is the only one I sashay my hips for. The playful seductress is gone. Instead of making men wonder what I am thinking when I walk by them on the street, I avoid their eyes, not wanting to engage in an awkward conversation that inevitably ends with a gentleman feeling I am brushing him off with the old “boyfriend” line.
More than that, I respect my man too much to subscribe to a cheap thrill for my ego.
Sometimes I miss the banter, the game, the excitement of knowing a man is hungrily plotting his plan of pursuit, whether I want him or not. But not often, and certainly not enough.
There is only one concern that dances in my mind occasionally… an age-old question among those “taken”…
“Do I still have it?”
Skills wane if they are not exercised; this is undeniable. Could I still convince a man to stop on the street, using only my eyes? Could I persuade him to send over a drink in a bar, simply by letting him catch only the corner of a glance? Or would I be rusty? Does my status of “Someone’s S.O. and couldn’t be happier” radiate from my pores, nullifying all other pheromones?
It is not a pressing concern. It is certainly nothing that plagues me. It is a simple passing thought, nothing more than a wondering in the wind- inevitable on my long walks on the streets of my city.
Last week, I left work after a long day… in the pouring rain. As I made my way to a much-needed cocktail with the girls, I huddled at an intersection, waiting for the light to change while God’s tears began to soak me through.
Suddenly, an enormous umbrella was looming over my head. I looked up into the eyes of a gorgeous young man in a perfectly fitted suit. He gave me a cocky grin; he might as well have supplemented it with a wink. I responded with a nervous smile, flattered and grateful, (a little bewildered,) but not wanting to seem anything more.
Our “WALK” appeared, and we sailed across the street. As we reached the other side, it was clear he intended to travel that way as far as I would go, and my inner “Inappropriate Meter” began to go off.
“Thank you,” I simply said, and split off from his shelter quickly, heading west instead of his north. I didn’t look back, but I could feel him stop and look after me, wondering.
“And that’s how I like it,” I thought, with satisfaction. “Wondering.”
Yup.
Still got it.

You go girl! Of course you still got it sista!!!
But that was really sweet of him! AWWW
Of COURSE you still got it.
I flirt…I think. I don’t even know anymore. I just don’t care as much as I used to…I KNOW I can get a guy to fall for the little smirk and the boobies on a good day…
It’s just a matter of ‘Do I even want that?’ and lately?
Notsomuch.
I think I’m ready for commitment. Oy. Did I just say those words?
I don’t think I ever knew how to flirt. This explains why my exes were either porn stars or hipsters.
I never actually had IT,so it baffles me to this day how the hell I ever hooked up with guys,or eventually,got my boyfriend.Guess it will forever remain a mystery.
I was always too shy to flirt. Somehow, I won Husband over, though I wonder how sometimes.
I typically try to avoid the stares of men when I pass so that I won’t be thrown into an awkward conversation. Typically, I make it even more awkward by blurting out, “I’m married” before they can even speak. …And then they just ask for a piece of gum. Haha!
As a lifelong flirt, I can assure you that it is like riding a bike; it never goes away.
Loved this post! So well written and great descriptions!
I’ve never really been a great flirt. I’m still a little shocked Matt is with me.
Of course you have it. You use it on me all the time– duh.
I have no idea what it is.
Once a flirt, always a flirt.
You go girl!!!
And props to the guy – smooth moves with the umbrella… I’m impressed.
Of course you are still a vixen. And in 30 years, you will be a cougar. It’s just evolution babe.
Awww, that’s awesome. I wish I liked someone enough to stop flirting.
if you run into mr. umbrella again, could you flirt long enough to give him my number?
Umbrella on the street? That’s like offering to carry books/packages/groceries. Easiest way to talk up women. That’s why I should spend more time at small parking lots/garages. Then again, it can get stalkerish.
I’m a married woman now, so I don’t flirt anymore, but I do love those moments where men make you feel like you’re still noticed!
YAY! You’ve still got it!
You’re mucho fabuloso chica of course you have it!
"Inappropriate Meter" <—- I so know what you're talking about!
I used to LOVE the attention I got before J and I started dating.
But since then I find it creepy and uncomfortable when men look at me.
It's like I want to scream at them LEAVEMEALONEI'MWITHSOMEONECREEP!
Yeah. They're probably not the weird ones.
cutest post ever.
I’m one of those who’s never had it. No one has ever bought me a drink except friends or guys I’m already dating. Oh and the guy last weekend who was buying my friend a drink and wanted to win points with her so he bought me one too.
Seriously – game. I have none.
You? a flirt?
I would have never guessed.
jk
I’d like to have read his blog post about this little incident.
“Yup,” he clickey-clacked onto his keyboard, “I’ve still got it.”
And by “it” of course, he means “herpes.”
Mr. Fitted-Suit Umbrella-Man– having herpes is like riding a bicycle…
Well, I’ve fallen in love with you, so you definitely still have it!
I totally relate to you on this post. I was always a flirt too, I always attracted attention, got hit on everywhere… but once I met my man, it never really mattered. If a guy tried to talk to me, I would ignore him or just give him the “engaged” story or the “boyfriend” story. Now I have a good “kid” story – it still doesn’t stop all of them, lol.
But I do occasionally wonder if I still have *it*. And I’ve realised I do as well, especially when you’re walkin down the street with a stroller and a guy slows his car down, winks at you, then drives around the block and comes back to ask your name. I’M WITH A KID IN A STROLLER. LOL. That’s the MILF thing I guess… but I still attract without the kid too
Yeah the only men who flirt with me are babies and octogenarians.
Ooh an umbrella, how gentlemanly! It’s always good to know you’ve still got it, even if you’re not looking. There’s no harm in reveling in a little attention now and then
Ah, if only men could measure that ‘got it’ness on a similar scale. No matter which way we try, it normally ends up with ‘did you penetrate?’ as the only real yard-stick (giggle) for success.
Like the Apron, I too would’ve loved to see his blog entry:
‘Had I failed to deodorise? Did I drip some water down the back of her neck? Had I misinterpreted her sultry, downcast grin?’
I don’t actually have anything witty to say in response. But do know that I am smiling.
I’m sure you’ve still got it! It’s not a man that takes it away, it’s kids. So keep those kitties under control!
You bitch.
I replaced the word ‘umbrella’ with ‘penis’ when I read it.
Much more interesting now from a man’s perspective.
LOVE. THIS.
Of course you still got it. Heck, I’d turn lesbian for ya.
Ahhh, it feels good doesn’t it ?
I miss it too sometimes but really wonder if I had it in the first place. lol
My ex used to say I was oblivious to it but that I got lots of attention from men. Part of me wonders if it was just his jealously speaking.
Alright girl!!!! We all like to feel we still “got it” every now and then. Good for you.
Ha, love it! I, however, am the worst flirt in the world. I’m awful. Not only am I badbadbad, but I am so oblivious to it that I don’t realize when others are flirting with me!
Let’s hope we never have the need to use it. But it’s comforting to know it’s like riding a bike.
You know that guy thought he was awesome for being able to pull that move out.
Ah, life skills. I’m looking forward to the day I can retire my flirt … and happy to know she may not disappear, after all. : ) Great story!
“More than that, I respect my man too much to subscribe to a cheap thrill for my ego.”
Love it for many reasons.
teehee, you’ve brightened my morning. Poor guy though, that umbrella move was pretty slick.
Woohoo…But then again, just from reading your blog I can tell that you had it and still have it, you’re a charming lady. =) It’s soooooooo nice of you to have your eyes and heart only to your man. That’s sooo sweet. You guys should have a reality show or something I’d definitely be glued. =)
I once had a man steal my umbrella and run off. But I bet he secretly liked me.
it’s always nice to know
tht was kool
very nice
i know i still got it, and i’m not even trying anymore at this point, because even the firemen will lean out of their truck as they go by to get a glimpse of my ass or cleavage. it’s not like i’m showing them off, so maybe they’re just desperate…damn.
Oooo, what a wonderful post! So beautifully written!
Sometimes, I think a woman/man who is taken becomes that much more appealing—because you exude a new confidence and happiness thanks to the fulfilling joys of a good relationship (i.e., good sex and lovin’ and fun). You still have “it”—but it’s a whole new kind of “it,” you know?
Excellent post. I think as females, we always wonder this not matter how attached we are. I wonder, do males ever think this way?
Also, I want to say this was really well written. Kudos!
sweeeet, sweet post. flirting– harmless flirting– is healthy for girls. seriously. it makes you feel good, puts a little bounce in your step, raises your self-confidence– and it’s ok for your bf to remember every once and a while that you’re still a nice catch.
that being said– of course you still got it!!
I’m a creep magnet. So basically, if a guy hits on me, it’s a good indicator that he’s a freak, or married, or emotionally unstable…or all of the above. It’s incredible, really.
Girlfriend still got it, can’t lose it.
Oh yeah … momma’s still got some of that!
of course you’ve still got it!!!
In a few days, I will have been married 36 years. Flirting is a great way to see if you still “got it”, but it is up to you how far it goes.. It’s fun and harmless- as long as you know you is in charge of the flirting!
You WORK that wet hair, girl…
I never really got into the game, although I’m starting to pick it up. Since you don’t need your skillz anymore, care to pass them along?
Of course you still have it. You have that witty personality that just surrounds you and is naturally flirty.
Often I don’t realize I’m flirting. Which might deem me a tease. But I don’t care.
“almost a year ago”
Child, please. Try almost nine years and THEN wonder if ya still got it.
; )
OF course you do. Hello!? Do I need to slap you?!
Women like us are able to suppress our prowess. We only use it when totally necessary (i.e. job security, free booze, getting out of speeding tickets or murder charges)
The last guy that hit on me was homeless.. no joke… he told me to suck his dick. Wait, I’m not even sure if that counts as being hit on.
I have no game since this whole committed thing I got myself into. I will continue to live vicariously through you b/c you are awesome.
Hey if B gets jealous of that guy, just turn the shower and a fan on, give him an umbrella and he can role play.
I tried the umbrella move once. Well, the woman in question was actually a little old lady holding a potted plant who I really was trying to help. Even then, I got a “buzz off, pervert” from the old gal.
Yup, I still got it.
of course you still got it.
if you have it at all, you always have it. no matter how rusty you are.
and props to staying faithful to the boyfriend.
(not taking about cheating but the whole not flirting bit)
Yeah, it’s always good to know that you still got it.
BTW that was how I knew my hubby was the one. I quit even scanning a room to look at hotties.
Unless I dare swagger through the guarded halls of a seniors’ long term care facility, I am assured of not being tested. Yes, I still have a magical charm, but it is not unlike that of Hannibal Lecter played by the ever charming Anthony Hopkins. You have to be a tad twisted to appreciate it.
That said, I have seen your pic; you are guaranteed to be the object of lust for decades.
I challenge you to a flirt off.
(as he raises his brow and slowly leans against the wall)
“You’re welcome,” I replied. But you were long gone. “Last time I innocently keep a girl dry and end up miles out of my way,” I thought.
lol
*busy buying a week’s supply of umbrellas*
Yeah girl! It’s always nice to know a woman still has it. And you, my dear, still have it.
usually when I realize I still got it, its because a 16 year old boy tried to pick me up at the circle k. I blame it on living in the country. I’m sure if older boys hung out at the circle k theyd totally try to pick me up too.
So you don’t flirt to get free drinks at the bar?
You’re the only one.
I just wear no pants.
Had a similar situation on Saturday night. A guy ‘offered’ and I turned him down…was such a tease but it felt GREAT! lol x
you could have told this mystery man that you have a hot friend in cleveland that could use a little cover.
will travel for sex.
“the whole tangled bloddy mess, and I handed it over to him, completely” love it. you have such a way with words. i have read this post about 3 times already. my boss just walked by and gave me the evil eye. i was all like “awww.” and “you get it, girl”.
thanks for this post girl. i really needed it today. how did you know?
Pshhh once you have it you will always have it. That wont be dissapearing anytime soon, you vixen
i hear you! i wonder those same things sometimes… do i still have it or not? sometimes i miss dating, just for the firsts of it all. but at the end of the day i couldn’t be happier.
The old eye maneuver, that’s enough to make anyone smile. I love flirting it helps boost confidence. If I’m ever feeling down and I catch a womans eye I give that little smile and a nod up, look away then back and if she’s smiling, mission accomplished. lol
I’m sure you could probably just do “The Fonz” and get guys running over to fan you down on a hot day. lol You should try it.
I’ve lost it. But dammit, I’m going to get it back! Any tips gratefully received.
I hear you loud and clear!!!!!! and agree 100% with it:) Cheers to still having it
I love to flirt. I’m helpless. I’ll flirt with anyone, I love it!!
perhaps this is my problem? i need to be practicing my Man-Acquiring Skillz? doh.
I’d do ya.
There are cobwebs on my flirt-o-meter at this point. When someone’s nose is practically down my blouse, then I think “oh! He’s flirting!”
Ahh, being in love.
YEAH you do!
By the way, how do you make someone “burn” for you. I wanna know!
Ahhhh, memories of long ago. I had it…big time. I think I still have it, although I don’t have time for it anymore, lol. OMG, I’m old.
Re: the boyfriend line. It’s so annoying when a less attractive woman trots that out within 2 seconds of meeting her. As if….
Don’t you ever go questioning whether or not you got it. Of course you do dollface. You a fine mother facker won’t you back that ass up?
I think I still got it too. At least that is what I tell myself.
Sure does feel good to know you’ve still got it! Go girl!
you are such a good writer! Of course you still got it
omg the part about you falling so hard and chipping a tooth made me laugh, because when I was 3 I fell so hard I chipped my tooth too; And today when I went to the dentist I found out that that chipped tooth of mine (which i got filling for) is DEAD and I need a ROOT CANAL WTF I’m way too young for dentures!!!
I have no idea how to talk to guys without flirting. My boyfriend appreciates this. And by appreciates I mean no, not really.
I FELT that one! Ohhhh, I’m standing up and clapping for you right now!
You could have hacked up a big green booger onto the sidewalk as you walked away, just to make him feel better!! :p
Of course you’ve still got it! This post made me feel good, so thanks for that.
Also, for what it’s worth, I come by and read your posts all the time, but when I see that you have a million comments, I get all seized up with anxiety and don’t know what to say, so I often don’t. Just wanted you to know I’m here, and thinking appreciative comments in my head.
I’ll work on it.
Girl, I didn’t doubt that for a minute!!!!!
*kneeling, hailing you with both arms*
Bravo, well put, So true!
Great line too: I respect my man too much to subscribe to a cheap thrill for my ego.
Don’t you love it when that happens? I mean yes, you have a sweetie and no you don’t need the attention, but still, to make a guy wonder about you. Right on. Just the mere tease of something…altho while you are “taken” and I am single (at one pt I was taken for a long time- I wondered after diving back into the dating world if I still had a flirtatious side, if I could make guys wonder/want me…yes I still had it), we’re still girls and every now and then we wonder if we still have it- especially after a year has gone by, and you girl, you definitely still have it.
Ps- and you didn’t really didn’t do anything either…phew I need to learn a little from the pro. ;P
Teach me your ways. It rained today and nobody offered me an umbrella. That could be because I was surrounded by 13-year-olds, but still…
Hahahaha! Love it! I haven’t flirted for SO long that I get really nervous and flustered now when I am in a situation that would usually involve flirting.
I definitely don’t think that I still have it!
Umbrella boy is probably thinking “oh shit, did I lose it?”
Did you lick your finger and sizzle it on your butt when you wrote that? You shoulda.
great writing
Funny I wanted to say just like lemmonex.. it’s like riding a bicycle
Nice
Since I got all “taken”, I just attract the creeps.
But who knows. Got a couple of girls nights coming up. I would never disrespect my hubby but a part of me wants some hot dude to check me out before I smile and move on
Good for you!!! I bet it made you feel really good. It’s nice when you get flirted on.
I can gare-uhn-tee you still got it, lady! Youse a total hottie.
Damn. The fellas never open their umbrellas for me. I guess maybe you’re just a bit cuter than I am.
Awwwww I love this story!! SO F*CKEN CUTE!! You still got it doll your beautiful!!!
You have it and you have it GOOD! You’re so cute and your man is LUCKY!
Ummm nooo I didn’t get it, and clearly, based on my last depressing post, I could use it! HAHA I’m sure it will come soon. Come…soon.
wow.
XO
I am just not a flirter–I did pretty well when it came to suggestive texts and emails, but that’s about it. Luckily my husband is too big of a dork to let things like that get in the way. It was weird though–as soon as we got engaged, it was like all the guys in the world started noticing me–bah, where was that in high school?
But once you’ve got it, you’ll never lose it!
This post was great!
I never had it.I dunno how it is to have it.Pah.
It always feels good to know you still got it! You go girl! You probably left the guy wondering what the hell went wrong? lol
waou youre blog is so lovely
its the fist time i visit it
j’adore la header
well ill be back to visit you for sure

xxx
You are definitely a saucy little miss, of course you’ll never lose it!! Maybe you should start flirting with B??? Hehe.
Sorry I’m late…better late than never? No? Ok, I’ll try harder next time! x
I’ve always been flattered by that sort of thing, even when my friends are with me and ignore the cat calls and horn beeps.
Okay, I am officially really pissed because I answered about 75 of these yesterday, and it is nowhere to be seen. WTF, BLOGGER?!?

Well that was super sweet of him though.
I’m a flirt, by nature. It’s something I don’t even realize I’m doing and although it’s something I’m generally aware of, I often don’t see it ’til days later or ’til someone notifies me. I like to think I’m friendly and act the same with everyone, regardless of gender. I just might be wrong though…
Once you have it, I dont really thing you lose it. But its good to know that you still have it. =)
Congrats to you for still having it. Here’s the problem I have. I’m 25, awkward, single, and never really had it. In the story you just told I’m the one that would have tripped and fallen on my ass half way across the street. I’m banking on clumys being endearing. Otherwise I’m screwed.
It’s impossible to lose such good skills so quickly. Hopefully you won’t ever have to use them anymore with anyone else, but you needn’t worry. And for the record, I find myself automatically turning off the “flirt mode” when I’m with someone in particular, too. Not because I feel like I have to, but because I want to.
Congrats on still having it girl!
honey, i’m not gonna lie, you still got it cause when i first met you i was like “damn, lilu, if only there wasn’t a B and i didn’t love the peepees.”
or something like that. point is, yeah. you rock.
The good ol' "Do i still have it?". ekekke
it has more to do with self recognition.
It means you're still young, healthy, and,,,a woman.
Its like a confirmation on a guestlist of an exclusive
private party. You don't have to go but you can if you want to, ya know.
————————————-
Recently a stranger who read one of your older post.
I find the ability to express in any form of art very enticing. (a huge plus if your style, philosophies show through 'em.) Sometimes just being yourself is a flirt. The funny thing is most of these moments you dont even realize it. For instance, look and me now, im here reading your blog, basically hooked.
amindinmotown: Nah, I'm sure you're right. Friendly is as friendly does.
Mandy: It is, isn't it?
JPP: If clumsy wasn't endearing, I'd be in a LOT of trouble. Work it girl! *snaps*
Zandria: EXACTLY. But it's good to know that switch still works.
Lil' Woman: Thanks, love.
Vittoria: Those damn peepees! They always get in the way. (Literally. Ha!)
K.Min: Thank you so much, my NY bartending friend. You're absolutely right. And I hope you stick around!
