Okay... A boy in year 7 nervously tells a girl he likes her, to which she replies in kind AND A RELATIONSHIP IS BORN! It's an old scene. However, in the big, bad world, that's not how relationships are "supposed" to occur. Nearly 5 years later and I still haven't figured out how it all works and my love life (or lack-thereof) reflects this.
I'm still not entirely sure what "flirting" entails. From what I can gather, it's like aloof, suggestive, non-commital fun. It confuses me a great deal as it seems to be beating around the bush a bit... Aparently people just do this to sort of pass the time, often doing it whilst in a relationship, having it not mean anything...
Would someone explain to me what flirting really is? And why don't people just come out with it? And why is it apparently okay to do it whilst in a relationship?
