Yup, I just admitted it. I’m sure for most of you out there it’s an obvious thing to flirt with the opposite sex. I’m single, so at least it’s permissible too.
But, over the last few months I’ve noticed something about my flirting. I don’t necessarily want the guy on the other end to actually be interested in me. I don’t really want a relationship right now. But I’ve caught myself a few times flirtatiously interacting with some of the guys I work with. It’s fun.
Then it hit me. It doesn’t matter what the guy thinks. I know when I’m flirting. It’s in my heart. I can be talking to a guy one minute, and then in the next something shifts in my heart to "turn-the-flirt-on".
Is that fair to my future husband? Is that fair to this guy’s future wife?
I know that right now I’m supposed to be single. God has granted me this unique time in my life to grow closer to Him, grow in the different gifts and talents He’s given me, and not have to worry about a husband or family. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s hard. I’m pushing 30 and still single, while surrounded by those in their early-20s, some of whom are engaged!
My saving grace is that I don’t want to settle. I want what God wants for me. I can guess and think ‘’Maybe he’s Mr. Right…’’ but in the end I don’t want to guess. I want to know. That’s something that we all (male or female) should strive for when searching for a spouse.

Charm is deceptive… Proverbs 31:30 (NIV)
