Another Excerpt from 99 Honest Dating Tips
(adj). The utility of flirting. E.g. A man who you discover within 10 minutes has a girlfriend or wife would report a negative flirtility factor. It is bad karma to continue with the conversation in all actuality. Annoyingly this person would appear to have self esteem issues in that he is an attached person but still wants to go out and feel the high of pulling a girl and then be unavailable, forcing a win win situation selfishly only for himself, we do have the confidence to just say no to that situation and refuse to take on the burden of stroking his esteem through a risk and guilt free sexuality massage. Compare with, a high flirtilty factor which is demonstrated when the person is challengingly intelligent, interestingly handsome and you can physically feel the chemistry between the two. 120% flirtility factor. Median flirtility is when you feel the situation is quite neutral. I remember being at Kensington Roof Gardens this summer, and chatting with two men, both of which were nice looking but not hot, but were very smart. I could tell they were sussing out which one of them might be the one to hone in on me properly. But this process took beyond 45 minutes. After the 45 minute mark, we had had a nice conversation, some flirting although limp at that, but it was going nowhere. They were not overly flirting: the flirtility was stagnating, and fast. In these situations, I get impatient and testy. Inner monologue says, and the point is....If my smile is faltering then I feel it is my duty to continue the hunt. I don't like hovering in neutral. I want to go, and have fun. So, I made up an excuse and left the situation. It honestly seems to me that the average flirtility factor is usually where a majority of men (who you meet in bars) hover; and the guys that ask you out tend to have a below average flirtility factor, which is why Miss GL is still single; internet dates are usually lower quartile flirtility factor.Lately I have not had loads of luck in terms of synchronising the flirtility factor with the available to take me out factor. I met a really neat guy on Saturday night by virtue of the rule of Hat Trick effect. Hat trick is a last minute pull that happens during drinking establishment egress. Although I had spotted him, and mentioned to my wingman (will discuss this essential accessory on another post) that I would be interested in talking to him, it wasn't until the pub was closing that we had a conversation which led to going to the next watering hole together. which turned into afterhours with his friends and me getting really trashed on multiple types of alcohol. The lesson is, no matter if this guy ever calls, and (I do want him) to, that perseverance pays off (as my Dad says, but probably never in his conservative mind meaning in this context, love irony she says). Stay to the end boys and girls. De minimus, it may be worth a story, and for me at this point is what life is about.

Ever-impressed to witness Miss GL in action. Totally missed the Hat Trick in process on Saturday, but definitely good results: one minute you were talking to the girls and the next you had delicately ensnared the cute boy. You're the personification of the Venus flytrap. I love it.
120% flirtility factor... god, I love that.
Couldn't have done it w/o the wingman, shout out to my glam peeps.Sara, why aren't there more 120%ers, that is the question isn't it?
Oh such class, such grace... the chase is always so much fun. I really hope he calls as well!
