This was written my third day in Paris. I came in from a long day out doing site seeing, having just eaten dinner, and ready to crash. The guy behind the hotel counter and I got chatting...then sort of flirting. I came back up to my room and wrote this. I am not very coherent when both tired and surprised. But thought I'd share.
The French, I think, flirt more as a way to make conversation, or tease you...but it still put me all a flutter.
End disclaimer begin the blurb.
Officially REALLY distracted…
Damn. French men. They can flirt! And if I notice it…it’s flirting. What starts out as a normal conversation with the guy behind the desk of my hotel…turns into “you are too young, and too cute” and I “make his heart flutter when I look at him sideways”. I mean. And…yeah. He puts his hand on the counter and gives mine a squeeze, and I just take my hand back, because I still think he’s just teasing, but he leaves his hand out there…thankfully the other guy comes in and I can ask for my key and fleeeeeeeee.
I don’t deal well with being flirted with. Obviously.
But man, they know how to make you feel pretty. Whoa.
Sheesh deary. Deep breaths! "That's what we think all you French men say..." And they think we're all easy. Common knowledge, not that we're easy, that they THINK we're easy. :P
ReplyDeleteAlso, you ARE cute.
Good luck resisting the charm of the French on a half socially functioning brain!

Ohhhh Lucy ...
ReplyDeleteJust remember playing hard to get is not a deterrent ^^ By the time you get home you'll be well traveled and experienced in the realm of flirting and being able to make a calm exit with a collected response to such lines (though I admit this particular man was laying it on a little thick, but you are adorable and obviously struck his fancy, which is an EXCELLENT ego boost!). The men here will have NO idea what to do with you. Love and miss you keep me updated on all things!

I've been telling you for years just what this young man did! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it ~ besides, he can't work all the time! Just take it in stride as a compliment, and move on. Don't let him influence what you can and cannot do! You are stronger than any man!!
