Once Upon A Flirt...


OK...I have a problem...I love flirting...not in THAT sense..I mean innocent flirting..You know...like for example...On my way to work...whenever I see the policemen trying to control traffic...I know that he's either freezing his butt off, boiling under the sun or desperately needs the bathroom..and so...in order to cheer him up..I usually wave to him and smile...Granted I shock the hell out of him..but I know he's smiling from inside...

at restaurants..if I feel the waiter is having a hard day..I have to end up saying something to make him feel good...i.e. I've seen you before..I never forget a person with a kind face...I end up making them feel good but in reality..it makes me feel good...so my secret's out.. I love flirting...

There's something about flirting that makes everything seem ok...and the great thing about flirting..it's not illegal...it just leaves you feeling good all over...The other day as I stood next to one of my lovely friends while she admired a good looking guy, I told her to go talk to him...she said "I don't know how to flirt"...I couldn't help but think that she was being modest...i believe it's a women's instinct to know how to flirt...we were born with it...A mother flirts with her new born baby, a sister flirts with her brother, a daughter flirts with her Dad..a cousin flirts with her male cousin...I mean we were born to make everyone feel good about themselves...that's what makes us women so special...

Of course if I'm ever in any form of danger...I also have the ability to make myself invisible..and I believe all women have that ability too...if we don't want to be noticed...we put on our invisible caps on and poof...no one knows we're there..it was created for our safety and it's a wonderful tool to keep us safe...

Lately, life's got me so frustrated that I have this deep need to flirt with good looking men...the type of men that flirt wittingly not arrogantly...(it kills the fun!)...the kind of men that won't be threatened that you're flirting with them because you want something from them i.e. he thinks you're dyeing to marry him...the kind of men that won't presume flirting must lead to something else..the kind of men that appreciate you flirting with them to make them feel good about themselves...and can therefore return the favor...the kind of men that know the difference between confidence and arrogance...the kind of men that are mature enough to know that innocent flirting can be fun and not turned into something perverse!

So...now that my secret's out...could somebody please tell me where in Kuwait can I find a good looking guy that looks like any of these guys? My craving for flirting has taken over me and I'm desperately seeking a guinea pig..:)
Besides..flirting has been scientifically proven to improve one's health...and I love improving my health..don't you?..
I mean, Gawd...just look at this guy's face...how can any women resist!! "Antonio, my darrrrlinnnng! I'd do the dishes for you any day...and knowing me....that is sooooo BIG OF ME!"

hats off to a girl who understands what "handsome" means.. no sissy pretty stuff,
now all we have to do is change all grls perception of 'good looks'.. and then do the same with guys

I think flirting makes you live longer. When you flirt, you laugh, you smile, and it's such a great relaxant for your body.

I wish I could tell you where to go. The best I can do is tell you where NOT to go: Marina, Sharq, or Fanar. Those are full of young teenage boys who are clueless about the fact that their hair is a fire hazard.

Perhaps your best bet may be restaurants?

Guys, isn'y my friend so sweet? :) Being nice to random people, not many like u these days dearie!
I think flirting is natural. AND I have noticed when I pressure myself to flirt I do the exact opposite and become stuck up (when I like someone). I don't understand it. My friend thinks I'm crazy. Simple things like saying hello to someone I know become huge obstacles.

Where u can find 'em, sadly I don't know, but if u do find out plz let me know, would love to see u in action!

:)

hopeless poet...min bu2ak la bab el sama ya 7'ooya!

temetwir...LOL...I like! dayman 6ali3lak eb 6al3a...you are one of a kind I tell ya'!

caffeinated...oooh..I love it when a girl understands...and I was sure carreinated would..;)...Restaurants??.....ok...let's see...since Kuwait has 4 restaurants for every human...any suggestions which one? That's a lot of restaurants to explore if you ask me..;)

DR..7ajiyaa 7abeebti...miss ya girl...wa el e6yoor 3ala ashkaliha taqa3....and you are the sweetest..:)...You're right..it's harder to flirt when you have a big crush BUT..it's the best type of flirting..don't you think?? I guess part of your nervousness and pride mixed up together makes you feel overwhelmed which is natural..as for seeing me in action...7abeebti...care to join me while we explore every corner of Kuwait in search of our guinea pig?...:) see you soon habeebti...

judy abbot...LOL...yes...like I said in my post...my friend is modest..I'm sure she knows how to flirt..;)

Eye candy and insightful narrative... the perfect post!! :)

I have to say, I have flirting issues. I never thought of those things you mentioned (cheering up a sad face, waving to the traffic cop)as flirting! I do that stuff ALL the time... I'm just being friendly! I guess the reason I never considered it flirting is because, when it comes down to it, and I actually have a desire to flirt with a purpose? I CAN'T DO IT! I have no idea what to say or how to say it and I end up horribly embarrassed and hoping to sink straight into the floor below. *sigh*

Signed,

The Unintentional Flirt ;-)

So many good looking guys in one post is too much to handle. Have mercy on your sisters ;)

And I will say to you in Pepe Le Pew's accent: "Fleurt!" Great post :)

I hear ya!

Girl, I flirt with waiters too lol

Well maybe it is a problem to find rrreally cute (tall) guys around here.. So please let me know once you find out where to find those guys. I have SO much flirting energy. I have to take it out *sigh*

 
At 3:04 AM, Blogger Temetwir said...

misscosmo shrayech, isnt that a good way to flirt with u to get u to come over to my space and "rest ur case" on the 'discrediting love' thing?

and btw regarding u description of flirting with someone doing his job, i think thats just being decent and polite .. how do i reckon that?
well, u can do the exact opposite to that, but there isnt really an-exact-opposite to flirting..
so yeah, it all works out i guess

Oh Miss Cosmo i see your into the Bollywood guys hehe - Interesting! :p

 
At 4:51 AM, Blogger Baroque said...

hehe so u're a flirt ha?
;p~
wala mantay hayna miss ck!
;)
bs i guess its normal, every girl flirts once in a while..

i believe a woman is equipped with 3 weapons she can use against men.. hehe ;P

1)tears
2)flirting
3) acting helpless

you can get anything u want with those 3 ;P~

Hugh Grant? I used to think he was cute but then I grew up and I realized that I like men with hair on their chest ;p

And if you happen to find where such guys exist let me know. As they say sharing is caring ;p

 
At 10:53 AM, Blogger MissCosmoKuwait said...

unknown entity...the way I see it...being an unintentional flirt is your fastest way to becoming and INtentional flirt...all you got to do is practice..practice..practice..which ofcourse makes perrrfect...:)...now to find our guinea pigs is the question...oh well...maybe I'll end up at some coffee shop down 40 and we'll just happen to be there..:)

Samboose...absolutely...good old fashioned flirting as you put it..is like good old fashioned machboose..you can never get enough..:)

jewaira...aren't they all just hunks...I tend to believe that you'd leave us in the dust when it comes to your flirting skills...;)

Paps...we really oughta get together girl...if not to find the cute guys..at least we can both waste our flirting energy on waiters...LOL!

temetwir...hey if it wasn't for your flirting skills in the blog world...I'd probably be a lot more frustrated...LOL...and in regards to the opposite of flirting...must you always add polarity to everything?! Yeeesh!..:)

jan6a...bollywood...shmollywood..you gotta admit they're cute! :)

Charisma baby...show me a pisces that doesn't have the three weapons you mentioned...now just 'coz you and I are pisces...don't be too sure the rest do...;)

Illusion...I know...I was a bit reluctant on Hugh too..but remembering him in Four Weddings and a Funeral..I just couldn't resist...Sharing honey is definately caring...but unless there's a big stadium with all these hunks around..I don't think I'd announce it in the blog world..it'll be a stampeed!!!

Mcarabian...so the guys consider you like one of their buddies...hey..that's considered subtle flirting..of the most sensual kind...even if you don't see it that way..:)...

hehe ok.. a sister flirting with her brother, or a daughter with her father??? that has a name, its called LUST !! ;p im sorry but that was sick.. i know what u meant tho im just playin with u..

as for wanting a good looking man?? oh and 2 flirt with? hehe.. i cant believe u r having trouble finding that !! lets see where u can start.. well, im not as good looking as hugh grant, but i am good looking period (being modest ;p ) and i like 2 flirt too.. hmmm.. oh but wait!! i aint a ginea pig .. ;pp

if u have the guts 2 go up 2 a man here in kuwait and start flirting, woman i have 2 say i respect that.. its always us men who have 2 approach the woman!! and im so sick of that crap.. why do we have 2 start everything? make the first move 2 kiss a girl, propose for marriage, whatever u name it we gotta do it first!!

women r equal right? so do somethin about it !! ;)

nice post btw, enjoyed reading it..

 
At 2:17 PM, Blogger Dr.Lost said...

delicately realistic: if i were 2 be friendly like that with women here in kuwait, they would think im just trying 2 hook up with them, so no i wouldnt go up 2 a woman i dont know and just talk and flirt with her, becoz she'd probably be 2 close minded 2 understand that im just creating conversation !!

oh misscosmo: the policeman u're talkin about..isnt that the dude that stands on damascus street? the guy with the cop motorbike?

 
At 2:20 PM, Blogger Dr.Lost said...

oh and i so agree with unknown entity, that stuff aint considered flirting, its being a nice human being, with a white heart.. yet it is a rare quality 2 find these days.. since many women here in kuwait r snobby 2 even consider saying hello to the poor phillipino waiter.. glad u're not one of them, gotta say i highly respect u girls.. sorry for commenting three times but my attention span is like 3 seconds and im so sleepy :(

 
At 3:21 PM, Blogger Nooni said...

oh misscosmo you can't believe it!!!
WALLA WALLA WALLLLLA not.
the maximum is a smile

Dr. Lost...

(1) so you're good looking huh? and a Doctor too..how tempting..:)..So from all the pics on the post..who would you think you most look like?..:)

(2) the last time I approached a man..his ego took over him and he ruined the experience...his arrogance totally turned me off so in this case..I'm actually looking for quality not quantity if you know what I mean...i.e. the guinea pigs are out there but not every pig is like another...ooohh..that sounded awful!..sorry..Hopefully you know what I mean!..:)

(3)No our policemen stands on a roundabout...not on Damascus street

(4)So glad to hear you appreciate women who are nice to the waiters...shows you're a cool guy...some guys find that beneath them and would take it as an insult or worse be threatened by it!

(5) Hope you slept well..:)

Judyooo...I have to see you in a real live situation to believe you girl!..or else we'll have to conduct a serious training session for you..pronto!...:)

Don't waste your time in Kuwait, go to Italy or better yet to Lebanon where men know how to treat a woman ;)

 
At 3:42 AM, Blogger Delicately Realistic said...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Cosmo a7ibiccccccccccch!
Yes I love the policeman at the round about too! I ALWAYS say hi!
Ain't he just the greatest?!
And he's always smiling mashAllah!

*Shout out to MrPoliceman*
GO GO GO GO!

 
At 4:32 AM, Blogger Dr.Lost said...

miss cosmo: honestly?? i dont look like any of them.. u put up a limited number of pics woman !!

and i hope u meant im a special kinda pig ;p or else i did misunderstand ;pp

and i slept like 10 hours !! thank god no work on thursdays pur moi !

 
At 4:36 AM, Blogger Dr.Lost said...

miss cosmo: i didnt c a comment from u on my last 2 posts !!

ayya: im sorry, but i dont know who ur friends r, but my friends DO know how 2 treat a woman.. so u dont really need 2 go 2 lebanon, u just need 2 meet the right people.. hope that sounded ok, i just got offended a little..

 
At 8:15 AM, Blogger MissCosmoKuwait said...

Ayya...now Italy is a place I've been desperately trying to get to...I hear flirting is all they do...what a town!

DR habeebti...a7ibich too...my favorite 7ajiya..:)...7elwa hatha shout out...eshrayej...we start a trend where everybody has to "honk if you love our policemen"...hehehe...ya3nee nafs el aflam...:)

Dr. Lost..Nawm el 3awafee....and yes...I meant that you're a special pig...;)...SO since you think I put a limited number of pics...here's an idea...how about you tell me who from the celebtrities in Kuwait that you may look like...i.e. Abdul7ussein Abdulredha....Khaled Al-Nifisi...Ali al Mufeedee...pick any celebrity that resebles you...any clue as to what you look like would help...;)

 
At 9:03 AM, Blogger Dr.Lost said...

im darned happy 2 say that i dont look like any kuwaiti celebrity.. im sorry but they are ALL ugly !!
i hope u dont start thinkin im some brad pitt..

lets just say i dont look kuwaiti.. not that its a good thing nor a bad one.. i've mentioned this before on someone's post that some ppl thought i was lebanese, others thought turkish, i was spoken to in hebrew in new york (thinkin that i was israeli), some thought i was italian (obviously when i was in italy ), i dont think i have a look alike.. actually a friend of mine said i look like an american actor, i forgot whom, ill call her up and ask her again ! ;)

 
At 12:09 PM, Blogger MissCosmoKuwait said...

Dr. Lost...so have you called her or what? Curiosity is getting the better of me..:)

At 3:39 PM, Blogger Nooni said...

Naah he sould show us his real picture mo acters! this is nto fair!

 
At 9:20 PM, Blogger MissCosmoKuwait said...

Blossom...thanks girl...appreciate the support!

kuwaitigirl...Definately..totally agree! wenta wainich hal ayam?!

a3sab...actually..it's more necessary for married women....they're the ones that need to feel good about themselves more than the single girls since they're under pressure the most...sa7?

judyooo....you're right!...let's see if he does...:)
