You might be a professional flirt, but when you are in love, you can't recognize that your crush is flirting with you...!!!
So lets start, what exactly is love? Well the famous wikipedia defines it as follows: Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment.
After spending some time on the Internet, I got myself a nice definition. Here is it: Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
And what exactly is flirting? Again taking the wikipedia's help, we have the following: Flirting is a common form of social interaction whereby one person obliquely indicates a romantic or sexual interest towards another. It can consist of conversation, body language, or brief physical contact. It may be one-sided or reciprocated (encouraged) with intentions of getting to know that person on a higher level.
And after spending hours on the Internet I couldn't get a nice definition of flirting...
But in these times it is true that people are turning professional flirts and keeping more partners online and quite often engaging in cyber sex. (For more information search wikipedia) Decades these used to phone sex. People used to have extra martial affairs and call girls used to be available... With the changing times the mindset of people changed. Now-a-days people think five times before approaching a girl in real life (and that if they would be making a fool of themselves) than sending a friend request in the various social networking sites. Life has turned virtual in the digital age.
These online relationships are usually more of flirting than relationships. There are even people who think twice before calling a girl they met online. People these days have become well-versed in flirting because of the daily and constant practice through online IM chat (Instant Messaging) or via SMS and phone calls whose rates have dropped faster than the clothes of female film stars.
In this way love has lost its meaning. It is so easy to find a new partner online that people fall for a new girl/boy almost everyday. But tru love does not happen everyday. I also recently found an application in facebook called "Lover of the Day" or something. An application like "Friend of the Day" is good but the former is aimed to destroy the meaning of love....
To conclude I can say that "A lover a day keeps love away".... and also "A friend a day keeps enemies away".....
