I have a question since God's ideal was for the man to find a wife. Men of God how do U feel when a Woman of God flirts with U 1st? I see in so many profile where the man is looking for the woman to send a message 1st. I guess I just prefer for the Man to show interest in me 1st. Since we live in the 20th century has things changed?

And please excuse my flagrant misuse of the 'there' and 'their' words in that last post.... It's four a.m. and I couldn't sleep... but I DO know how to use them in the right way... Can't believe I did that....:ROFL:

I guess I've never thought about this. I've also never understood how to flirt. If it's batting the eyelashes or doing the little giggle, I just don't have it in me. Usually when I write someone on this site, I say more than "hi." If I write to someone it's because I see something in their profile that I want more information on - whether it be finding out where a picture was taken or getting their opinion on how to do something that I see from their profile that they know how to do. It doesn't even necessarily mean I'm interested in pursuing a relationship - I certainly wouldn't know that until we had communicated more than the first few emails.



I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just remember not to go by looks, but by what's in their profile - what have they written about themselves and is there any reason you would actually want to write them? If so, it won't be hard to come up with something to say. :)

Personally I don't mind the occasional wink, or a few words of encouragement, but I like to do the chasing.



Just my opinion,

Leon

dear folks,, i imagine womenfolks been flirtin with men for a long long time.. i remember seeing about a time when women used to drop a hanky for the man to have to pick up and hand back to her so he d take notice of her.. nothin wrong with a little modest flirting at first.. but as for pursuing im old school and believe the man should be the one takin the lead on that..





as for ruth and boaz.. as we can see in the scriptures here that boaz when they first met that he had taken ruth and made her special and taken her under his own wing so to speak..and told her so..



8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, "You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn."

10 So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"

This is one story that would be very interesting to get a much more detailed story instead of the short version. As you point out, he was very protective of her and she probably did take that as possible romantic interest.

It does make a very interesting point who made the first romantic move?

It is a good question you ask.



For many men we have a tendency to prefer being the one who pursues the woman. "Sometimes" when a woman pursues a man it may be perceived as a woman who may be desperate or needy. While men do appreciate a woman who is assertive in certain respects, we do generally prefer to be the hunter and not the hunted. LOL But also we do greatly appreciate a woman who is "responsive" to our efforts of pursuit. If a woman is not interested we do appreciate a courteous reply regardless.



Blessings!

Walter

I usually take the initiative as I think that is the mindset of the society we live in. But I do like the way Ruth did it. Girls, take action!!
