My heavens! I really have to lighten up!
I just made myself all sick and nervous because I froze up when a male friend flirted with me.
It felt too serious for me to flirt back—like I would be leading him on, like I'd have to carry through with whatever I say!
Come on! Flirting is supposed to be fun, right? It isn't supposed to be taken seriously!
Lighten up!
