Interesting thoughts, re: FLIRTING. Thinking about it just now, I can honestly say that I miss that the MOST. More than the sex, more than the kissing, more than the backscratches.

Nothing says "I want you" more than flirting. Sex can be faked; mercy sex. Kisses can even be offered begrudingly. But when the person who means more to you than anyone else in the world consciously FLIRTS with you, well . . . all is Right in the Universe.
