Last Night

Last night I went to hear PM preach. I also went to hang out with him, but mainly because if I'm gonna flirt with a preacher, he should definitely be a good one. He is. So this post is purely to boast of PM's amazingness. So I get to his church with about 30 mins to kill before he has to go to band practice.(He's pretty awesome at the drums) So when we take a tour of his youth building, I kinda wanted to steal their fooseball and air hockey tables. My church may be bigger but his is definitely cooler.
So skip ahead about 2 hours to when church begins. PM gets up and boom, his voice changes. Like for real, he has his own preacher voice, and it captivates you. So I'm listening as he speaks on God and lightness and darkness and I'm taking actually notes. Like pen and paper notes, which is rare for me. So as he is preaching, I feel the Holy Spirit in the room and I know God is just moving through him. It's amazing to watch him. It's almost like meeting a whole new person. Anyway, since this is a blog about flirting I leave you with these words of wisdom. I found this question on the Daily Odd Compliments website and thought, this is how all relationships go whether with men of God or not. Laters.

 I want to ask you: how would you suggest an evolution from the friend zone? I'm 21 and dang it, I think I'd like some of this silly happiness you're spreading.

Flirt and see where it takes you. But don’t come on too strong. Let it build. That’s the only thing that works. Talking about your feelings will just make things awkward. At the end of the day, it’s all about reading people. So when you’re flirting, be on the lookout for certain looks and smiles. Hold an eye-lock for a little longer than you normally would and see if he holds it with you. Eyes and hands tell you more about someones intentions and feelings than words. And if you’re not getting that vibe, it’s not going to happen. Plain and simple.

Tease :p

So I feel like that may this blog should have been named something entirely different. Like How to be a Flirtatious woman in Christ. You see, I've been having so many revelations about being a woman in Christ that the man isn't important just yet. It would also be because Preacher Man is a very busy being a preacher that I feel only slightly alone. But I think I'll wait a while before I make any sudden movements.

So as I said, PM is a very busy man, but our friendship has progressed to where we tease each other and call each other names. This is a very common flirt practice in Christian flirting because we aren't supposed to be a tease sexually. You know that whole saving it before marriage gets harder if you're a tease before hand. Anywho, PM has this fascination with THE butt, like not butt, but THE butt and he has made me see that it is way funnier to say The Butt instead of just Butt. So, his name calling involves the butt or dookie....and I laugh every time I see or hear him say it. Me, I tend to stick to the traditional nerd, dork, or lame-o. I did call him Jolly Green Giant but I see that as a compliment.

Now teasing, in my humble opinion, lets me know you care enough to fight. You call me a name, it means you are trying to find what actually hurts my feelings. Dookie butt is one of those that won't...ever. It will make me laugh and as we all know, I love to laugh.

So I know I try to tie in some part of the Bible that shows approval of the above flirting style, but the only thing close to teasing is provoke or taunt. Both are mentioned as things to not do, but my theory is that there is a line that teasing crosses over to get to provoking. So be mindful not to cross it or even come near it.
