Flirting

"To me? Flirting is just like a sport."

"I assisted at the birth of that most significant word flirtation, which dropped from the most beautiful mouth in the world, and which has since received the sanction of our most accurate Laureate in one of his comedies."

"Flirtation, attention without intention."

"From a grave thinking mouser, she was grown The gayest flirt that coach'd it round the town."

"Ye belles, and ye flirts, and ye pert little things, Who trip in this frolicsome round, Pray tell me from whence this impertinence springs, The sexes at once to confound?"

"Why does a man take it for granted that a girl who flirts with him wants him to kiss her—when, nine times out of ten, she only wants him to want to kiss her."

"The longer they wait, the better they like it."
