Flirting with danger - an article in The Sunday Times

Sumiko Tan wrote an article in The Sunday Times today titled "Flirting with danger". It is about harmless flirting that happens as part of human interaction, as well as how to watch for signs that the harmless flirting may be heading towards dangerous waters.

As I was reading it, I can't help but wonder if the article was written because of something happening in her life recently. After all, her old crush from school days met up with her, and continued to contact her when he returned to England after that. Is this a subtle (albeit public) way of telling him that he needs to watch his limits? Or a way to alert herself to catch hold of herself before she plunges into the deep?

I guess we all have our share of old crushes and exs, it all remains to yourself that when you look back and remember the good old times, you should also ask yourself why things didn't work out. It will probably save you some trouble in finding out again.

Of course, flirting around does add favour to the day, no harm to that ("coffee, tea or me?"). Just don't get carried away.
