What is Sanskrit for “Flirting”: A Six Sentence Story

Published by

on

Jack walked into the yoga studio and rolled out his mat.

The room was dark, and from the previous Hot Yoga class, it was still warm and a little humid.

“There’s the troublemaker,” Mary said, winking at him while she was in a table pose.

Jack smiled and teased back, “I see you didn’t double-park your mat this morning, good girl! “

This is the closest thing to flirting Jack has had, given, or received in over 35 years, and he likes the attention so much that, in their conversations, he conveniently never mentions to Mary that he is married.

You could call the old man a Downward Facing Dawg!

    Hopefully Mary isn’t married either. Nice tale.

    Contrary to most beliefs, I think that a little flirt is not bad especially in that age. Because flirt doesn’t always mean something is going to go down. And this was perhaps the type to just make him feel good a little.

    However, it bothers me he did not say he is married, or that in marriage that was the closest thing to a flirt inl 35 years….

    Hmm I think I got overly invested in the story…

    that last line did make me smile though 😂.

    He needs to flirt with his wife, she might flirt back and he’d find the spark at home again.
