Mamaw's Flirting 101

This is a post from my old blog which is giving me a hard time recently so I'm just transferring the little things I like over to this one!  Hope you enjoy! This one cracks me up....

I was on the phone yesterday with my Mamaw and she decided to give me flirting tips so i can get married and pop out some grandbabies for her. I couldn’t help but laugh as she proceeded to tell me "how to get a man."  I'm thinkin' she should write a book!  She even demonstrated how the conversation should go! I made sure to take mental notes of the convo through my laughter. I couldn't really write much at the time as I was having trouble breathing.  :o)


1. “You have to get out there and sell yourself. Have you ever heard of that honey?”  No, she wasn’t recommending prostitution. She was basically saying that I should not go out without my makeup on and that I need to always look presentable in order “to get a guy.” She told me that I need to always look nice to get the right attention. Dude! That means no more Aeropostale sweat pants!?  What the french toast?!

2. “You can ask him what he’s been up to and when he says… blah blah…. then you say well, I do that too… why don’t we do that together?”  lol!  My Mamaw was actually giving me vocabulary to use for the conversation that I should be having with my future husband.

3. “You can’t be shy honey, just go talk to the guys, get out there and mingle. I know you’re shy when it comes to boys, you always have been.” Ok... so apparently she knows me better than I thought. Great. I am shy when it comes to guys, especially if I really like them, then it’s worse. I usually clam up and say the wrong thing. Ok… so she has a point.

4. “Are you getting out more and being sociable and getting to know new people?” To this, I honestly answered yes! I am sociable. I get out a lot and do things with friends and meet new people. I still struggle with being a little shy. Oh well.

5. “Do you talk to any of the guys you know? How often are you around them?”  Nope don't talk to them at all, Mamaw.  I just stalk them like prey!  {kidding}  I’m around them enough. I truly believe in chivalry and that a man should do the pursuing. If a guy is interested, he just needs to say something.  My Mamaw apparently thinks this slows down the process.

6. “I know you’re not in a hurry, you don’t want just anybody and that’s good. You’ll pick a good one and he’ll be lucky to have you.”

“Thanks Mamaw.”
