I’m impressed by your recount of your school flirting days – lol

In particular regarding the recognition of a ‘game’ and the awareness of rules etc.

For my part, during those early years I found that I would be routinely infatuated with some very pretty girl for ages, with no means of connection apparent, and would make no attempt to connect out of shyness, while at the same time talking easily and engaging with girls I shared some interest with like the guitar club the school orchestra etc, not even being aware that I was 50% already there for developing a relationship with.

And even now I look back and think I may have got my priorities back to front, and If I could pass on some wisdom to younger people it would be to look at everyone you know and give them some thought and get to know them as much as possible in a way that’s comfortable to both, and not be a slave to your libido as friendship is the best relationship in the world.
