Dearest Pooh,

As any good Tigger knows, being a flirt is almost as fun as being
a Tigger and half the fun of bouncing like a Tigger is that it
prepares you for bouncing from girl to girl (or boy to boy) confusing
and confounding them all until no one knows what or who feels anything
anymore and all are bedazzled by the stripes flying by, and amidst the
confusion you sneak in a little peck on someone's lips and it all
becomes crystal clear like the sky on a summer day as the birds 
sing and the sun shines and somewhere in your heart you feel a little
butterfly dancing and it's all you can do to keep from exploding from
joy when you are near to that person.

In other words - I haven't the foggiest idea how to let someone know
the difference between me being my normal bouncy self and me really
being interested. And too often, people have mistaken the former for
the latter. Also, in one case, a girl I ended up dating figured out
the former and said - "nah - couldn't be" to the latter.

But I think if you end up spending a lot of time with someone and
you want things to be more, you (if you are a guy or a girl) have to
make things happen. You have to take a risk that exposes your
feelings and hope that the other person feels the same way - or at
least is willing to try. If you just want to remain friends, you
just keep your hands and your lips to yourself and hope and pray
that the other person feels the same. :)

flirtatiously yours,

Tigger
