I think marriage without the children may be a very happy partnership for friends with deep common interests, but may feel a little empty over time. I think most people would agree that getting married to have a family is extremely important for the psychological stability of children. They need strong role models. This world definitely needs more strong, stable, children that can take a lead into the future.
If you want either of these situations, partner/friend or wife/mother to fill your life, you have to learn to meet people, and the best way is to flirt. Everyone has their own concept of what flirting is, but basically it is the primary tool for meeting people, and it is as uplifting for the person doing the flirting as it is for the subject of the flirts.
Flirting without being aggressive reflects positive vibes that build your confidence by making you feel good. You feel good because the people you meet smile back and make I contact. It makes you comfortable starting a conversation. Most importantly, it gives more opportunities to meet people who may be potential partners.
So ditch the phone deep in your pocket. Be aware of the people around you. Smile, make eye contact with everyone you meet and use a person’s name when ever you can. You will get better with practice. You will enjoy everyday life more and surely meet a warm, friendly partner.
