Part 1 – WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

We’re flirtin’ with disaster, ya’ll know what I mean 
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me 
I don’t know about yourself or what you wanna to be, yeah 
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny…(Molly Hatchet, 1979)

Thus began one of the more popular Southern Rock songs by Molly Hatchet. It is pretty interesting that the first line of that song ends with “ya’all know what I mean”! No we don’t! What do you mean? This is the issue with Flirting, whether it’s with disaster or destiny! We know where it could lead – DISASTER! Before we go any further, let’s define what flirting is.

Webster’s Dictionary says it is “moving erratically; behaving amorously without serious intent and showing superficial or casual interest or liking ( i.e. flirted with the idea ). It can also mean “experimenting and/or to coming close to reaching or experiencing something —used with with “flirting with disaster“!

At some point in our lives, we have all this. We are liars if we deny this. Most times oft flirting is used in relation to expressing interest with a member of the opposite sex. It can be a superficial or real, but unless you put a stop to it, a person really is “Flirting with Disaster”!
