Being a married mom responsible for a clan of little humans brings its fair share of excitement and challenges. However, add flirtation into the mix, and things can get downright perplexing. I’d like to share the comical experiences of a married mom trying to make sense of those bewildering moments of attention from the opposite sex.

So I’m at the grocery store, intently focused on my shopping list, when suddenly a man appears out of nowhere. He approaches me with a seemingly innocent question about where to find certain items. Oblivious to his intentions, I eagerly step into my role as a helpful guide, determined to assist him. Little did I know that his innocent inquiry was merely a clever ploy to strike up a conversation. As the realization dawns on me, I can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. Who knew grocery shopping could turn into a potential flirting zone?

Another day, another unexpected encounter. I’m sitting in my car waiting for my son to finish swimming lessons, engrossed in a phone conversation with my brother. Out of the blue, a man approaches my window, claiming that I look familiar. Naturally, I rack my brain, trying to recall where we might have crossed paths. Is it a long-lost school friend? A fellow soccer parent? Nope. It turns out to be nothing more than a well-rehearsed pick-up line. With a sheepish smile, he finally gets to the point and asks for my number. Oh, so clever! In that moment, I can’t help but grin at the sheer absurdity of the situation.

These hilarious encounters leave me pondering the complexities of flirtation as a married mom. Should I be friendly but subtly signal that I’m happily taken? Would a well-practiced “resting bitch face” ward off unwanted attention? Or maybe the best strategy is to pretend not to notice, even if I’m met with a charming smile that melts my heart. The possibilities are endless, and the confusion is real.

ILife is too short to take it all too seriously. These encounters remind me that even in the midst of motherhood and marriage, there’s still room for amusement and a touch of the unexpected. So, to all those men who craft clever lines and create memorable moments, I say thank you for the laughter and the reminder that life is filled with surprises.

So, fellow wives, keep rocking that wedding ring and carry on with your little people by your side. After all, in the game of flirtation, laughter is our secret weapon, and we’ll continue to shine with a “I guess I’ve still got it!” attitude.
