Then, in the Victorian era, people expressed emotions and interest through their flower selections, each variety having a different hidden meaning. Some of the earliest flirting began in 1797, when Charles Badini created the Original Fanology or Ladies' Conversation Fan in London. It was a sign language of hand fans. Placing the fan over the heart meant 'I love you" and opening the fan wide meant 'wait for me" Both men & women carried fans to balls. After WWII, the art of flirting evolved to more direct and open exchanges.
Flirting is meant to be harmless and fun, but it can open the door to more serious relationships as well. Did you know that flirting is also recognized as a universal human behavior? It happens regardless of culture.
The word 'flirt" is French and means to try to seduce by dropping flower petals.
