Smirting – a Real Flirting Trend?
When we first heard of “smirting” , we thought “buzzwords the world hasn’t been waiting for”, but having observed the effects of the smoking ban, we have to admit: it’s a real flirting trend.
Walk past any busy Pub in the UK or Ireland on a weekend night and you’ll find groups of smokers, talking, laughing, asking for a light, and of course flirting, to their hearts’ content.
Smokers banned from their local due to the smoking ban obviously feel like partners in crime. In the past, the noise of a loud pub could get in the way of flirting, but while smoke-flirting (smirting), you can actually have a proper conversation.
For shy men and women it can actually be easier to get to know people through smirting than it would be to start flirting in a bar.
Obviously you’re not going to start smoking just to get to know people outside the pub, so here’s the trick: join a friend who is going out for a smoke and you can join in the flirting part of smirting without ruining your health.
