I'll note one thing. Don't start flirting with just anyone. You may find that your 'new you' attitude is looking for a guy to flirt with and date. You may jump on the first boat that floats by. However, you also may not look carefully into what is needed in terms of the person you flirt with - seeing their true self. Are they a great person or is your desire to flirt and land a potential boyfriend spreading the fishing net too widely? In business terms - sometimes we say "it's a solution looking for a problem."

Be careful - as someone with a new "skill" is always looking for a problem to solve with it. Tread carefully and look for potential mates who would be good friends first (in my opinion) rather than a "boyfriend".

In high school I was so "eager" to date. Never did. In college, friends introduced me to various girls and I was not filtering and just going for it. Things I didn't learn from my mother (raised only-child by an older mom) were social skills and ability to read people - she was kind of a hermit herself and didn't teach me much. So, any girl was fine with me whether mean-spirited, too young, too old, etc. I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else and I learned a lot - but I will say that I had some events in my life I would surely want to not experience again and definitely wouldn't with the "brain I have now".
