How would one know if they are being seduced?
How does one know if they are being seduced?
In a society where bold assumptions are passed as compliments
If one should graze a hand subtly, not in dominance but to show interest. Is that seduction?
When a glance of innocence lingers longer than necessary, is that seduction?
What would seduction be today?
There are no longer handwritten notes shared between the sender and the receiver, to covet and be hidden in intimate things.
Flowers can be sent but can be misconstrued to mean a number of things.
How would I know if seduction is underfoot?
When would it be appropriate to signal that it is time to speak alone?
When a word is said strategically chaste to misdirect the idle passerby but is meant something completely opposite
To give without expectation
To receive with honor
Casanova has long left the living, and his lessons have dissipated into the wind.
I guess I shall never know if I am being seduced or if I am another number in the long line of numbers with no value.

You have touched a very touchy subject. In this time and age it’s getting more and more difficult to know when you’re being seduced or hit upon…. I have been a student of seduction for years… and I still know nothing…

We may have to return to a before chivalry was even a concept. We may have to return to a time before the great players of yesteryears, such as the Casanovas, Don Juans, Walter Raleighs, and even Cyrano De Bergeracs. Somany things has happened to change humans meeting, courting, and deciding compatibility. We're not talking women lib crap, or women exiting the kitchen and entering the workforce. We're speaking more along the lines of how we meet, dating apps and the lies they hold. There were historical periods whereas sex was rampant, and it seems there is a battle to out do those times. Our values changed over a certain period and big mommas didn't pass down the good stuff. It was simpler to meet you at the club and to tell you to go for it yourself. How can you tell if you're being seduce is seduction a lost art one that has to be recreated. Tight write lady

WOW! Casanova. Haven't heard that word in a while. At work, we'd often refer to these types as 'bloodhounds' lol. So, back to the original question... how do you know when you are being seduced? Simply put, you feel it, that vibe, I would say.

I bet the mind is over emotion, on which we judge, ''sieve'' the good from the bad,
then feelings will surely abide by the brain's law. and decisions are wise and calculated..

Great question. As for me, love me some being seduced; the opposite of seduced is being "reduced." Great write as usual. xoxo, Oral

This is a great question & one I'd never be able to answer for myself. I'm oblivious if anyone even flirts with me because I find it so improbable. So many cues we can misinterpret in interactions. It's a complete mystery to me
