Below is an old column that ran a few years ago on flirting. If anything, things are worse today. How can I flirt if half the other person’s face is covered with a mask? Is she smiling? Is she sneering? Does she have her lawyer on speed-dial and will she say my innocent words frightened her and caused her great physiological damage that only money can cure? Will I spend my few remaining years in “MeToo prison”? Screw it. The world has changed and I will never flirt again. THE
