About the name AFlirtYourself

The name AFlirtYourself comes from the phrase ‘Assert Yourself ‘.  But instead of Assert I added an element of flirting and called it AFlirtYourself.  I know it is kind of long and kind of cryptic, but I came up with it in a hurry when I wanted to try out this new site called Twitter. The first two or three names I thought up were taken.  When AFlirtYourself got accepted, I went with it.

At that time I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted AFlirtYourself to be, except I hoped I could do something to encourage fostering relationships in the real world. Most people I tweeted with had one or two hundred followers. I thought if I worked hard and delivered quality tweets, I could maybe get as many as five hundred followers. Given enough time and work, who knows.  Maybe even a thousand followers could be possible.

At last count, @AFlirtYourself had over 34,000 followers.  I never cease to be amazed and honored at that.  And, of course, the responsibility not to waste their time weighs heavy on me.

It has been a lot of work (you wouldn’t believe just how much work it has been), but it has also been fun and gratifying.

AFlirtYourself.  It may be a strange, cryptic name, but I’m keeping it.
