Embracing Fetchings

When such foolish friendships are carried on between persons of different sexes without any view of marriage, they are called flirtations. They can be called neither friendship nor love because of their excessive vacuity and imperfection. Some have no other aim than to satisfy their hearts with loving and being loved so follow along their amorous inclination. Others allow themselves to be carried into this folly by vanity, esteeming at no small glory to catch and bind hearts by love.
