This didn't just make me happy, it made me cry happy tears (and pray):
I have a half-barrel planter in front of my house, and a mama bunny put a nest in it before I could get to it this year to weed it and transplant some of my volunteer snow-on-the-mountain into it
RIGHT after she made her nest (which meant she'd had her baby) it started raining, and it rained like mad for weeks, and I watched to try and see her visiting the nest. They only visit once every 24h, so I caught sight of her only a few times. I was terrified that the rain had been too heavy for the barrel to drain fast enough.
Well, bunnies leave the nest at 3 weeks. So I waited a bit extra and went out today to weed the barrel and do the transplanting, thinking that if they had not survived I'd leave them in peace but make a nice memorial garden for them...
... there was a teeny tiny brown baby bunny watching me from under my lilac bush, with Mama Bunny close by (Mama has large eyes and a white stripe on each back leg; she's recognizable)...
I held my breath and said a prayer and found an empty nest. SO relieved, I literally cried, because I thought for sure the rains had been too much.
This isn't a picture of my li'l darlin's, but it'll do:
Although the baby is much younger and looks more like this:
I know nature is red in tooth and claw and all that rot, but I'd rather she do that stuff somewhere else, and leave my darlin's alone.

Now, the question is, did you flirt back?

No such thing as "trying to flirt". If you noticed, then he / she was successfully flirting.
Take a walk in your shiny shoes!
