Ask Ms. Behavin’
Ms. Behavin’ gets so many sassy, sexy questions that she’s decided to share her views–and her Q&A’s–here on the blog.
Dear Ms. Behavin’,I’ve been told more than once that my heroes, whom I’m trying to make redeemable bad boys, are “unsavory.” How can I make my heroes edgy and sexy, but likable too?
Signed,
Unsavory no moreDear Unsavory No More,
Ooooh, I love me a bad boy! Nothing sexier than that untameable wild child with a leather fetish. But redeemable IS important, because too much of a bad thing can be a total turn-off. My advice? Give him a soft spot. It could be his love for his gramma, a tattoo of the puppy he loved as a kid and has never gotten over, or that he secretly donates his time or money to some worthy cause. Anything that makes us go “awwwwww” will go a long way to understanding why the heroine is savoring his sweet self.
XOXO~
Ms. Behavin’Dear Ms. Behavin’,
My boyfriend gets jealous when I flirt. I want to tell him to just “GET OVER IT,” because it’s in my DNA. He’s true blue to me, so there’s no tit-for-tat. What have I got to lose?
—Always Battin’ My EyesDear Battin’
What have you got to lose? Only your guy. If thats not a biggie, flirt away! If he’s a keeper that you’d miss warming your toes, you might want to consider his feelings a little and practice your heaviest flirting on him. Nothing strokes a guy’s… um, ego shall we say? more than his gal’s undivided attention.
XOXO~
Ms. Behavin’Dear Ms. Behavin’,
Is it okay to wear my favorite lucky do me heels to lunch with my boss?

Fashion DivaDear Diva,
That all depends on what kind of raise you’re trying to get from your boss… if ya know what I mean?
XOXO~
Ms. Behavin’

Ms. Behavin’, thank you for the sage advice. I agree with you on the flirting thing and redeeming the bad boys. You are obviously a woman of the world!
But really, do me heels at lunch with the boss? I think that girl will need to find a new job if her lunch is as…er…productive as she hopes! Most careers can’t survive that sort of scandal.
Of course, if it isn’t that great a job and the boss is a hottie, why not? There are always other jobs. *g*
This is a great column and I do hope Tawny let’s you come and play often!

Dear Ms. Behavin’,
That was super advice you gave to Always Battin’ — I lost the love of my life once when I took my flirting habit too far. Any red-blooded male will only stand for so much of that behavior before he either walks away or pops the other guy.
Sadly, my fellow’s doing three to five in Folsom, but I visit him every week. Here’s hoping Battin’ learns her lesson before it’s too late.

Ms. Behavin’, loved your advice today! I couldn’t agree with you more on redeeming bad boys! I love a bad boy with a good heart *g*
Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us

I agree with the soft spot for the bad boy…love ‘em bad, but I enjoy it when they show a different side of themselves and agree that it makes them likeable.
July 23rd, 2008 @ 4:26 pm
Caren, you’re obviously a gal I’d like to hang out with! I like your ideas of where that lunch might go… and why drag yourself out of bed to work if the view isn’t hot, right?

Ms. Taken,
You poor thing, you. Settling for 3-5 of conjugal visits is a stiff price to pay for playing the flirting game. But it just goes to show, guys are a territorial animal.

Beth & Jennifer - you both obviously have awesome taste. A bad boy is a yummy treat, hmmm? Especially when he shows that sweet side.
July 23rd, 2008 @ 11:32 pm
Sigh. Are you saying I am no longer allowed to bat my eyelashes because he’s jealous? Well, I only have one thing to say to that:
NEXT.
July 23rd, 2008 @ 11:36 pm
Jana! A gal after my own naughty heart. Don’t forget, there is batting, then there’s the finger-walk up the chest with a flutter of the lashes. Methinks you’d be an expert at the latter. And like you say - if you’re a flirt and he has issue with it… this isn’t a fovever and ever type relationship.

Ohhhh yeah, gotta love those bad guys. The ones momma warned you about.
