Flirting isn't professional when it's at an after hours party? How else should one signal that they're available and interested?

Signalling such things is, in fact, not professional. Of course, neither are most after-hours parties...

By definition, after hours parties are not professional. That's why they're after hours and parties.

If women can't flirt in those environs, we're doomed as a species. Unless you want to go trolling at dance clubs?

Definitely. Were you under the impression that I was saying otherwise?

She's married, I don't think her flirting was intended as a sign of availability.

Only married in the "divorce proceedings take a while" sense.

To be clear, Mackenzie, are you saying that you know Noirin personally, and that it's public knowledge that she's in the process of getting a divorce, and [edited] also that she really is looking for a new partner?

She posted it on her blog.

I am happy to see that Mackenzie's comment has been voted up from -1 to 3 now.
