an uncomfortable situation

This morning I caught a man, who I have worked with for years, checking me out. I was stunned and, well, confused as to how to handle it. I pretended not to notice. It was probably the best way to handle it, I guess? But as a Christian, I felt somewhat strange and uck! I don't know how to handle it when men flirt. It actually scares me and want to run for shelter and cry. I 'm not over dramatizing, honest. I really do panic when it happens. I'm pretty modest really, and don't want to come across like a prude, egotistical or something. I had been obese 8+ years, with the self esteem of a worm. And I lack confidence, don't want to go the other extreme, by acting like a total conceited jerk, ya' know. I don't trust my own ego either. I am certain the Lord will protect me from myself, I love my husband very very much, I would never commit adultery, (mentally or physically), and am grateful for the WLS. I guess my question is, how do I stop myself from feeling utter panic when some schmuck is just flirting? And how do I keep from making a mega fool of myself by reading too much into harmless situations? I know, I sound so dumb! I'm so glad you guys are there to read my ramblings. Thanks be to God!!!!
