What is the way to reconcile the desire to flirt with women and the fear of Allah?

Allah is Forgiving and Merciful, no matter how great the sin. The one who repents must distance himself from places where men mix with unveiled women. Marriage or polygyny is recommended, along with striving against oneself and patience, for (And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good) [Al-Ankabut: 69]. Paradise is surrounded by hardships and Hellfire by desires. Reading Surat Yusuf is advised.
