    sure, if you aren't attached.
    Flirting online is dangerous if you are married, however. I know lots of peeps whose marriage ended over "harmless" flirtations online.

    Complimenting is one thing.
    But flirting, is a BIG no for me!! its kind of in a way of cheating.
    Thats just my personal opinion.

    Why of course not, I mean why would I, A red blooded single male, ever flirt with single women who are my pals who are posing in bras, bikinis, cleavage bearing tops and other revealing attire. Why that would be TABOO! I would never do that!

    totally ok if the person is receptive. it can get creepy if you're pursuing someone who does not want to be pursued.

    i really think married people should stay away from flirting. its not cheating necessarily, but it can lead to to it.

    It is absolutely ok. There's no harm in it whatsoever. Not a thing to worry about.






    Until your partner joins the site. Then delete, delete, delete!!

    I dont see flirting as cheating, as long as lines aren't crossed. A compliment and an innuendo here or there is harmless. A woman who feels otherwise obviously has some insecurity issues. Especially on a site as this one where ppl are from all over and its highly unlikely things will evolve from there

    Honestly- if there is no harm being done, then no. Harm being- it leads to something more then internet flirting.

    I feel the same way (except for assuming that others who don't it like have security issues) and use it to build people in hopes they may see what I see in them and learn to love them selves for everything they are even the bad... Also if I say it to a male friend I will also say it to a female one, if I can't then chances are I won't say it all (heterosexual married female here) :flowerforyou:

    Agreed.

    I flirt with people I know well enough that it's taken in a friendly manner (which is how I intend it).

    Flirting is okay. The only problem is, a lot of guys don't know the difference between flirting and being a douche.

    I don't see any issues with it, not like you can reach through the computer screen and hook up....so until that day comes around, no \m/

    i don't think anyone needs permission to flirt.. flirting is healthy and fun. even if you are in a relationship! to me, flirting is fine while in a relationship as long as you don't take it further. as in - sharing inappropriate photos or having conversations that would need censored if publicized.

    my boyfriend doesn't care if i flirt because he knows i wouldn't act on it. maybe that makes me a tease, though..

    I flirt with guys AND girls on here. I'm just that way though. It's all what you're comfortable with and what the people you're talking to are comfortable with.

    You should probably ask your partner and not random strangers....

    But keep in mind that some folks don't come here to flirt. So, if they ask you to stop, you should. But if they don't mind, enjoy!

    I used to... and I used to thing nothing of it... but as I continue along my journey I have come to believe that there is truly NO flirting that is truly "harmless'. So I am 50/50 on this... it can be fun... and it can cause problems. I absolutely think it depends solely on those involved, however, and that's only for them to decide for themselves.

    Starts off innocently. Pretty soon it' dangerous.

    Flirt with your wife, your husband or your partner.

    THEY ARE REAL.

    Do you feel guilty about it? That's a good indicator. There's no "set" rules, just go by your gut!
