    8 pages and still no outline to what is flirting and what is considered complementing...
    I am coming to the conclusion that the line between them is so thin it can only exist in statements such as the ones made here. But to actually state what the differences are is very difficult.

    Conclusion I don't care if what I do is called flirting or complementing I am me and I love me :smooched: I :heart: all my MFP pals too!!!

    I believe you have no outline as it's left in the eye of the beholder...

    I think "Hey you, wanna fluck?" is a complement. You may not...

    Let me be the first to compliment you! :wink:

    You always compliment me, Carl :) *smooches*

    I don't see flirting as cheating, especially on the net. Its really up to the couple to decide what they tolerate or not. Honestly if a marriage falls apart over flirting I think there were other issues to begin with.

    You had me at asphyxiation... LOL!

    How rude...

    You had me at *kitten*.

    And on Tuesday.

    Possibly on Wednesday as well.

    Have we effectively demonstrated flirting on the internet yet? Or do I need to flash you my boobs now?

    If you're single, by all means, flirt away and say all the naughty things you want to each other. If you're married, or have a significant other, I consider that a huge NO and suggest to just stay away from it. Not that it would lead to anything directly, but I'm a firm believer that when you allow that door to be cracked open and you are in a monogomous relationship, it is just a path to more things that you would consider doing in the future. I've been married for 3 years/together for 8 years and I would never do anything behind my hubby's back that, a. I couldn't fully fill him in on, and b. it would hurt him or make him uncomfortable/resentful in any way.

    I think it is ok as long as you don't hurt people or go past certain lines. I like commenting on hot pics of women. I like it when they comment on me. If flirting leads to something more then I am receptive to that too! Live Life and have fun!

    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.

    its only kind of a way of cheating IF you are in a relationship obviously..other than that, why not..seems harmless

    Flirting's harmless. If people are attached and it goes further, then there's a problem.

    I love to flirt.
    I was a big flirt before I met my husband.
    I flirted with my husband when we met.
    He obviously liked it a lot because he asked me to marry him.
    And ya know what? I still flirt.
    And do you know why? Because I am me and I love to flirt.
    Does my husband know I flirt? How could he not? It's part of who I am. It's part of who he fell in love with.
    Does my husband flirt? Absolutely. Hell, I even flirt with those that HE flirts with!
    Marriage doesn't change who you are, it changes the number of people you're "supposed to" sleep with.
    How dull life would be without flirting ...

    This is how we roll too.

    Us too.......... and guess what........... no drama at home involving that............

    It's completely dependent on the people involved.

    There's also a major dependence on context/intention. I've gotten messages on here congratulating my progress and telling me I'm beautiful. I've also gotten really creepy messages from men AND women. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying, "Your hard work has paid off and you're a beautiful person." However, I don't appreciate the "Thank god you didn't lose those tits" comments that I've received.

    In fact, it's kind of a turn-on when some woman is flirting with him and he looks over at me and gives me that cocky half grin and a wink.

    Flirting isn't just saying naughty things to each other. Actually, in my book, flirting is rarely saying naughty things.

    My fiance and I had a lot of arguments over Facebook when we first starting seeing each other, which made me feel really dumb and immature, but didn't stop it! =) My idea is that if you wouldn't do it in real life, don't do it in a virtual world. My guy says he doesn't get it and they aren't the same, but he now knows they feel the same to me and he respects that. That being said, I'm a pretty shameless flirt in real life, lol! My personal guideline is if I wouldn't feel comfortable if he read what I'm saying, then I probably shouldn't be saying it.. I use the same guideline in IRL too.

    I agree. I don't mind when someone flirts with my wife. I find it flattering. I am the one that benefits.

    no harm in flirting if ur not attached and if u are.. if u don't have to hide the screen when ur bf/gf comes in the room then its all good
