Is it ok to flirt
Replies

It depends on the degree of flirtation.
"Nice *kitten*." is okay. "Nice *kitten*. Wanna fluck?" is not okay.0 -
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.0

If you are married, nah. You're just asking for trouble.0
-
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.
if a relationship is going to end over online flirtations, it can end over something else also. let's not confuse the symptom with the cause itself.0 -
NO flirting!!! It's a diet and fitness site, for heaven's sakes!! :noway:
JUST KIDDING!!! :laugh:0 -
A woman who feels otherwise obviously has some insecurity issues.0

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!!
:laugh:
This... totally this...
I should have known lol0 -
I'm single so of course it's ok. I flirt on here, all day at work, with one of the trainers at the gym. It's fun. But again I'm single. I can do that.0

Absolutely ok. It isnt like I am booking flights to go see all these men, that if I were single I would consider it. I won't cheat. The guys I am flirty with are aware that I am unavailiable. I am not sending any nekkid pics, I am not calling them and having phone sex. They aren't feeding me, Fu@#ing me or financing me, so it is no threat.0

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
Flirting can definitely be cheating. If you wouldn't do or say it in front of your spouse, it's cheating.0 -
if you're single.0

I'm single, so I see no problem with it.
If I were in a relationship I would not flirt with other people, whether online or in "real life."0 -
I never flirt, but I don't care what anyone else does. Live your life the way you think you should.0

No, I don't like the idea of flirting online. I think it might start off innocently enough but it can get dangerous pretty quickly.
There is always someone out there that takes the flirting a lot more serious then it actually is...so I just try to avoid it altogether.0 -
I am a huge flirt - anytime, anyone. If my SO can't accept that (and he does) then tough - he shouldn't be with me. HOWEVER, we all know when flirting goes too far. Knowing when to slow the roll is important.0

Depends?
Are you single? Then flirt away!
Are you in a relationship? well... is your partner aware of your flirtations? Are they okay with it or does it bother them? When you're in a relationship it's not about YOU anymore... because you become we and you have to take into account your partner's feelings.0 -
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.

I agree...0 -
Flirting on the interwebs is the functional equivalent of unprotected anal sex. Consequently, I have nailed a whole lotta y'all in the keister. Bareback.
No lube, either, I imagine.0 -

I wouldn't agree with this one bit. Not wanting your spouse or significant other to flirt has relatively little to do with being insecure. Yes for a lot of people it can come from insecurity, but people have different values when it comes to what constitutes monogamy. Who are you to say a person is insecure just because they aren't comfortable with flirting in a relationship? It really comes down to what the two people in a relationship value and decide. Having a common ground for comfort levels as far as what bothers each other when it comes to the opposite sex is something every couple has to decide and come to terms with. You obviously are comfortable with your partner flirting when you're in a relationship, which would obviously make you incompatible with someone who's raised in a home where their parents never show any interest in someone of the opposite sex save for their spouse. It all comes down to each individuals values and experience.
As for flirting online, I think it follows the same rules as flirting in person. If the person is receptive, there's really no issue. If the person tells you to back off, or ignores you, take the hint. If you're in a relationship make sure your partner is comfortable with it, and realize that some people won't be comfortable with you flirting with them knowing you have a significant other.0 -
For me its a no no. Especially since this is a site for weight loss and encouraging getting healthy not a dating site. I know I find it a bit discouraging when what little time I have is spent weeding thru stuff I don't want to see or expect to find on here. Threads you normally wouldn't expect to see it on I find it on at times. And this is not a thread I normally would of visited except to say. Please those who want to do that make a thread just for that please and leave the other treads for us who are looking for suggestions, encouragement, and such in our goals to a better healthy us.
Also if you are in a relationship leave the flirting for your partner not people online.0 -
I never flirt.
If I say something that makes you think I am, and there is another way you could construe my statement, then that's the way I meant it.
Really.0 -
I don't confuse flirting with cheating. If a person is going to cheat, they will do it regardless. Flirting is a totally different ball game.0

I have no aversion to flirting ... as long as lines are not crossed. Flirting can be harmless fun, but do not count on me to take it any further, especially since you are online and not IRL here with me (not as if anything would go on if you were here). Shoot I work around MANY men - and most of them are married. We all flirt but when the day comes to a close we all go home to our respective partners.0
-
I pretty much live by the "If I would do it in real life, I will do it online and vice versa rule" so flirting on here is totally fine, but if your SO is not on the same page then perhaps you shouldn't do it...
Only you are going to know if it is OK or not.0 -
Hi.....I'm Morgan. I'm 5'2, a Leo and like long walks on the beach.
Wait...What??? This is a fitness site....:noway:0 -
Why cant a fitness site just be a fitness site. Complimenting or teasing / joking is fine but does every forum on the internet have to turn into a dating site, cum on.0

That's a slippery slope.0 -
