    I cannot tell you how glad I am to see a post like this...I thought I was living in some weird parallel universe where flirting is considered a crime punishable by garotting...kind of like Fringe except without the charm.

    I don't know what garotting is but you can do it to me anytime you like! :wink:

    You like erotic asphyxiation? How rude.

    Stop flirting please thank you. It is against the law ...

    unless you pay me.

    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.

    This.
    If both parties are okay with it, do what you like. If either has a problem with it, stop. Even if that person has a problem with the fact that you're married but "your wife is okay with it."

    My husband and I have been together now for nearly 11 years and I would say it is absolutley fine to flirt. Having a laugh and joke and a little flirt with another person is fun and light hearted and most deffinatley not cheating.

    I think it depends where you are in a relationship and how comfortable you are with each other, and for that matter with yourself too.

    I think flirting is natural and gives you more self confidence and although you shouldn't need it for this it kind of reaffirms to yourself that your worthy of attention - the fact that other people want to flirt with you. Nothing wrong with a confidence boost :) especially when youve been sooooo obese for sooooo long!

    Well Hello there sexy *looks around and raises eyebrow* How you doin??

    Im good baby, how you doin?

    Thank goodness I never flirt. I can't understand people who flirt online. I mean, seriously? :huh:

    yeah, I agree. I think its just ridiculous when people who are both mature, over the age of legal consent, apparently normal people flirt with each other. It is just down right disgusting! I wouldn't understand that at all! (big grunt in disbelief that this is even going on in the world)

    I can't tell if this was typed with a sarcasm font or not...

    The only opinion that matters is that of your significant other or spouse. I'm sure that's been said 100 times already in this thread, but I just wanted to get my $.02 in. :smile:

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

    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.

    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............
