Flirting ..disrepectful or not at all?

Flirting while in a relationship, especially in a marriage, is disrespectful and therefore NOT okay.0

I don't get this. If you look that's one thing, but if you actively flirt I assume you're interested and single (that or you're cheating scum). Beh. Don't waste my time if you're taken. I hate that!
I don't know if your significant other thinks you're disrespecting her when you do that, but for sure you're disrespecting me!
I think you're confusing "flirting" and "hitting on". There's a difference.
There is? Okay yeah, I missed that subtle distinction I guess.
I'm not sure its even that subtle. There seem to be a few women here that huddle in corners like scared alley cats and respond with venom to any guy daring to speak to them. At least I see them posting on threads. If you think that a guy speaking to you or even complimenting you automatically means that he's hitting on you, then you may be one these women.0 -
Some people are natural flirts. I flirt with girls more than boys though. Weird?0

There is a HUGE difference between flirting and hitting on someone. I dont see a problem with a little harmless fun.0 -
If you're single please do. If you aren't, please don't!
That's my general rule as well.

In real life, I flirt with pretty much everybody. If its got a pulse and a hole, I will hit on you with full intention of sleeping with you. Exceptions are there (married/somebody SO, friends ex, friend called dibs on you etc)
Online, I very very VERY rarely flirt. Most of the girls I know online flirt with me but I usually leave it unanswered. I have learned my lessons many years ago that nothing good comes out of flirting online, harmless or otherwise. That lesson was taught recently again when I tried to break the rule and was lied to. In real life I woulda caught the lie but online, its hard to tell.0 -
Think you need to find a differnt types of women you are dating...not all of us are jealous psychos...many of us are fun and love to laugh too.
Being fun and laughing has nothing to do with flirting. Unless I'm mistaken.
Very ingnorant sounding post.
Really, I guess I am doing it all wrong then...dang it! :noway: :laugh:0 -
My husband doesn't mind me flirting though I do not flirt in front of him but I am a waitress in a place that is almost a night club scene on most the nights I work, so I get flirted with a lot, I flirt back, may not mean half the crap I say to the guys but I flirt and you better believe I do it for the money lol.0

But just because somebody doesn't flirt and would appreciate their partner not flirt, doesn't make them crazy jealous people...

I flirt once in a while. It's nice to have some positive attention from a female once in a while. Being told "rub my feet" and everything you did wrong that day can wear on a person.
Sounds like a wife problem.
Sometimes I wonder who y'all are married to.0 -

Exactly

To answer the question, I think we're both guilty of 'glancing' but that's about where it ends. We're both friendly people and I think that gets mistaken for flirting by certain types of people but.... no.0

Unfortunately, you took my comment out of context...since I didn't put it with the original quote. That was not at all what I was saying at all, I believe if a couple has communicaiton, this wouldn't be an issues since they would share what is ok with them and what is not.0 -

its always about the money!

So women who don't adhere to the "flirting is ok" mindset are jealous psychos in capable of fun and laughter? Wow
No...LOL I did not included the original quote.(I am new and just figured out the quote thing!) If you read the thread, it will make more sense! That was not at all what I was saying!0 -

Lets just say, flirting makes me feel confident. I was a big flirt on her before I met my boyfriend and I was driven to losing weight, felt good about myself and how I was looking.
I think this says a lot of what I feel. I am a flirty/friendly person by nature. When you feel yucky, you don't have the confidence to be flirty/friendly. Now that I have dropped some of the weight ( I still have 50-60lbs to go to be at a healthy BMI), I feel like I carry myself differently...like I have the confidence to laugh and joke.
No matter HOW happily married someone is, I think it makes them feel attractive when someone from the opposite sex flirts with them a little. If you were butt ugly, you wouldn't get the same kind of attention!0 -
I am friendly and joyful. I smile a lot, make eye contact, engage in fun conversation. It can seem like flirting. I behave the same with men and women. I don't go out of my way to flirt. I've been with my husband for 14 years, so I am not accustomed to interacting with men as potential dating partners. Sometimes men think I am rejecting them because I don't respond to subtle flirting. It's just that when I go out into the world, it's a world full of friends, not dating partners. I think flirting is good, just as long as no one is getting the wrong idea (leading people on, toying with people's heart strings). I get a lot of admirers, so I try to be clear (so no one gets hurt or attached).0

Yep, exactly. And my boyfriend should appreciate it. IF I get told I look good or get that kind of confidence boost, he will surely reap the benefit of it!

Yes I did asked a quedtion about inter racial dating? And so what! That was yesterdays post!
And no I'm not single. Very happily married and I love to flirt! Not insecure and neither is my husband.0 -
Not ok with me if my boyfriend flirted with another girl or kept looking at her. Sorry, but no.0

Great question. I say, innocent flirting with no strings attached is okay.
Thanks..I agree0 -

EXACTLY! When I think I have caught someone trying to be sneaky and check out my squat ( because they WANT to check it out), it makes me feel good. That translates into a desire to "play" that night , once the kids go to bed :blushing:0 -
Depends. If the body language is indicitive of 'donotwant' they should seriously back off and I do think it's disrespectful to a) badmouth the person they were trying to flirt with and b) keep on trying. That's when it starts verging into sexual harrassment.
Likewise if a person is obviously attached to someone else.
However if the person being flirted with doesn't mind (which should be obvious via body language) then I wouldn't say it's disrespectful in the least...again provided they're not attached.0
