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.
nsil on the head. NOTHING good can come from it. turn the tables and ask if you would want a significant other flirting...??0 -
I would not participate in online flirting... I am married, so its totally off limits for me, but even if I were not otherwise involved, I don't think the internet is an appropriate forum for meeting men... I would need face to face time to determine if flirting is appropriate.0

I see it as inappropriate and dangerous if you're in a relationship. If you're not, and interested in someone, not sure why you wouldn't0

Personally I see flirting, online and off, as a harmless form of fun. It makes everyone feel good, adds a little life to your day, but isn't anything more. Flirting doesn't necessarily imply that you're interested, or that if you are, you are going to take any action on it--its a pleasant social interaction. If the other person doesn't respond in kind, or if you have another indication that it makes them uncomfortable then you should stop, out of respect for the other person, but short of that, have fun.
I'm married, and my husband doesn't care that I flirt with other people. My boundaries are clear and he trusts me.0 -
I'm single, I get to flirt all I want online. ;-)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.
Couldn't agree more.0 -
yeah, seriously, if you are married, you shouldn't be flirting online. Its no different than calling up one of your wifes hot friends and trying to rail her while your wife is at work. imo anyway.
just sad, and wrong. being married, means you've made your choice! pull up your big boy pants and deal with it.0 -
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 would say it depends......I like a little flirting (as long as it isn't stalkerish), but I'm single....so I have no issues. Married people may feel differently.0 -
Thank goodness I never flirt. I can't understand people who flirt online. I mean, seriously? :huh:0

A woman who feels otherwise obviously has some insecurity issues.
Don't let her fool you. Patti flirts with me CONSTANTLY!
*runs*
I always figured Patti for a big ol'

Of course, why not...0

For me its a no no. Especially since this is a site for weight loss and encouraging getting healthy not a dating site.
Shh...don't tell my special someone that I met right here on MFP this!! :drinker: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.
I agree

maybe I am confusing flirting with complementing.... Say hey beautiful or handsome and then following it by How you doing? that is considered flirting rite??
or is flirting saying things that are more graphic?? Please keep in mind I was raised over seas and English is my second language :flowerforyou:
also I joke a lot and these are things I would say to people I know in person and it would be taken as a complement and a sweet funny too :flowerforyou:0 -
Depends, do you flirt with jsut one person or with lots of people? If it's jsut one person that is more then just flirting-and a problem, if you are a flirt in general then no it's not such a problem ( at least for me)0

Can't we support each other without trying to get into someones Pants....I come here for Motivation not for a Man...I have one..0

mm my idea of flirting would be "you look so great" nothing further then that. i love my boyfriend, i dont feel the need to flirt online.0
-
There's a HUGE difference between harmless flirting (something you would do in front of your SO that would leave no one with hurt feelings) and flirting that would cause a fight if it were "found out."
I have no SO, so I'll eye f*** any ginger I please... FYI.0 -
Flirting makes my day So I am completely okay with it...0
