How much of a factor is privacy when you decide to or not?

I've done abit over the years. Lack of privacy is a big factor often when I chose not to.
Then at other times I'm slightly aware when there is a lack of privacy and do it anyway.

When I get some more time later I will share why sometimes I think it stops me and why sometimes it doesn't.

Huh?

You're going to have to clarify for me.

In lots of examples in public. You have a lack of privacy, other people, sometimes many, hearing alot of what you are saying.

If what you're saying makes you THAT self-conscious, maybe you shouldn't say it.

I flirt a lot but I never considered the privacy factor. However, I don't equate flirting with inviting someone into my bed either.

I'm curious what kind of "flirting" you are talking about. Is it more sexual in nature?

Not sure why a person wouldnt be able to flirt in public? There is nothing wrong or shameful about it.

I see no need for privacy, unless you're flirting is a) excessively lewd or crude, or b) your SO is present and would disapprove.

I don't do (a) and my SO doesn't mind if I flirt. I don't require privacy, but I don't want an audience either (I'm shy lol).

I think flirting in public would be better (unless it is just beyond sleazy and nasty) Just being nice and flirtatious in public would make the woman feel comfortable. Not saying anything in public to her and being flirtatious only in private, may make her unintentionally question your motives or make her feel uneasy

Privacy should not be an issue unless you are too self-conscious. What are you afraid of? People judging you for flirting with someone?
