Sometimes you can't really help it if there's someone very attractive. Seriously how many of you ever done that? It's not cheating because you know your limits but I'm referring to smiles, joking around, maybe some playful pinches, platonic texts, sometimes exchanges in numbers, etc.

However, it doesn't mean you're going to cheat but you're only being playful. There's always going to be attraction with the opposite sex member.

Nothing wrong with that.
I'm not even looking to get a woman but I am a shameless flirt.

You can't help the attraction but you can help what you do about it. Exchanging numbers and playful texts, if it is the playful I am thinking of, there would be a serious problem. Joking and talking, no problem. But don't test the waters.

I only recently realised that some people think talking and joking and smiling with a member of the opposite sex is flirting. LOL I was joking with this guy at work and I put my hand on his shoulder (like a tap) - which was to do with what we were talking about and then my colleagues couldn't wait to tell me I was an outrageous flirt LOL.

I find it hilarious and I wouldn't stop or change as I didn't think anything of it at the time (and I think neither did he).

Do you think if you are one of those loud laugh, jokey people that talk with their hands that this can be misconstrued as flirting?

I thought flirting was where you bat your lashes and toss your hair back and talk cheekily. - If you don't exchange numbers or meet up or kiss or whatever surly it not flirting because it doesn't get to that.

Sorry, but the way I'm reading your post doesn't sound to me like appropriate behavior when you are in a relationship with someone else.

It's not just trust, it's respect for your SO.

If I acted the way the OP described with some guy, my husband would not be thrilled, regardless of trust.... and vice versa.

I agree with PTC - texts is the quick phone calls of yesterday. I'd not care for that if my SO were texting back & forth with another woman. It becomes a fine line.
Hey, a casual flirt here and there is fine - but don't play with people's feelings.
