Wow, lacking sense of humor much? LOL It was a joke. I always follow up anything I say with "it's part of my charming personality". And rest assured, I do have a charmig personality. For myself and others like me, there is nothing wrong if you BY nature have a flirtatious, friendly attitude towards people of all sexes and ages. It's called personality and charm. Much better than being a grumpy, miserable sap all the time.

My SO and I learned this the hard way. Don't do it.

It's not the flirter's intention that counts - it's how the SO interprets it.

I like this, the common sense approach.

Do we do it? Yes we do but that does not make it right in any way.

I agree totally. If I found out my SO was acting in some of the ways mentioned here I would say goodbye and never look back. Its disrespectful.

I wouldn't like my bf doing it simply because it is disrespectful, regardless of you not cheating. It just does not look right.

This is something the couple needs to discuss as a couple. I've seen people who are OK with it. But I've seen it break up relationships. You and your SO need to sit down together and discuss where the lines are for you (as a couple).

You each may have different ideas of what is too much. If so talk about it. But both of you need to remember this; If it is OK for you to do, it is OK for me to do. Otherwise there will be an inequality in your relationship that will cause stress & strain. This is an issue of mutual trust & respect. It needs to work for both people.

Just my 2 cents.

It's ok for guys to do it, but not for girls. Well, not literally but it's not double standard. Guys and girls are different and they need to be treated differently.

I believe in monogamy, but I am a total flirt. I like it. It's fun and I am good at it. Yes, sometimes it gets me into more trouble than it is worth. All that being said if my guy asked me not to do it I would make every effort not to.

Are you referring to guys flirting with guys? Because if the guys are flirting with girls, guess what? The girls are flirting too. Think about it.

Come now, just who is it you are trying to convince?

Was your SO/wife/girl looking over your shoulder while you typed this thread out?

We all know (except the exceptionally naive) that opening that many lines of communication with an attractive member of the opposite sex, will sooner or later lead to the opening of something else.

It's not rocket science my good man!
