YO! Can flirting be innocent? Does flirting suggest you're available?...

We're human beings, our primary function is procreating. If I'm flirting w/a chick I'm not just making it seem like I'm interested, I AM INTERESTED. Flirting is not a crime - regardless of relationship status. Keep it in your pants and everything is cool. With respect to flirting w/your significant other around... that's just disrespectful. Obviously you should be flirting w/him/her if that's who you're going home w/. My lady knows I flirt w/girls, but she also knows that I'm not going home w/any of these chicks. I'd equate it to going 65mph in a 65 zone. Its legal, stop sweating it.
Chick on OP's favorite show sounds like a prude. I don't even know what show he's talking about but she's probably a regular Angelina-from-Jersey-Shore type.
 
YO!

Ditto for me. I'm in broads faces all day with all 32 of my not so pearly whites showing - trying to make that dollar.
[qoute=aceofjays]I don't think flirting is innocent at all. Just think about it this way, if your significant other was sitting next to you, would you still feel comfortable saying/doing what you are with that other person.[/quote]
I understand that point. In fact, a dude who works with me (he's married) uses that logic. But speaking for myself, I've been on "dates" at restaraunts and flirted with countless waitress/hostesses by some people's definition... And what's my flirting get me? A discount on the bill!

In those cases, the girl I was with usually made a favorable comment about my behavior. BUT I'm not silly enough to think that if said girl was my "girlfriend" she'd be just as comfortable - and that might be an entirely different post that needs to be made to address why that is.

I do it regardless... Im single so I guess it really doesn't matter, but seeing them girls eat your words up and leaving them knowing that they are wanting more gives me a nice little high, wether my intention is to bag em or not.

I flirt a lot at my job for the sales, but hey it works and I don't plan on doing anything so I don't see anything wrong with it.

Cosign...

I normally dont think that I'm flirting because I have no interest
in the chicks whatsoever...

After a while, they start to eat my words up and try to move in
on me lol, but get mad when they find out I have a girlfriend...

But all the chicks that I "flirt" with say that I flirt too much to
have a girlfriend... (most of them arent too attractive )

Oh, and this:


and I'm a hypocrite. cause if my wife did that? i'd be heated.

Yep I believe u all the way there buddy ill whoop my wife mass chris brown style if she flirts lol

good answer...I'll have to co-sign with this.

So many people have a flirtatious nature that just comes natural, and sometimes its not even intentional.

How?

I consider it cheating because you're making someone think you want to be with them while being in a relationship with someone else. And it's just disrespectful.

Really? It would suck to be your SO. Anyway flirting can definitely be innocent. Like someone mentioned it's about the intent and the delivery somewhat too. There are different levels of flirting and it's about knowing what is appropriate and what isn't.

Oh and someone flirting does NOT equal someone wanting to be with you or even get in your pants. This is why I try and limit the flirting. People get way too ahead of themselves.
 
Flirting is never innocent, I always feel there's some direct/indirect intentions that come with it

Stop it 5, are you seriously trying to say that you haven't flirted with anyone while in a relationship. Or that people in relationships only flirt because they have intentions in a sexual nature or to get with the person they are flirting with?

Nope I never flirted while in a relationship. When I'm with someone, I'm with them 100 percent and I expect the same from them. It's not just that the person flirting may have sexual intentions, it's that the other person is going to think that you have sexual intentions if you are flirting with them. It's not appropriate behavior and it's disrespectful to your SO and to your relationship with them.

You sound like my gf... we go back and forth with this all the time. But flirting with someone does not signify that you aren't with your partner 100%.

If your significant other is "flirting" with a female that he's friends with and knows that he's in a relationship is it still not innocent flirting?

Do you not believe that many people have a flirtatious nature that is just a personality trait?
 
Im w/ everyone who says it can (and often is) absolutely be innocent. Anyone goin in w/ the expectation that flirting = single and wanting to be pursued is fooling themselves.

This reminds me of people who think that just because they are in a relationship they dont see other people outside of that relationship attractive.  We're human being, not robots or machines that can turn things on and off.  Intent is the key.
 
Some people are just natural flirts, I don't think they know they're doing it. I've got a coworker that way. He doesn't flirt with *everyone*, just non coworkers.. And it's not even overtly flirting or anything, I just dunno what else to call it. He's a people person overall though.
