Is social flirting acceptable?

Fish4Fun · October 2009

I enjoy dressing sexy (note: "sexy" not "skanky"). I like walking around and knowing that people are admiring the way I look. However, I am pretty anti-flirting. Smiling and genial chatting is okay, but giggling and hair tossing is a no-no.

Flirting a definate NO-no

labooshki · October 2009

What if I socially flirt with your husband's picture, is that acceptable?

I'll smile at anyone. That is, a regular smile. Not a fck me smile.

If casual chatting occurs, like if I am standing in line, it's no biggie. But, I don't go out of my way to talk to a random person.

guilty as charged...no bad intentions but it is fun.

ETA: I guess I should define this before I'm considered a slore. Casual convo, smiling, etc with someone new at work/school/gropu gathering is what I consider social flirting.

Big no-no.

I think there is a VERY fine line...you don't want to come off as a b!tch, but who's to say what is too much smiling and genial chatting? I think overt and purposeful flirting is an absolute no-no. But being friendly is not.

megontoast · October 2009

I think if a married person is flirting, it just opens a door that should never be opened. I would bet that's how 90% of affairs start... "harmless flirting". It's a danger zone that I steer very very clear of.

I think everyone enjoys being noticed, but out right flirting isn't cool in my book.

I've done it and so has DH. We have a very healthy relationship IMO.

I think alot of this debate comes down to where you live and your lifestyle.

Listen... any sort of genital chatting outside of marriage is a no no in my book. What kind of loosey goosey ship are you running there?

DH and I will be jokingly flirtatious with friends of ours that we both know. Most of them are married or in relationships themselves and are well aware that it is all in good fun. I think we just have a flirtatious group of friends.

I do not flirt with strangers though. I will be friendly and don't have a problem with meeting new people, but I make it clear that I am married.

jkmccall22 · October 2009

It's a no-no, in my book.

Janimal · October 2009

I guess is depends on your definition of flirting. I can tease an old guy friend and know it's perfectly cool and harmless. But some dudes will even take a friendly smile to mean something it doesn't. For me, if I wouldn't do or say something in front of DH, then I won't do it when he's not around either.

But even when I was single, I wasn't a hair tosser. Or much of a giggler either actually. I was more of a "I'm gonna mess with you and give you a hard time and see if you have a good comeback" kinda gal cos I liked men with quick wit and brains.

I don't even know what to think about DH. I really don't think he flirts with girls, but they are always throwing themselves at him. Last time we gave some random girls a ride home from the marina, one of them licked his hand. Licked his hand! And his arm was around me. He about slapped her in the face. It was pretty funny.

But seriously, happens.all.the.time. The man has magnetic pull or something.

Um....tangent! LOL, long story short, flirt away.

I don't think it's a big deal. But really, my definition of flirting is smiling and chatting. I`m sure others have different definitions.

Pahahah! How did I miss this? I had to race back to my OP to doublecheck. Sneaky lass!

JARbaby · October 2009

If I would not do it in front of DH I would not do it behind his back.
