flirting whilst being in a happy relasionship

[zzxxee]

do any of you do this and if you are happy why???

[ummmm]

Ginge is terrible for it....

Yes all the time, I've always been a hit with the women and have many as friends so this may have something to do with it. I'd like to add that I only flirt with single women and would feel uncomfortable doing this with a woman that was married or in a relationship. This may also have roots with me never knowingly ever been with a woman that admitted she is in a relationship.

settled not dead....flirting is ok so long as the other half isn't worried by it....and it never goes beyond the point at which the other person just feels a little flattered...

[ummmm]

Actually...I'm not sure 'flirt' is the right word. More like 'leery git'

It doesn't bother me though as he's very funny with it...

yer its in my nature :-) (Hi Vibes ;-) ). Me and my bloke have a very trusting relationship and are both very happy.

[4getmenot]

I do it more in a way that they know I'm joking

[cazzz1975]

not really, Im not really a flirty person, I can banter and give you a fat lip but Im not a flirter

[jackthehat]

I'm rubbish at it.............and I have to wait for Mrs JtH to let me know that I'm being flirted with............i just think people are being friendly.

[Greedyfly]

I do and because it is my natural character to do it and I think it's healthy.

I will with anyone and both sexes because it's fun and good for the ego.

[ummmm]

Not sure what I'm like.

I'm like you Jack...I don't notice when people flirt with me.

there is a huge difference between flirting and being flirtatious...

flirting, to me, implies genuine interest in getting to know the person better

being flirtatious, is just a way of behaving, such as mannerisms, tone, banter, jokes, etc etc that are just fun, and friendly and display fun
you may for instance be flirtatious with a 90 old man...bit of banter, imply if you were younger hed be fighting you off etc...this is clearly not intended to be taken seriously...but you wouldnt genuinely flirt and say stuff like, lets meet for dinner or whatever...

trouble is, many can't tell the difference - on both sides...

i think as long as you dont go over the top or be innapropriate then its ok...and make sure your other half knows its just banter etc

Flirting makes the world go round......it's fun, harmless and makes you feel good
