If there is an attraction or a conversation of a sexual nature

[Lewismacfarlane]

When I was with my ex I was a bit jealous about the amount of male friends she had

[arista]

Depends how far they go........

[Mystic Mock]

I wouldn't call it cheating, but it's not advisable to do it if you've already got a partner.

[Crimson Dynamo]

If there is an attraction or a conversation of a sexual nature

well that is 2 polar opposite situations!

when you get your knob out and shake it in a girls face, that could be considered flirting

[thesheriff443]

No I it’s all part of the game

[thesheriff443]

I was out once with a partner in a Spanish restaurant there was a hen party and the bride asked my partner if she and her friends could have a picture with me.

I used to love a flirt, yeah no issues as long as you dont take it further

It depends like if you are engaged or married its not the best idea, but if you are just seeing someone where is the issue

[smudgie]

Apparently I am a natural flirt.
No harm with a bit of friendly banter but that’s it.

I used to love my ex-ex when we were out and she was flirting with other men. She always came home with me, and i dunno, watching her flirt made me more "hot blooded" as a male. We would have the best sex ever those nights. Passionate, intense etc...

If someone flirts to make themselves feel good, fine. Never had a problem with that. It only gets tricky when your gf/bf/wife/husband is getting fcked in a toilet cubical or something.

I always found flirting with others to spice up our sex life.

No.

emotional cheating is very much a thing

It is ... but flirting isn't emotional cheating, either.

[rusticgal]

So long as it’s innocent flirting…if it starts to offend your other half then you need to respect that and stop.

It’s not cheating imo…

I'd agree with that too - ultimately, if your partner isn't comfortable with it then you have to respect that (which means either not doing it, or admitting that you're incompatible).

This absolutely for me.
I agree.

[Lewismacfarlane]

Im surprised the very few people think its not cheating

[Kate!]

No.

[Niamh.]

Not cheating but I think it's disrespectful to your partner

I think cheating is about motive more than anything. Having a little flirt is harmless, however if you’re flirting to get some then yes deffo cheating

[UserSince2005]

Only if you stick it in

[Beso]

Depends who's doing it.

It's not... emotional cheating is a very specific thing; engaging in a close, intimate relationship with someone up to the point where it's basically a romantic relationship (just without any physical/sexual contact). "Flirting" is much more casual than that. I guess you could argue that it could LEAD to emotional cheating.

Anyway I personally think everyone flirts a lot more than they think they do - it's a major part of a tonne of human communication and a lot of it is subconscious. A tonne of flirting goes on right here on TiBB :shrug:. I think a lot of people just wouldn't call it that.
