Well as I
said, it depends on what you call flirting. That’s always been the
problem when we discuss it on this list. Not everyone agrees on a common
definition. Both David and I told Jackie just the other day we always ogle
her. That could easily be called flirting, but the intent wasn’t to
sleep with Jackie as fun as that may be. I see Neecy
several times a year in person, and we flirt in our way, but neither of us are
interested in each other in a sexual fashion. So, I would say that if you are
flirting with the intent of seduction then it will absolutely be wrong, and I
can agree with Lowell it isn’t harmless. I would even go so far as to
say that it can lead you to that compromising position that can result in
cheating. So for that reason, it’s not all harmless. Again, it
boils down to intent. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Angela But anything you read say that simple
flirting is harmless. Now I'm not talking about going out and batting your
eyelashes at another guy and putting your hands all over him, but even being
friendly and smiling and laughing at someone elses jokes can be considered
flirting. The important thing in any relationship is know who you are going
home with or to each night. This trade show I just went to with hubby a few
weeks ago, what I was doing with his companies suppliers could have been
considered flirting, simply because I was being friendly and smiling and wasnt
stiff if one of them hugged me or gave me a kiss on the cheek. But that was all
it was. I need to look up this article I was reading a few months ago where it
was talking about flirting and marriage. But the basic overlook of the article
was light simple flirting can be vital to a relationship b/c it keeps things
fresh. It said never take flirting to the point of making your spouse jealous.
It also stated that flirting is just a simple part of human nature and some
people do it without realizing it. Not putting anyone down, but most of the
casual banter in here between the men and the women can be considered flirting.
And in anyone I've ever asked, a strictly online relationship is just as
damaging to a relationship and can be considered cheating as much as any
physical relationship. So if you feel flirting is wrong, then when you are
online you should watch your comments (not directed at you AJ, just a
generalization). A couple weeks ago when Tim told David and I to get a room, we
were flirting with each other, but not in a way that either of our spouses
would probably think was wrong. Therefore it is harmless.
