Good morning DCUM!
Curious to hear different thoughts on what's flirting VS being nice when chatting with a stranger in public (i.e., talking to a stranger in the grocery store). Also, when they mention their DW/H but still ask about you and give deep looks/seem excited to see you. Reason I ask is that I've been having more and more of these encounters and I've heard different thoughts from friends but wanted to see what those on here think! Cheers! |

If they are married, it doesn’t really matter, does it? It’s not going anywhere.
If you are enjoying the conversation, then continue. If not, then move on. |
| Are you 13? Have you really reached adulthood without managing to figure this out? |
I think it doesn't really matter but then a friend mentioned AP situation and how "it's more common than you think...." I'm not interested personally but that's why I posted to see if others had different thoughts. |
I'm not the only one because myself, and different friends I've spoke to have different opinions. I think a lot of it is subjective. |

Married people "safely" flirt all the time. Especially married dads. Maybe it adds some pep in their step, idk. Mentioning their DW gives them plausible deniability.
As PP upthread said, if you're enjoying it too, great. As a single mom I pivot quickly from these interactions. |
| Do people still flirt in real life now? I thought we had apps for that. |
Yes, it's fun. As a married woman, I enjoy it. No one is cheating on anyone. It just adds a little spice to our lives. |
Yes |
| Mostly an older person thing. |
| Some people are just chatty. They can have a conversation with someone without it having any deeper meaning than being an interesting conversation. |
if you are a married person on an app to flirt your husband has a problem. |
| If you're talking with a stranger in a public place, you're flirting. Probably. |
| You are likely coming off as someone about to have a breakdown and they are being nice. |
|
Strangers are giving you deep looks and are excited to see you while talking about their significant others.
Wow, you are desperate. |
