Married people,do you flirt with other people?

[Anonymous]

If you are married or in a serious relationship, do you ever flirt with other men or women? Why? Why not?

I am married and I sometimes casually flirt with guys at the bar but its all fun and games. I don't actively initiate it, but if they come up to me and start talking i chat back and if they get any further ideas, I mention that I'm married.

I am pretty level headed about it and think its only in good fun.

Does anyone else?

I don't initiate, but I do flirt back sometimes.

I don't flirt per se, but I will have conversations with other men even when it's clear that they are trying to flirt with me. I don't hide the fact that I'm married and will mention it in the normal course of a conversation, but I also don't immediately shut them down unless the guy is creepy or drunk or really coming on strong. It's innocent and can be flattering, so I don't see any harm. Conversely, I wouldn't care if DH chatted up women who were trying to flirt with him, because I know he would never take it further.

No I don't flirt. I don't want to give mixed messages.

Can you define casual flirt?

I'm not married but I have been in a serious relationship for 4 years. I do not flirt with other men and I would expect my boyfriend NOT to flirt with other women. Not to sound vein, but many people find the both of us attractive. There are women who cannot take their eyes off of him when he's out, but he doesn't respond to it. There are guys that come up to me and try to talk to me, but I politely ignore them (or laugh if they say something funny - then keep it moving). I feel like if you're really into your spouse/mate/whatever, you wouldn't be interested in flirting with others. But, if you have attention issues (like some women I know), you just want all eyes on you so you will flirt. That's a whole nother issue though. Not sure if it's any different for married people, but that's my 2 cents.

Nope. Not interested in other men, plus have too much respect for my marriage/husband to do so.

Yes! I feel the same way. I just feel like as long as you don't feed into it, it's not your problem. You can't help it if you're attractive

I don't think I flirt, buy my wife says that I do. Guess one of us doesn't know the definition of flirting.
