[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're either cheating or wasting someone's time. It depends on how you flirt. If you flirt with no intention of treating the person you're flirting with more romantic interest than any other member of the general public, you're leading him on. You're using him for an emotional rush of some sort. But you're not cheating. [/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

Disagree. I think lots of people enjoy friendly banter that could be interpreted as flirting on its own. No one is indicating anyone should pretend to be single or give the impression they are available to date or sleep with. [/quote]

But that's what flirting nis. Flirting is how single people let other single people know they are interested and available.
It's not just banter or whatever crap you and others are trying to gaslight with.

It's why  we've got threads asking how to flirt. Articles on how to be a better flirt.
Do why are you as a person in a relationship not interested in cheating engaging in behavior that's universally seen in Western society as making yourself available?[/quote]

Okay *you* think flirting is more banter. I agree. But my husband still tells me that my interactions could be easily interpreted as flirtatious, so I’m not gaslighting here, Im saying that people shouldn’t expect me to stop “bantering” or laughing at somebody’s jokes because somebody might think I’m showing interest in them. (And by the way I don’t think I’ve ever actually been hit on as a result of flirting so I am obviously not sending out signals I’m available).

But I feel like this is going deeper with you, either because you’re single and frustrated about that or married to somebody who doesn’t make you feel secure in your relationship. Or you just have strong feelings about people talking to each other. [/quote]

If your husband thinks youur actions cross the line into inappropriate you should probably consider that.

You're poorly attempting to play semantics here.
Friendly is friendly and flirting is flirting.
Stop involving single people in your drama to get attention from your husband. Mrs. Narcissist.[/quote]

If you are single and sad about that, I don’t think that married people like me are your problem. Your problem is your people skills and probably a lack of self confidence.

But my husband doesn’t think Im doing anything inappropriate, people have different definitions of flirting and yours doesn’t automatically win, I don’t remember the last time I interacted with a single person because I’m a married SAHM, and the definition of narcissist isn’t like the definition of flirting in that there is a lot of room for disagreement. You’re using it wrong.[/quote]
