[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]

This assumes the person you are “flirting” with doesn’t know you are married and is under the impression this will turn into a romantic or sexual situation. IMO people often flirt (as defined by smiling, laughing, trying to be charming/funny and general banter) with others they know and who know they are married and not interested in anything.

A big part of this is that I think flirting is defined very differently by different people. For me, harmless flirting would include banter and maybe a vibe of some sort but it’s not really one of those things that is concrete and measurable. I don’t think most people would be aggressively flirting to the point of sexual innuendos or giving out their number. To me, this would not be flirting it would be actively pursuing. [/quote]

It also assumes the other person isn’t in the exact same situation - married or in a relationship with no intention of cheating or pursuing anything. And yes, there’s a huge difference between flirting as you and I define it and actually pursuing someone. [/quote]

But why flirt,? You know it's not going anywhere. So why do it? What's the point?[/quote]

Still waiting on an explanation [/quote]
