[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]
