Can Married People Flirt

Okay...

So I am curious as to whether or not this is accepted in today's world. Should married people flirt ?

Flirting is just another way of communicating is it not. To be friendly to those you might like, or to break the ice so to speak.

I am married, and I tend to flirt. With even those that I don't know.

Now the wife accepts this part of me, just wondering what you all think?

No......

But why is this action only allowed for single people.

What is considered flirting these days ? Can a "Hello" be construed as flirting ???

It depends what you see as flirting 😐 "hello" is not flirting!

No, I don't consider "Hello" as flirting.

But an advance on someone, now this I would consider flirting.

Your wife might think the person you're flirting with is the 1 you love! She'll devolse you!

😂 Actually she would. But my wife and I have a very open relationship. She flirts and I flirt...

We find it both healthy in our relationship, as long as it is not taken too far.

Yeah, it's accepted by some. I generally think it's a bad idea, myself.

Backfire ! Good to see ya ! Been awhile.

Thanks for putting in your two cents 😄

Yo, good to see you too man.

An exchange of admiring glances or a bit of lighthearted flirtatious banter can brighten the day, raise self-esteem and strengthen social bonds.

It makes sense to exercise a degree of caution with people who are married or attached. Most people in long-term relationships can cope with a bit of admiration, and may even benefit from knowing that others find them or their partners attractive, but couples differ in their tolerance of flirtatious behaviour, and it is important to be alert to signs of discomfort or distress.

Men have a tendency to mistake friendly behaviour for sexual flirting, because they tend to see the world in more sexual terms than women. Women are naturally more socially skilled than men, better at interpreting people' s behaviour and responding appropriately.

Women need to be careful to avoid sending ambiguous signals in interactions with married men, and men need to be aware that married/attached males may misinterpret friendly behaviour towards their wives/girlfriends. Otherwise, light-hearted flirtation is both harmless and enjoyable.

Flirting is okay.
Sex...not okay.

Absolutely NOT! That is so disrepectful to your partner. No wonder people are filling for divorce each year. They don't respect their marriages.

A very good response, from someone that I consider to be a highly intelligent individual. ( Hi Storm !!! 😄 )

Flirting is not disresptful to one's partner, if he/she is doing with their consent. And once again, it proposes the ultimate question, "What is considered Flirting?"

What if a married man opens the door for a woman? ( Although his wife might say that this is romantic, is he then being a pig by doing it for another woman, or simply a gentlemen? )

I honestly doubt that people file for divorce because their partner flirts.

I think there are more deeper reasons why the divorce rate in this country is so high !!!

i think "breaking the ice" and flirting are two entirely different things. i can be pleasent to a chick without trying to pick her up. if i was in a relationship i wouldn't flirt, i wouldn't want my girlfriend to flirt, even if it was "innocent" i dont see there to be a need, you know it only leads one way
