Who is to tell it's only joking? I can always tell it's a joke and it really isn't. My partner has no way of knowing it, so it definitely isn't ok to flirt in joking manner with anybody that isn't your partner.
As long as they know it's a joke, and I know it's a joke, and of course she knows it's a joke, then I see nothing wrong with that.
Nope, dont like that.
I wouldn't like it if my SO was okay with me flirting like that either.
I feel like some guys wouldn’t mind because they don’t want to come off as insecure but deep down probably will get irritated and eventually leave if it persist.
I would say no but I am kind old fashioned. I’m sure it happens all the time. I guess as long as it’s in humor it’s ok
If I trust my partner and friends, sure! If I don’t, then obviously not.
No, its not okay. I had a friend who flirted with both me and my boyfriend, but cause I didn't say anything she got more flirty and touchy, so I broke ties with her.
No. Well, she can have him if her affections are that high. I already played that stupid game.
That's a tricky question. Where do we set the line between what is a joke and what isn't?
If they’re friends and it’s just a joke (no feelings) then thats fine.
I'm secure so I dnt see any harm done now if it goes past that complement then yea it might be sum smoke in the city
Yeah I'd be a little fine with it, but only if my friends jokingly does it to him first. And then after the one joke is over, don't keep doing it.
Nope. It's a matter of respect. Even if it's not serious.
Yes, how else is a bro going to make that threesome happen?
Hell no. They should have a little more respect for me and for our relationship.
I don't think it's okay. But it still affects me that I had brought up my discomfort about this in a joking manner to my ex, and she basically threw "you're just insecure" in my face.
Fine if they mean nothing by it, if you have a problem with it nothing wrong with letting them know
What if he said the following via text to a close female friend?
Her- That salesman brought me donuts again. Chocolate ones.
Him- That dude really wants it
Her- I’m about to let him have it if he brings those chocolate ones lol
Him- damn. about to go buy some chocolate donuts!
Seems like some regular old banter, don't sweat it
I took it as him wanting to get with her sexually! Like she’s going to give it to the salesman because he brings her donuts. So now my guy says he’s going to bring some...
That's just you being nervous cause you care for him, it's fine for you to worry but don't work yourself up to much
Ok. Glad you think it’s nothing cause I’m upset. Lol
Flirting isn't always sexual. I like to think of it as harmless banter. Nothing too far of course but just teasing (like if I tease my gay friend , it isn't like I'm actually flirting with him it's just a joke).
No way. Absolutely not.
Sure, if the relationship's solid, we trust each other and it's just some friendly banter then cool.
She can do that if she wants to. Just don't expect me to be faithful to her or take her seriously.
