Ahahaha... been there, done that...

I find flirting sometimes as just mild joking. It's just fun to test each others wits. Sexual attraction and seduction doesn't always have to end up in sex... its important to have self control and know your boundaries too.

I dont know why guys in this thread are so wound up about being lead on... Guys... it's just a game.. a little fun... she has no obligation to actually get with you... atpp trying to fuck the first thing that talks to you 🤣🤣

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I don't see a point in flirting with somebody if you don't like them. That's like asking somebody to prepare a cake and then throw it in the garbage without eating it - if you don't like the taste and can't eat it - why are you baking the cake? It's a waste of time.

coachTanthony · Answer

I eat when I am bored so if their isn't a sandwich available I guess I would consider flirting!

If you’re both single it’s ok I know it ain’t right But I don’t care... Ariana Grande, Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored

Mollynotgemma · Answer

Flirting is natural and we all do or even without realising it... as a girl I’ll see a girl out and asked where her dress was from... or to the postman I’ll ask him if he’s going home soon... as opposed to just taking the parcel and saying thank you! That’s flirting! We all flirt to get by in this world! We all flirt to make ourselves and other feel good!
We all communicate firstly by flirting! Wether we like it or not it’s a natural trait we have as humans... to make friends you have to flirt. SIMPLE AS THAT

Maddyjojo_1798 · Answer

HOLY GOD YES Listen don’t do it. I know you’re bored af but do something else anything else. Go shave your dog. Go paint your nails. I. Don’t. Care. Just don’t flirt with someone when you’re bored. I’ve gotten myself into some dumb situations by doing this. Just please don’t do it. For the sake of your own sanity. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

It is bad to flirt when you are bored because you could lead someoneone to believe you are interested in them when you are not. If they ask you out on a date because of it and you turn them down you could end up being known as a bitch or an asshole for leading them on. If they get enough people leading them to a dead end then when someone is flirting with them because they are interested that person will not know it and might miss an opporunity with a wonderful person.

Especially if you're engaged, like the girl I like, supposedly is

Interesting situation. I met a girl a couple weeks ago. I had never meant to, but, a guy who introduced himself to me, introduced me to her, I don't really know why he did. She wanted to meet me supposedly, and we got to talking about some stuff, including where we were and why we were there. She flirted and talked with me almost the whole night, bought me a shot, etc.. but, her friend, a girl, who she lives with, told me the girl is engaged. Not only did the girl I like, not mention anything about being engaged, but, she never mentioned ANY other man in her life, AND he didn't show up to where we were that night.

Yet, on her instagram, it says "so and so has my heart". She doesn't know I know she's supposedly engaged, so, I have to be somewhat careful with how she continues to interact with me but, the wedding is in October, so, I have some time to figure out what her TRUE intentions are

Texaskid1 · Answer

It is a shit thing to do. Maybe for you it is just fun and games but maybe the other person thinks you have an interest in them. Maybe they get their hopes up. You are toying with someone's feelings. Anyone that does that is not worth two dog shits ( and this coming from an asshole like me)

DizzyDesii · Answer

Its bad but people do it anyway. Im a weird flirter. If im not interested in them then ill flirt but throw in hints that i just like them as a friend 🤷‍♀️ So ig its more of a tease thing I don't know

Purpleronnie · Answer

Intentionally Leading a person on because your bored ? , you can think of anything else more constructive to do? Lol. Your playing with a persons feelings because your bored , that’s wrong and pretty stupid

awkwardman · Answer

I say its wrong as your kinda leading them on. But what do i know because "im a cheater" fucking wish i had the chance to deny that oh wait i can because i have never dated a girl in my life. Haven't even hooked up. Thats right im a fucking 25 year old virgin. Must be something wrong with me because im a virgin who doesn't cheat.

sexphobe · Answer

Probs not great to lead people on in youve got no interest in them but still doesn't stop me from doing it anyway oops

Sophie_111 · Answer

lolll I've done that but i think its ok if they know ur not into them and theyre not into u but if they are then its mean

Kinogo · Answer

As long as you let them know you're not interested in them, it's ok. Try not to confuse the person into thinking you're interested in them when you're not.

jen_phils · Answer

If you're leading someone on, then yes. If it's all in good fun then I say no. I'm terrible at flirting so I'm probably not the right person to answer this.

Secret6620 · Answer

I have to be honest and say it's bad but I totally do it. 💙😇

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Because that is not real flirt, what do you think would happen if they develop real love for you because you were play flirting and had no idea? They're not going to like it if you tell them that. That just gives people issues.

sean1234 · Answer

It might be possible to flirt with a girl and not realize it, but then again, that just might be the womans assumption that the guy is flirting when he is not.

spartan55 · Answer

I think it's a shit thing to to if you have no intention of following through. Sport flirts deserve to be thrown in mud puddle.

Billie_ · Answer

I do it all the time. Flirting is fun! But I wouldn’t ever flirt with someone I don’t see myself with as that’d give off the wrong impression and that’s mean.

Larajeanfake · Answer

I think it's wrong. Flirting or dating while bored is putting the other person's feelings or heart at risk for the sake of you're boredom. I wouldn't recommend it.

winterfox10 · Answer

Eh... As long as you aren't disrespecting anyone by doing it.

Haelaeix123 · Answer

Nah I dont think so, so long as your both into it and having fun then why not

swirlberrypizza · Answer

Yeah, especially if that person grows feelings for you or already has feelings for you - it's not fair.

scotty01 · Answer

If your single and flirting ok. If you have a boyfriend and solid relationship then no. You should only flirt with a guy if you like him and your single. If he’s single too well you could have a date then.

Anonymous · Answer

What could possibly be bad about it? Flirting is just flirting. I often do it when I´m bored.

Porcelaine · Answer

As long as you do it in a way that doesn't make them think you're interested. flirting is ok, just don't lead anyone on out of boredom

Amanda269 · Answer

Flirting is the telltale sign of interest, so you would be leading them on and disappoint them.

Anonymous · Answer

Ok, Ok, I know it’s bad and I’m a terrible person but I usually do it when I’m super bored and I wake up thinking “WhaTDAFaCK”

Anonymous · Answer

Only if they think you're being serious. If they know you're not being serious then it's okay.

yuenjanson · Answer

Friendly flirting is fine, but just make sure you make it clear that you're not into them.

Lightning8 · Answer

Well it needs to be honest if you do. Otherwise they'll just think you're insulting them

Ginageorge · Answer

Yes because you’re deceiving them and making them think you’re interested in them when you’re not

the_imperfectionist · Answer

yes, especially if they actually have feelings for you.

Anonymous · Answer

I think so, especially if you have no serious intentions. Is like playing with the hopes of another person who might get interested. That’s not nice!

Doodabeat · Answer

If you're not attracted to someone you shouldn't flirt with them.

Ordinarygurl_ · Answer

Yeah it’s not good to lead people on because they’ll feel hurt later

zagor · Answer

If you have no intention of fucking them then you shouldn't flirt.

TheAmazingDoggo · Answer

I don't think so, as long as you don't make them uncomfortable or anything

Anonymous · Answer

yep, the other person might get the wrong message. one time I ended up in a one night stand because of my reckless flirting

ColHathi · Answer

Not inherently bad, but leading someone on would be bad.

Anonymous · Answer

I'll answer this with another question. Is it ok to hit on girl talk to her and mid conversation get up and go talk to a more attractive woman that has just entered tbe room?

Ayer93 · Answer

It's definitely not a good thing to do, however it's certainly not the most evil thing in the world.

bklynbadboy1 · Answer

So when you flirt with these people because your bored you dont actually like them

ElvenMr · Answer

Don't think it's bad, unless you are just playing with the poor guy for your own amusement aka you are bored so you play him.

I-Wondoer · Answer

Yes it is and can definitely mislead a person into thinking you actually like them when you don't

Dsg1193 · Answer

Yeah. Especially if they may be interested and you know you don’t feel the same way.
