Only if you have absolutely no intentions on taking it anywhere and rejecting any ideas that they give about taking it somewhere.
I’ll approach and flirt with married women for practice when I see girls who aren’t married. Gorgeous girls can be intimidating so I don’t let my game rust. If I know I’m going to get rejected, the pressure is much lowers and I can just focus on good conversation and flirting.
But I always point out the ring at the end of the conversation. When I ask for the number and she offers it, I’ll go “Oh wait. Sorry. I didn’t see the wedding ring.” After that I refuse the number no matter what’s said.
I say it’s fine as long as you don’t try to take it somewhere

If you are single, you are technically doing nothing wrong because you aren't commited to anyone, unless you are religious or your morals prohibit it. The one in the wrong is the one in a relationship flirting or flirting back. There is no reason to flirt if you are in a relationship. If you are genuinely attracted to other people on more than just a physical level, then you need to rethink your relationship. If your partner is okay with flirting, then that's a different matter.
No it's never OK in my book. This is something I don't understand in western culture. I don't understand how flirting can be seen so casually.
The aim of flirting is to get the sexual attention of someone else. It's the first step towards cheating and is extremely disrespectful to your husband /wife.
I know for a fact my father wouldn't tolerate it if my mom flirted with other men and my mother wouldn't toleratr it if my dad flirted with other women.
If you're in a committed relationship you shouldn't be sexually inviting people or asking for their sexual attention even if you don't do any sex, it's not a "joke".
No. Maybe I'm a realist, but why flirt with someone that's unattainable or already dating someone?
It seems like a waste of time and energy to me. Not to mention misleading.

If you were in a relationship, would it be okay for someone else to flirt with your SO?
honestly, if I look back at it, I flirted with taken girls because I did not know they were taken in the first place. I did it, they responded (or vice-versa) and the "game was on the way". And given the flirtatious "beginning" , we kept flirting.
I do not remember flirting with girls that I met and whom made it clear they have a boyfriend/husband. Or at least it wasn't me initiating in these cases and did not sustain/prolong it.
I believe I helped one girl get out of a very toxic relationship, but nothing happened between us, not even after it went bust for them as a couple. She ended up with some dude. And I'm ok with that. I just wanted sex anyway and I can get that easily. And I don't think she was the only one.
So the flirting is not really a problem, but maybe what takes us there and what we are looking to get out of it.
Maybe flirting helps some people realize what they are missing in their relationship or that they are not happy where they are in life, that a change is needed, that the grass is actually greener. In some cases they already made up their mind, but they just wait for a strong reason to step out of it, they need reassurance for that final leap.
Flirting is essentially a longing for attention, a sign that it's not completely alright and something needs to be done, one way or another.
Being with someone for years, you tend to overlook some things, put them in background and try to make it work yourself without discussing with the partner or simply try to ignore the issue, but left unsolved will create the cracks in your relationship, which will eventually make it crumble. Flirting just speeds up that process if that is the case OR save the relationship.
It's a complex thing, but I've seen both sides and yes I've seen "positives". For example, I know some girls in relationships with whom I was flirting heavily (from the start), turned to hardcore flirting and they ended up marrying their bfs. Nothing more happened between us than sharing a drink and the flirting. They seem happy now and I did step back to avoid any issues. Did not hear of any wrong moves outside their marriages. So maybe, that flirting was some sort of a test their relationships passed/survived.
Now I do not understand those getting physical while in a relationship. If you made up your mind to leave, do that first and then have fun, but don't drag your partner in a mess. Avoid complications, leave with your head up.
If you plan to stay in your relationship, but also want to have some extra physical fun on the side, then that is low.
I've met this girl lately and we hit it off flirting hard as I did not know she's with someone. And we kept going, but for me this seems to have gotten closest to having sex with someone already in a relationship. And I honestly can't tell if they are just swingers and accept this as part of who they are or if she is looking to cheat & lie on her partner with me.
And how should I bring this to discussion with her is another question.
Some people see the above as "well, they are going to cheat anyway, so why not have some fun, it's not your problem what happens afterwards", but my brain tells me otherwise and to stay cautious.IT'S NEVER OKAY! Firstly, you're disrespecting their relationship and affecting it in some way regardless of its small or if the person doesn't leave them for you. It's never harmless. Don't indulge in it and be that person who comes between two people. Because, it means you're interested in them so if they're allowing you to do so even if they aren't flirting back, it means they're giving you a window of opportunity. You're getting more attached to someone you can never have it makes no sense. Plus if you're into that person they're going to be flirting with you while they go home to their partner and love/sleep with them. So, you're gonna end up hurt cause you clearly have feelings. Even if you say that you wouldn't be jealous or hurt, you're only human and you will be. It's best not to take part in something like this and I always backed off when I'm into someone who's taken. I'd never want my partner to encourage something like that and so I'd never do it.
I can’t speak for girls but for guys if a guy flirts than that means he’s interested. And by interested I mean he wants what pretty much every guy wants from a girl he finds attractive. And that’s even if he’s in a relationship. It’s like a weird programming in all guys we do it even when we don’t realize it. Flirt or be nice to attractive women. It’s all subconscious and built in our DNA. But to answer the question I don’t think it’s alright to flirt with somebody while either they or you are in a relationship.
I am inclined to think C - You probably have to be very nuanced about it - In life a lot of social/sexual/romantic politics works at a subconscious level - Some people are just flirty and never take it any further, if everybody subconsciously on board, you see a lot of innocent flirting going on.
It only becomes possibly crossing any line if the flirtation is based on serious attraction and growing intent to do something about it but that is a whole different debate.
As I said earlier, everybody has to be on board, flirting with an uptight settled person to rattle them would be a mean thing to doI'm getting married Saturday and I still flirt, I've toned it down big time but still quite flirtatious its my nature. As long as neither person goes too far with it all is good. I always let someone know if they are getting close to the edge of line and need to step way back.
I don't know anybody that sometime in there relationship that they wouldn't nothing wrong with a little flirting as long as it was words everybody needs the feeling being wanted a little chip on their shoulder give them the feeling that they still got it for instance me knowing and if I wanted to that I could give me that orgasm knowing I still had the thrill and excitement of the hunt I guess catch and release can be just as satisfying without actually cheating some people might say it's cheating but anybody says they don't look or fantasize get rid of them only going to hurt you in the long run we're human we're animals the acting pursuing and going through the motions of the Kill. That happens love isn't there. love 2 huge word and broad spectrum ask yourself you loves him or her or are you in love big difference
As dumb as my answer might sound, yeah and here's why. Firstly, if they flirt back it has nothing to do with you, they decided to, you didn't force them. Secondly, if you really do some harm, they're relationship wasn't that strong to start with and thirdly, just because we flirt doesn't necessarily mean that I really want you. I might be practicing my flirt skills.
I don't think it is okay. You doing that is disregarding how the other person might feel if they spot that. There is one thing if someone doesn't care about that kind of behavior, but that usually is not the case.
To be honest, it is a little disrespectful if you ask me.It is just flirting. A lot of guys at GaG really need practice at just being a flirt. Everything is always so serious. They go hit on a girl and it is all or nothing. Either they hit a home run or they strike out.
How about just focus on hitting singles for a little while?
As for women, I think most flirt a lot.The only time it's okay is if the person who is in the relationship is the one initiating. I know that people are going to think I'm an asshole for saying this, but the reality is that people in relationships need to take steps on their own, to ensure that their environment and behavior are conducive to having a healthy relationship.
Once i know a girl is taken i don't flirt with her
I have a Therapist who is age 23 and the last
meeting she was telling me Happy Thanksgiving
but i notice she tried to get me to flirt with her
and i never done it cause she got a boyfriend
she is very pretty but i can't do anything and
i refuse to give her compliments cause that
would be over boundaries.There is innocent flirting and not so innocent flirting. If it becomes obsessive with one person and overtly sexual and some sort of "relationship" develops, then it's not OK. Teasing someone at a party is light entertainment.
I think it's fine as long as her and the boyfriend don't take it seriously. But being playful with each other can be funny
Depends on your intentions. If your joking it’s whatever. But if you are trying to get together with them, really need to wait till their out of their relationship. Don’t start unnecessary drama for someone in a relationship.
I used to do it a lot, just for fun and to make her feel good... some would stop me because they're in a relationship, some would appreciate it, some would flirt back.
Until the last time, it got out of hands and went way bigger than i thought it would be, and she cheated on her boyfriend🙄
So i guess it really depends on the someone who is in the relationship of it would be okay to just flirt or if it would turn to something moreIt is disrespectful to his partner.
Don't do to others what you don't want happening to you.
I rest my case.💃I’m a naturally flirty individual. It doesn’t mean anything more. If I had a boyfriend, he would have to understand that.
It's always ok, I have zero obligation towards them or their partner.
If they choose to flirt back or even dump their partner for me, that's their personal responsibility.It's fine as long as it is consensual by both, that someone who you are flirting with and his/her partner. It really dictates how open and trust worthy relationship that someone and his/her partner has. Ofc I don't need to tell you that the flirting is ought to be healthy.
