Is flirting cheating?

[Anonymous]

I know this has been asked a million times but I think it is because no one would flirt with someone they thought was unattractive. engaging in conversation is okay but when you continue to compliment something and them i think it’s odd.

my partner and I relationship is good I just want to see everyone opinion lol

[Browneye57]

Everyone flirts. Mature adults understand what to act on.
Flirting is one thing, an emotional affair is something else - that's confiding your most inner feelings the thoughts to a third party instead of your SO - THAT is cheating. In many cases, an emotional affair turns into a sexual or physical affair when the parties actually meet up - a lot of pent up sexual tension.

Cheating is carrying on with a third party with anything you wouldn't want your SO to know about.

[OlderAndWiser]

Forget the word cheating because people just play games about something is not "technically" cheating so it doesn't count. . . and that's stupid. Here's the real question: Whatever you are doing, would you do it if your partner was present? Do you tell your partner about it or do you keep it secret? If it's something that you keep hidden from your partner, then you are violating their trust, and you know it.

[rcljr]

Yeah, like , she “ accidentally fell on a guys hardon and it went right up her vagina, all by accident, so it’s not technically cheating.

[OlderAndWiser]

I always laugh when someone writes that they "accidentally" cheated.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[Browneye57]

Or they got drunk and cheated, like that's some kind of excuse. LOL
"Oh, I just didn't mean to do that!" Riiiiiggghhhhhtttt...

[Oddi_211]

I don‘t think so. Obviously it depends to what extent it goes. But some light fun flirting is good. Makes you feel free and know what you have is better anyway. So I was more satisfied being in a relationship and being with her when I flirted a little with others.

[Asker]

yeah, I don’t think some flirting isn’t bad unless the intentions are bad knowing you’re with someone.

[Asker]

& knowing *

[Oddi_211]

Yeah. I was okay with my girlfriend flirting. I trusted her. It‘s just talking

[Asker]

yeah i’m i bet you flirt too don’t you when she’s not around lol?

[Oddi_211]

Yeah but we also used to when around. She used to tell me like look at that girls cleavage she is hot. Or we checked out asses together. She let me dance with other girls sometimes. Just needs to fit the time and place.

[Oddi_211]

It seems like you are a bit flirty tho without your boyfriend around :D i think it is fine

[Asker]

i’ll flirt a little but i wouldn’t text them or such.

[DianaWest]

i think men in relationships should just mind their own business. i have guys with girlfriends always flirt with me, and somehow i'm the bad guy who receives their girlfriends' death glares. if a man is in a relationship and he talks too much with me and is always around me and overtly nice, i just straight up ask him, "you want a side bitch or a plan b for when your girlfriend gets tired of you?"

[Asker]

please don’t curse and yesss i they get mad at me too it’s ridiculous lol

[JustAnj]

If you wonder this because of your own relationship, ask your partner instead of us.

Ask them if they consider flirting cheating or bad.

Then you will know where there is boundaries with yourself and partner.

You wouldn't want your partner stepping over your boundaries so have the conversation with them.

[Asker]

Iffffffff you think that’s the case next time don’t assume just ask. because me and him are fine. this quote just made me think about it and i need to be more involved in this app lol

[JustAnj]

A assumption would mean I would not indicate "If" I would simply indicate a statement.

Me commenting is not simply for you like I said "If" that's the issue.

It's for anyone who decides to roam this question. People should concept healthy patterns in relationships.

The end of your sentence made me laugh though, the app does confuse me a bit onto why involvement is so important but I am new so. 🤷

If it helps someone else why not.

[Asker]

lol i just want points so realized some people are funny and not all people are horny creeps. also okay my fault

[Death401k]

There are two types of cheating, emotional and physical. I’m not saying don’t have guy friends, but you “know” when what your doing is leading to feelings. And while that may not technically be cheating it will hurt your relationship. Best test is you, if you think what your doing might lead to feeling and you want to maintain a healthy relationship with your current partner, then don’t do it. Also that said despite your intentions, if what your doing with the person your flirting with might lead to them having feelings, and you don’t intend to reciprocate then you need to stop NOW!!!

[williamHD]

Light flirting not but flirting like I wanna. Get in bed with you no at that point one just needs to break up with their be/girlfriend unless your spending time with someone else and you know you have feelings for them at that point break up with your boyfriend/girlfriend

[serious]

Depends on the relationship status of the person. If the person is single then if the person doesn't mind flirting or has a flirty nature then it is fine but if the person is in an exclusive relationship then flirting can indicate an intention to cheat.

Of course it would also depend on whether it is only verbal flirting or involving physical touch as well.

Hence the answer is both YES and NO depending on the relationship status of the person.

That is what I think.

[Fuentes]

Depends if ur giving out your your number or conversing with that same person on social media platforms outside of where u. met them and continuing it til it obviously and eventually leads to something, then yeah once you cheat it will be premeditated cheating.

[Wiredone]

Im married but I flirt all the time. My wife knows it and sometimes I do it in front of her. Like if I see a woman that I know when I'm with my wife, I'll say " hey sexy, don't you look good today" and strike up a conversation. Of course if they don't know my wife I would introduce them to her.
It's just how I am. I've been like this forever and my wife knows it. I would never cheat on my wife.

[HawkPerception]

Of course. Cheating is basically doing anything you wouldn't do with others in front of your partner.

[Sarahr123]

It is cheating because they’re somewhat interested in the person or physically attracted to them. I wouldn’t flirt with someone if I were repulsed by them or didn’t find them attractive.

[Wisdom-Strength-Love]

if you think about them later in a sexual or affectionate way, especially when those thoughts outweigh thinking about your sig other.

shit is the gateway drug

[NicoleNatZZ]

No hahah im married and flirting help pays for the drinks haha

[Vivian7k]

Do you tell your partner about it or do you keep it secret? If it's something that you keep hidden from your partner, then you are violating their trust, and you know it.

[Adam1978]

No but why are you doing it? Narcissistic reasons? it's certainly not to be fair to the other guy. If you have no plan to go anywhere with it. So either way it's really a bad behavior pattern.

[ChrisMaster69]

I naturally flirt with people, it’s not hitting on them, it not usually even sexual, it’s just a thing.

[horribleshk]

I do not think it is cheating, but it is not exactly right to do it.

[worldscolide]

The way i see it, even though it is not technically cheating, it leads to cheating. If i saw my wife doing that, i would file for divorce immediately.

[Mikeysoda]

Depends on your partner's definition of cheating and you alls agreement in your relationship.

[WowwGirl]

I flirt with everyone women , men, even gay men. I've 100% never been attracted to a woman or a gay man

[ChrisMaster69]

@WowwGirl exactly the same (apart from attracted to women bit lol)

[Boaz1208]

Not to me. Girls tell me I flirt all the time, I am just trying to be nice. Thats why I have to be super careful at work cause I just got promoted and my mentor told me to watch myself big time.

[ARealHonestHuman]

Flirting is cheating when its not your girlfriend, wife, fiance. Overall its not.

[exitseven]

I have been known to flirt a little. I don;t think it is cheating.

[crazy8000]

Depends how you see it.

Personal do I see it as a thing we shouldn't do and looks bad.
Not cheating.

[rcljr]

Absolutely it is, and very disrespectful of your partner.

[Genius21]

I would say if you in a relationship and your girl likes girls as well let her flirt with her as well don't let it just be you because when you love someone you respect them

[sparklerain]

It's cheating. If you're in a relationship and you flirt with other people

[peyite65]

Yes it is because you are expressing your interest in that other person

[KrakenAttackin]

Yes. Flirting implies sexual interest in another person. How would you feel about your man doing serious flirting with another woman.

[007kingifrit]

yea flirting is cheating. don't flirt when in a relationship

[Wise4myage]

Its cheating in my opinion if the flirting becomes sexual and very overt.

[Badzo]

Its yes for me but I dont know why. It makes me jealous

[the_kisses_of_sun]

I realise there are prettier girls than me out there. So it's not cheating.

[Asker]

lol don’t say that. you’re pretty in your own way!! haven’t you seen couples where the other person is “unattractive”

[Abdulwahh]

In my opinion know flirting doesn't always mean we will take action its normal for both sexes to flirt

[Krewvinator]

Yeah. Flirting is what you do when you have a physical or emotional attraction to someone. And most the time it progresses or you want it to.

[TheAfrikan]

Flirting is part of life never have it ever been cheating.

[Anonymous]

the only one i flirt with is my significant other. i tell them they're hot it helps build their confidence up which of course they are hot

[Opinion Owner]

would you flirt with another guy in front of your boyfriend or significant other? if you would then that's blantantly disrespectful. if you don't have the vagina or ovaries to do it in front of him then yeah it is cheating

[maxdf]

It tottaly depends who serious the flirting was and how serolius your relationship is

[Alyssa11]

Anything your partner wouldn’t like is betrayal.

[Asianguy123]

Yes I think it’s cheating. You have to tell him to stop

[Paris13]

Being way TOO OVERFRIENDLY. xx

[The-Wise-Phoenix]

Not really but you are treading on thin ice.

[dileep85]

It’s the first step for cheating.

[Gramkabir]

You tell me is sexting cheating?

[rcljr]

Yes it is

[Gramkabir]

@rcljr then watching porn and masturbating is also porn...

[Gramkabir]

I meant cheating*

[iamsafespace]

Not to me.

[JesseCraft07]

Yes just be loyal

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

Why wouldn't it be

[Slim57]

Yes it is
