Yeah, I would, as I think it’s the most respectful and reasonable thing to do if you’re in a relationship or if you’re seeing someone. If you go on a date with someone, even if it’s one date, you’re seeing someone. If you like the person and care for them, it shouldn’t be hard to not talk to or flirt with others of the opposite sex. There shouldn’t be a big debate or argument on this, so if there is then the man or woman arguing with you on this is probably not the right person if it’s so hard for them to follow this.




I would want my woman to do the same

[musicloverr8]

Yeah I guess that would depend also on the commitment level of the relationship

[Miristheiss]

I have boundaries.

I don't get too friendly, hang out alone with single women, I don't flirt and I don't invite any personal talk.

I'm friendly with people but I have boundaries.
If I ever started to feel a little tingle and attraction for someone I'd cut them out of my life. I wouldn't indulge it and hang out more with them.

Hi, interesting response. What if you're in a relationship, and you may have met someone who you might like more. You're not sure if your current relationship will work so you don't want to burn the bridge with your next potential lover. Would you still cut them off out of respect for your current girlfriend? Even if you knew maybe it wasn't going to work out and that you were really attracted to The Other Woman?
I'm not in a relationship currently so I'm very open to discussing things with guys and making guy friends and such. If I was in a relationship I think I would still want to be friendly, but with boundaries like you said. I guess the reason I'm asking is because there's this guy that I was attracted to you and I could tell he was attracted to me but he always avoided me and turns out I see he has a girlfriend. But it's not like I was going to steal him from his girlfriend or something he could have been a little friendly just as a person

[Miristheiss]

Why are you getting feelings for other people in the first place?
That only happens when you start spending a lot of time with someone and getting to know them.
If you have good boundaries you stay clear of people if they start to potentially interfere or damage your relationship.
You don't hang out and spend lots of time with those you are getting crushes on. That is unfaithful.
If you are so unsure of your mate and so sure you want to be with them... do you both a favor and just break up.

[Andres77]

I do.
Nothing good can come from "having friends" of the opposite sex, in my opinion.
My wife agrees.
We have mutual friends.
Chat and witty banter in here is as far as I go.
There's a sales rep that shows up at work on occasion. So attractive, very smiley towards me. I don't have to be the guy to help her so when I see her I go do other stuff... I just don't need the temptation. Not that she'd do anything either but if I ever talk to her she stays in my head all day and I just don't need that.

I don't suddenly go blind, or avoid talking to my female friends, or any other woman I may happen to meet, simply because I'm in a relationship. I wouldn't even date a girl who wanted me to do that, since it would indicate both trust and self-esteem issues on her part.

[musicloverr8]

That's interesting yeah I agree, you can't pretend like other people don't exist but you do have to control your reactions especially when you're around that person from what I've learned. When I was with my ex boyfriend he would always flirt and check out girls in front of me and it really hurt me I felt so disrespected at times. Sometimes I get glare. By wives when their husbands are friendly with me even though the age Gap between me and their husbands is just unreasonable and I would never feel their husbands or something but they still seem super jealous or something

[loveslongnails]

You're describing a big flaw in HIS character. Doing those things in front of you is indeed disrespectful, but it says more than just that - it's a real red flag.

[musicloverr8]

Yeah it sure is :|

[loveslongnails]

Knowing this, if a girl chooses to stay with a boy like that, she would have no reason to complain about his behavior - ever. There are ways to acknowledge the beauty of others without making your special girl feel like she's not good enough. There are millions of beautiful women, and men, everywhere you look, who are not your partners. Denying they exist is silly, but making your partner feel they're inadequate, is disgraceful.

[RHK36]

Depending on how serious the relationship is I'll still talk to any girl. I just won't cheat on her or spend more time with a new girl than the girl I'm in a relationship with already. I'll be friends with her, but I'm not hitting on her or trying to get with her.

[Anonymous]

talk as friends and that's it. i don't meet other women in person. i've had several women who wanted me to meet them out of state and i wouldn't. it's like this. if someone cheats on their partner with you what makes you think they would stay faithful to you and not cheat on you as well with someone else. and what does that say about the person's character or the type of person they are. no loyalty no honor no respect no dignity no decency lack of morals and good judgement. that's not how a real man or a real woman acts and behaves.

[musicloverr8]

I didn't mean necessarily cheating but just talking to people of the other sex

[Nik1hil]

When my girl is not around I will avoid them...

But when my girl Is around.. I will definitely not avoid them..

And make her worried and jealous that I might get stolen, so she places more efforts in our relationship

[ArrowheadSW]

There are a lot of women who I hang out with and who I am friends with. So when I'm in a relationship, the woman has to understand that.

[DaveJord]

I don't avoid attractive women who show an interest. Their relationship isn't my problem.

[snackthatsmilesback]

No. What? I got her with some effort, how am I gonna get another one passively? And if one does randomly show interest I can just say no. 🥮🍂

[spartan55]

Why in the world would I avoid other women?

[NathanDavis]

no, I am not Mike Pence

[Guanfei]

Avoid? No. I just don't flirt.

[FunkyMonkee]

Romantically, yes.

[Relux47]

Yeah
