I read somewhere that flirting is natural and actually healthy whether you are in a relationship or not. I mean whats wrong with a little flirting now and then? even if you have a relationship, its no big deal as long as it is not in front of your partner. But i think most people are bothered by it.. what do you think?

If you are in the relationship and trying to flirt thats an act of unfaithfulness.And everyone are almost like that.being insensitive.maybe its because thats the trend of new generations.too liberated and free.i just hope,out of 10 relationships, there is still one partner who can be able to manage faitfulness in front/at the back of their partners.

Even if I say yes that flirting is ok even when you are in a relationship, I still feel awkward doing it. There's that feeling that it isnt right to flirt knowing you have a boyfriend or husband somewhere. Even if others will say it's harmless or you are not doing anything wrong, dont u feel guilty anyway still at the end?

well, it is difficult for a man to ignore a pretty lady, so maybe it is no use for a man not to flirt! hehe but for a woman it is in her nature to want to attract amn right? it all seems natural but you gotta watch out for your temptations!

Flirting is harmless, providing that's all it is, if you're in a relationship. The problem is that it seems that so many people can't say "no" to temptation anymore. Harmless flirting to someone who's "no" response is not functioning as it should be can easily turn into cheating.

I think little harmless flirting can't be that bad. I would not flirt openly infront of my partner, because I would not want to hurt his feelings. Besides, I don't flirt much with the geeks I see out there. Yech! In my world, my bf is already the best!! hhehehhee

Flirting is generally harmless. As long as you know when to stop and aren't actually trying to make the flirtation go further there should be no problem, however if your partner thinks you should not be doing it you need to discuss it with them and come up with a compromise.

i think flirting is not bad at all especially if your partner is not around,, hehe just kidding.. bt honestly it is better not to flirt with sumbody especially when you are in a relationship cause there somehow you'll have this guilt feeling. besides being faithful to your partner will help ur relationship last longer.if one does cheat on you at least it was not you who did it. you know to yourself that you are good after all..
