Is some flirting to me expected when you spend time with married friends of the opposite sex?
Both my husband and I have friends of the opposite sex we have had for years or know from work or groups we belong to. Because most of them are really friendly, nice, attractive and young and a member of the opposite sex, when we get together there is a little innocent flirting. We know nothing is going to happen and the flirting is harmless. (Isn’t it?)
Married People: When you get together with friends of the opposite sex do you flirt or not?

Flirting can lead to more serious things. Do not flirt with anyone you do not want to have a relationship with as it is just a waste of your time and theirs. I am happily married and do not flirt and no one in our group does either.

Most of the time NO, it’s called RESPECT….how do you really know nothing is going to happen and that the other person isn’t going to take you seriouslly…..are you all real friends or pretend friends? Me and my hubby have similar friends, young, successful, and attractive like us. We usuallly get together at each others homes with our kids or a local club, bowling alley, movies, whatever….when we flirt, and we both love to flirt…we flirt with strangers, or ppl at work. Not anyone we see consistently or know personally….the lines can get crossed…..you never know when someones spouse will get jealous…can you say DRAMA!

I only flirt when i want too bang some one so in my case it would be too dangerous.

DYou’re asking if i cheat on my wife emotionally? no, i don’t flirt with other women. And the reason why i don’t flirt is because it’s not harmless.

We are both uncomfortable with flirting, so no – but we actually have no desire to do it anyway. Personally I question whether flirting actually is ‘harmless’, but it’s all about what is right for your individual marriage and situation.

It happens quite often with our close friends. Who cares really? It adds to the fun of being with people. I’m not insecure, neither is he, and neither are our friends either because they give it as much as we do.

No, I don’t flirt with my male friends and they don’t flirt with me. It’s not smart. There are appropriate boundaries that married people must respect, and flirting with other people is outside the bounds of appropriate behavior.

I flirt, so does my wife. That is why we are still together, we both get the excitment out of it.

There is no such thing as a little innocent flirting to a man. Why would anybody risk losing a good friendship for a little flirting here and there. Why not joke around, leaving out anything that could be misconstrued by those around you. If you like someone well enough to want to flirt with them, then you can bet someone is expecting (hoping) that it will turn into someething more later down the line.

Let me tell you something. I started off my marriage wrong by allowing another “friend” in our social group to flirt with me. He would stare me down, bump into me, rush to open doors, and always seem to “be there to help out” when the hubby wasn’t available. He studied what I was missing and filled in the gap straight away. Flirting back was inevitable after awhile, and next thing you know, he was telliing me about times he cried and how he missed me when I wasn’t there. The “friendship” felt nice when my marriage was on the rocks, but what I didn’t realize is that it was part of keeping my marriage on the rocks. Let the flirting jerk go! Seduction from third parties has no place in a healthy marriage. I am so glad to say it didn’t go any further than flirting, but it still affected my relationship with my husband and I’m sorry for ever being led away into that mess. Save your affections for your spouse I beg you. We are doing much better now that he is not our “friend” anymore. He is back to his miserable marriage, and Misery is always looking for company.
