I know they don't. I have no desire to do it.

You can flirt with someone without being sexually attracted to the person, you might flirt with someone because they have a great personality....JMO

Well, you could replace mother Teresa in that case, with out a doubt.
Believe me, people like you are rare and normally don't hang around dating sites.
I apologize for being too straight forward.

So Barren you never walk down the street with your partner and say my look she is a beauty or has a nice figure?

I don't believe you for a minute.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with simply looking.
It is about trust and knowing your relationship is solid.

Bye the way, 'I don't agree with you young lady.' sounds like my father and I can only deal with one of them!



But thanks for the 'young.'

I agree Morgan...I think it's very disrespectful to your partner...unless you both do it and have agreed it doesn't bother you so won't effect your relationship in any way...anyway I just plain wouldn't do it but that's me....I'd rather not have any doubt placed in a relationship where there doesn't need to be any....

I'll throw one in for the humor of it.....

this is a true occurrence cross my heart hope to die.....

went over for a day with my ex wife to the hip part of town to some shopping.

I had some errands to do so we agreed I'd pick her up along the main road at a later stage.

When I was done, i drove down the road, and lo and behold, there walking down the side was this incredible tourist lady with one of the most incredible outfits around.....so I obviously eyed her well from top to bottom as I drove by.....

not noticing that on the other side of the road was my ex waving and jumping up and down to try and get my attention.....

needless to say.....once picked up all hell broke loose.....but nothing that an extension of her shopping budget couldn't fix.....

replace mother Teresa don't think so. I didn't say I was perfect so don't ruin my reputation now. I'm also not afraid to admit I have flaws because I have plenty.

And if anyone ever thinks they are perfect and say they have no flaws then they're full of it.

If I don't flirt then what I do can't be taken the wrong way is all. I just chose not to do it.

I make it clear to any man I date that I'm a flirt. It's who I am. I have male friends that I greet with a hug and a peck on the lips. Many are married, and I greet their wives next with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Those I greet that way that are single are like brothers to me, and it's the kiss of brother/sister.

On here, I flirt. I don't let it go past certain boundaries here any more than I do in real life. But I think flirting is healthy. And if your partner is also a flirt, and you've both talked about it and agreed to be able to continue being who you are (for after all, that's what attracted you anyway, was who the person is), and to discuss it if there is a problem...then nobody else has any business having a problem with it. Period.

And just stating my opinion, not taking it as anything personal from anyone. I feel that way for all couples, on here and in real life. So long as it's okay between the two halves of the couple, then it's okay. Period. If someone else has a problem with it, that's your problem. JMO.

AND the moral of the story is...you might miss something important while turned around looking the other wayyyyyyyy....and it could be hard on the wallet in the end.....

Yep...that's my point. If you've both agreed it's okay, then it's okay. If both people are flirts by nature, one can't expect that nature to change just because of being in a relationship. So long as it never gets out of hand, or goes too far, then it's all okay.

yep...you always end up paying in the end....

Sure...it depends on the individuals doll....

I most certainly do not. Not even when I am alone never mind in her presence. I am just not wired that way. Imagine that I have her perfect portrait tatooed upon my irises and you may get the idea. Never, not once have I ever said anything of the sort, nor thought it alone or with my Love.
And you are young sweetheart, as young as your heart. And I have heard it singing of late so it appears you are having a reemergence of a second youth.

Absolutely. And I can't date someone who doesn't understand that...and usually, they're a flirt too, if they match well with me.
Got to be able to have fun and be me. I've tried relationships with those that didn't understand. Hated it.

I remember in college, I was talking to a male friend of mine, and we shared a joke, and he put his arm around me to give my shoulders a friendly squeeze...and I froze, wondering who saw that, and who was watching me to report it to my fiance. He'd let me know someone on campus was, 'cuz he knew everything I did...and he would not have tolerated that. Needless to say, that was an engagement that didn't last much longer.

My parents both taught me well while growing up...it's okay to look, and it's okay to flirt...but it's not okay to touch. That's where the line is drawn. (And they didn't mean "not hug", they meant cheat.) I come by this side of me naturally!

In regards to my own affliction or perhaps lack thereof, I have no jealousy in regards to the woman of my affection flirting. Harmlessly of course as there are distinct lines that should not be crossed.
I do not believe I own anyone and that they remain free to do as they will. It does not hurt me or slight me in the least for her to hug someone else, or smile at someone or to point out some feature that they find attractive. I just do not have the same ability as for me Love is not blind but it does make me very blinded to all but the One.

Oh yes I agree....BUT I would rather my partner flirt with me...now I guess it depends on what you call flirting...I have no problem with laughing and joking...but anything serious sounding...does bother me...So I am the opposite...I would rather date someone who respects me enough to at least know and respect my limits....

I most certainly do not. Not even when I am alone never mind in her presence. I am just not wired that way. Imagine that I have her perfect portrait tatooed upon my irises and you may get the idea. Never, not once have I ever said anything of the sort, nor thought it alone or with my Love.

My heart is singing again Barren because of a new romance...yep a bit like second youth. Actually, no better this time around.
As the guy in question said...'call it sixth second,I am his woman' and it was meant to be!

Wht is my quote box not working on my last post?

on the other hand....

one girlfriend who happened a bit after my separation was of a totally different nature.....

while driving around town we used to eye up any 'possibles' and categorize them into three groups.....

the non-fuckables
the fuckables
and the plenty fuckables

sometimes it went one step further....if we were out partying, we would cfreate a competition between us......pick an unsuspecting object of desire and see who would be the first to succeed......

possibly cruel......but fun....especially the afterparty session....

naughty..but nice....

depending on your partner as stated above in other posts....
