Implied or Just a Tease
Flirting, implied interest in the other person is sincere and involves the real possibility of a s*xual relationship.In teasing, the intent is insincere. The teaser uses personal charm (words, jokes, gestures, touch) to excite the other, exerting power over that person, but all the recipient gets is confusion, frustration, and possibly embarrassment.
Which is which? Is it okay to do either of this when you have a "serious" relationship?

Boring topic, sah?...hehe...
Combination of both woud be ok I suppose...
Can't always be too serious all the time in the relationship
A spice in the relationship ... maybe could work for some.
It is hurtful to the partner when the other one is teasing or flirting with another when in a relationship. Personally, I won't allow my partner to this and definitely I will do the same. Socialization is very okay, but not teasing/flirting.
Teasing on our love of our life Ateh is the way to be. Not outside of a relationship. I like teasing my partner too...
That Teasing an-a Flirting can just wear a person out!!! Whew!!! Especially last night for me.. I didnt get enough
Tease?
Yeah, teasing...
You can tease a bit but not necesarly talking only if your at distance form the person. Me i let my body language tease when im around my man..he he!
For ex when im the kithen i always drop things and i bend to pick them up and if you wear some nice shorts or a skirt ..he will be tesed dont worry!
How u flirt Lol! when youre single
I never tease deliberately. I can't see the point of it.
A body language tease, that's nice. We all do that esp us women. It feels good also when the teasing is appreciated and reciprocated.
Al, even the wild cat could be tame. You just have to find the right possible way.
The answer in my opinion is a big No - if your in a serious relationship you cannot be flirting with someone else - it's disrespectful, deceiving & says so much much about your own personal character.
Flirting is a big NO to me also when I am in a relationship. It has never been okay in my book and it never will.
I got to admit that I am kind of flirtatious person, but if I am taking a serious commitment with someone then I will put a limit on myself for sure
Lachi, Thank you for the valuable input.
Understanding and respecting your partner when involve with someone, are two of the keys to have a lasting relationship. And again I agree with you, the two of you should be clear of the limits, the extent and the rules of flirting so as not to be mislead you both into something inappropriate or could ruin the relationship in the future.
