1. harmless fun

:7

[ceile]

2. Harmless fun

But only if it's me doing the flirting. The SO is not allowed. ;)

[Guava Jelly]

7. I like the way you think

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

3. I never flirt.

4. Depends

...on your definition of flirting.

[salin]

21. and motivations.

there is harmless flirting and there is pointed (with intent for more) flirting. The first is harmless. The second is sorta like looking for trouble with the hope of a response to 'okay' acting on that intent (of more than flirtation.)

[Madspirit]

34. Exactly..

Those of us who have worked retail refer to innocent flirting as being like "good retail", just friendly bantering, not very sexually suggestive. If it gets very sexual it loses it's innocence.

6. Mostly harmless fun, but

if your flirting involves telling someone that you want to do such and such with them/to them, then that crosses a line.

[twilight_sailing]

8. Harmless fun if it is done right.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. I wouldn't know.

:evilgrin:

[leftofthedial]

14. harmless cheating

and fun

[Bucky]

16. Harmless fun, if by "flirting" you mean sneaking off to a motel and comparing naughty bits

in the dark. Once the lights come on... it's more that just flirting

[ohiosmith]

17. you nailed it. pun intended

[Withywindle]

18. Neither really...

More like "inevitable part of daily life." Deal with it. :evilgrin:

[kwassa]

19. the exact same as having sex with somebody.

Someone has to be a contrarian.

[SPKrazy]

22. Pfffffttttt!

Man you must be flirting better than me

or you aren't having very good sex!

:rofl:

[ohiosmith]

45. :

[wain]

20. One of the secrets of staying young

Is flirting! When that fades, you fade.
:)

[SPKrazy]

23. Mostly Harmless Fun

it certainly could be more than that

:shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

24. Harmless fun that can become cheating.

Flirting between mutually lonely people is practically guaranteed to turn into cheating.

[SPKrazy]

25. ...

ahhh shiddap!

:rofl:

you contrarian too!

:hi:

[Danger Mouse]

26. Sorry, I had to spoilt the party =P

But I honestly think in many cases, flirting can be quite harmful. Take it from someone who is a chronic cheater :P

[SPKrazy]

28. Okay

I'll give you that it can lead to more than flirting

and it can stay flirting

or maybe when there is "cheating" there isn't anything left to cheat from? :shrug: ?

[Danger Mouse]

30. I just think some people...are maybe hurting themselves...

by using flirtation to substitute for something that's missing from their lives.
But flirtation doesn't fill that need, and only furthers emptiness.

[SPKrazy]

31. I Now

despise you


no I don't


I agree to a point, it depends what you are calling flirtation too.

if flirtation is the means to an end of cheating, then what you're really talking about is not simple flirting.

now I despise you again



no I don't

:pals:

[Danger Mouse]

33. Haha, simultaneously making you think and ruining your fun...

it's why I'm a King among Lounge Losers :P

[SPKrazy]

35. Nahhh

takes more than that to ruin my fun

but I don't disagree with you completely

just mostly

and then again

mebbe I don't want to think either

ya ever think about that lounge loser!

:rofl:


:pals:

[Danger Mouse]

37. As long as I was a buzzkill for SOMEBODY, my work here is done =)

I triumph by making you not want to think but think that maybe you think you should be thinking! Try to unravel that one without thinking! Ha!

[SPKrazy]

38. To Find Your Heart

you must cut off your head


:freak:

[Danger Mouse]

39. I remain a cold, heartless entity with no compassion for the suffering of others.

My actions are governed by a merciless and cold logic which causes me to make puppies cry. I despise this thing that you humans call 'love' because I am incapable of understanding it. I despise it from the depths of my reptilian heart.

[SPKrazy]

40. ....

oh bullshit


I've seen inside your clown loving heart and know that you are in fact a compassionate person

that is a Chinese proverb regarding how to find your heart, stop thinking (cut off your head)

:pals:

[Danger Mouse]

41. I love only

SUFFER


I WILL DRINK YOUR BLOOD HUMAN!!@!11

[salin]

36. sure if the other relationship has formally ended

before teh flirtation takes that turn. That is does the other 'partner' in the relationship know that "there isn't anything left to cheat from?" If yes - then agreed. If not, then - the element of inflicting pain on another comes into the equation. All determinations are situational/contextual.

[ileus]

47. NO question about that!

[NewWaveChick1981]

27. Harmless fun...

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

29. That's Right!

:evilgrin:

;)

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

42. Absolutely!

:hi: :evilgrin: :loveya:

[SPKrazy]

48. We Could Always Have Pizza?

or ....

:evilgrin:

:loveya:


:rofl:

[Aristus]

32. NWC! How are you?

I was hoping to see you here tonight! :hi::hug:


Hey there, sexy... ;-) *flirt, flirt*

[NewWaveChick1981]

43. ...

I'm doing just fine, Aristus! :D Hope you are too...

Flirt right back.. :loveya: How's it hangin', hot stuff? :evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

44. if both parties truly mean nothing by it, then it's harmless

but if anyone is harboring any fantasies or desires, then it's a bit like cheating.

[RetroLounge]

46. Isn't Cheating also harmless fun?

:shrug:
