Flirting ...do you consider this cheating ?

Yes! If you are "Flirting" it means you are INTERESTED, you should not be interested if you are already commited to another.

Oh goodness. No, I dont.
Flirting is harmless and fun, as long as it is kept light.
If you are with a very jealous partner, you might want to rethink doing it, but its still not cheating.

And I believe if people keep adding things to the list of what is cheating, eventually looking at another person will be cheating too.

It depends on the level of the flirtation. Normal level flirting would be a compliment here, a wink here, a bit of playful teasing there, and little to no touching. There are no deep emotions to be found. NEXT LEVEL flirting, getting dangerously close to cheating, is touching, kissing (lips or anywhere else), sensual or passionate hugging, deep feelings and the description of fantasies about the other person. I know THAT would **** me off if my boyfriend did it. So don't do it because it's not cool.

While most would view flirting as pretty harmless others are deeply betrayed by it. Whether or not it is acceptable in a relationship should be something determined between each couple.

Personally, I don't consider it cheating.

I know I flirt constantly lol most of the time not meaning to. It doesn't mean I want to sleep with someone. I flirt with my girls all the time, I flirt with my two best friends lol of course it's usually in creepy voices, but It's still flirting. I don't think flirting and the desire to go further always go hand in hand. I don't think the act of INNOCENT or FUN flirting is cheating at all... but there's a line, as long as there is not touchy touchy and it's kept in a light hearted fun manner then it's ok.

YES!....Of course it is!!

Yes. I consider someone wanting to have sex with someone else to be cheating. PEOPLE FLIRT BECAUSE THEY ARE HORNEY AND ARE ATTRACTED TO WHO THEY ARE FLIRTING WITH, THUS THINKING ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH THEM! There is NOTHING innocent about it!

If you mean to: Yes.

If you just come across that way: No.

Only you know your true intentions.

flirting is different to almost everyone that commented over here. when you look at it closely then people are flirting all day, whether it is innocent of friendly amongst friends or to help ease up a situation or it's not, taking greater forms or solely with the purpose to be with someone other than you partner is up to the person that is doing it. For me, flirting doesn't go beyond a look, a smile or waving at someone. And I totally don't mind my partner doing it either. As long as it doesn't get to the point that there is more to it.
I once had a partner that said he didn't flirt. I thought it was kind of unnatural and restricting for him and to be honest it didn't really believe him cause he sometimes did it unnoticingly when I was with him. I guess he didn't even see it himself. That partner cheated on me. I think you shouldn't smuther someone or restrict them so much that they can't even look or smile to another person. I don't believe in true love and I believe that there are may people compatible to a person so sometimes you meet someone you have that compatibility with although you are already with someone. So than you flirt a little and run home and hold your lover tight because you make your own decisions in life and if you choose someone make sure you stick with it. At least, that is my opionion.. ;)

I have read a newspaper. It said flirting is women's right. but I don't agree with it. It will get hurt to some weak hearts.
Yes , it is a type of cheating.

Yes, I do....why not reserve that for your special someone? I think people in committed relationships, fail to keep that flirting thing going....it's very powerful....and if you think flirting is "innocent"....think again.

I think this is something that is going to vary between couples. I had an ex that flirted with every woman he saw, right in front of me, and it made me feel like sh*t. Like he was on a date with ME, but acted like I didn't matter and how dare I expect him to curb his sexual appetite for me.

My current boyfriend doesn't flirt much with other women, but if he does, they are mutual friends and he is just being silly, and that doesn't bother me at all. I also flirt with friends and he also knows it means nothing. So really, it depends on the situation and the people involved.

No. It's just flirting. As long as it doesnt go any further, it's perfectly healthy and good for the self esteem.

No... it's natural... :-)

I'm a natural flirt. if there is such a thing. right Pix
I don't consider flirting as cheating on your spouse.

oh. Flirting is fun, flirting is nice... it's the least you can do to check your "awesomeness", to recharge self esteem, to feel you are still alive. Yes, it can bring jealousy. if you flirt with just someone, is bad, if you share love all around, is good. if you flirt away to anyone but not your partner , is bad, if you flirt with him/her too, it's okay. Finally, if you do nothing else than flirt, then you do not cheat.
Now , it's important that your partner knows you and feels that it's just flirting for fun. After all, giving compliments is also flirting , right ? Should we outlaw compliments? Is it necessary to let go to all freedom once we have a partner?

Absolutely not! It shows you appreciate someone and makes them feel good about themselves and if they respond, as in flirt back, nothing more, then you feel good. I work with loads of guys and some I flirt with whenever we interact, others I wouldn't dream of it. It's human and natural and nice and you don't get pregnant or any nasty diseases.
