I'm a flirt?

I'm happily married. Everyone I work with knows this. And they know my wife. A coworker this morning told me that I'm a big flirt. Her explanation is that I am very friendly with women and joke around a lot. When we asked a 3rd person, she agreed that I'm a big flirt.





My question is - is it flirting if I don't know that I'm doing it? Is it all in the eye of the beholder? In other words if you think someone is flirting - they are? Or does the person flirting have to be aware.





They all seem to think it's cute and don't want me to stop. But if I'm flirting, I'm sending the wrong signal. Am I supposed to not be friendly? I don't cross any lines and don't touch anyone. What do I do.

I'm a flirt?
you sound like a good person to be around. I wouldn't change a thing, unless it bothers you and your wife, as long as you know what you mean by the way you act then don't worry about what other people think about it.
Reply:Well if you are happily married you wouldn't be flirting. 3 women told you that you flirt...so you probably do. I would change your approach to women. Their's a balance between being nice/ andbeing "nice". You need to find that balance before something goes down
Reply:well unfortunately for you ( and me your not alone) thats just apart of your personality. but even if you dont think your flirting you are and even if you think you dont know you do know.so be less forward ask your wife what specific behavior she is and isnt ok with then go form there.
Reply:Yes that definitely means your a flirt.
Reply:think about the things that you are saying, can you change the words so that the meaning is the same but not as forward.
Reply:you don't have to know if your a flirt but you shouldn't be to friendly.i mean a little hi/bye won't hurt anyone but not to much.people might think you're interested.Good Luck!!!
Reply:flirting means different things to people. as long as you're not crossing the line or being gross. but if you're just funny and a nice person to hang around with, it's fine but it can be addicting. so, stick to small jokes and a bit more professional. if you realize this, it shows character and chances are you're a good person who won't do anything wrong.
Reply:yes it is and your retarded for asking that
Reply:Since you say you are happily married...try putting your wife into the work scene and "flirting" just as you say you think you do. Would it bother you for her to be doing it? Or if your wife came to your work place would you change your actions just because she is there? If you have to be different then maybe you should look into who it is you truly want to be.
Reply:Flirting is ...playful behavior intended to arouse sexual interest. if ur doing that %26amp; ur married then u need to quit. If ur just smiling and being nice then there is no harm in that. Women however do take that as flirting. I once had a coworker the same way %26amp; when I gave him my number he never called. That's b/c I took it the wrong way I thought he was flirting when he was just being nice....so duhhh did I feel like a loser.





So make sure not to send the wrong signals be careful b/c ur a married man %26amp; u wouldn't want that kind of reputation buddy!!
Reply:Ask your wife what she thinks!





She'll tell you.
