Is it ok to flirt when you already have a boyfriend?

I have a cousin that tells me when I meet a guy I tend to flirt...I don't see it as flirting I see it as befriending someone. I don't touch them or do anything with them besides talk and joke around. Thats just how I am with guys. Because I don't get along with girls...I'm not afraid to talk or to get to know someone. and my cousin is one of those girls who doesnt' talk to guys cuz she has a man. but I think boys are good to have as friends. so is it bad to "flirt" (laugh, joke, talk) when you already have a boyfriend? So what is the actual meaning of flirting? and when does it go to far?

Is it ok to flirt when you already have a boyfriend?
Depends. Are you flirty with girls, too? (I don't mean as in sexual advances- and I hope your flirting with the guys couldn't be construed as sexual in nature...) Do you giggle with them, making inuendoes, touch arms, etc? Some people are just flirty. There's a fine line between harmless flirting, and disrespect to your partner.





I STRONGLY disagree with one answer here regarding flirting being as bad as cheating. Very black and white, and there is such a thing as innocent flirting.





I celebrated my 10th anniversary with my hub this year. I am a flirt. And my husband is the only true man (all others, to me, are irrelevant) in the world to me.
Reply:being outgoing and friendly is not flirting...whether you are attached or not.


If you are acting in a seductive way , the n you need to stop it.


Some people are very insecure around this behaviour and it tends to hurt people's feelings and anger the ladies with the guys you are being friendly with... so be careful.


You have to know what and when it is appropriate and where the line is that you shouldn't cross.....


There is the difference between flirting to seek a man's attention and just being friendly....
Reply:You can interpret the word flirt as .......the way you would like to see your guy acting with other girls. Okay so you say you dont flirt and just laugh and joke around. So the same way you act with your guy friends would you like for your boyfriend to act with other chick friends. If so then your not flirting. But if you would not like it then maybe you need to change the way you act with other guys so it wont look like flirting.
Reply:Nope.... that's just as bad as cheating. The true way to know if its wrong or not.... as yourself if you would get mad if he did the same thing.
Reply:It's okay to flirt when you already have a bf. That just means you ultimately know the relationship will end anyway; you wanna make sure the options are still out there.


If you found a guy you truly truly cared about, flirting wouldn't even occur to you. It wouldn't be something you even thought about doing, since all you care about would be your bf's happiness.
Reply:No its not OK. Why do guys get so mad? not because we think bad of you





But you don't seem to understand what guys are thinking when you flirt with them whether they know you have a man or not.





They are thinking,..I'd do this chick right now..Somebody get her a shot
Reply:yes! I wish my gf would flirt. tim
Reply:nothing wrong until u have a fiance or u r married... u have to be careful then
Reply:Anytime I have a question like this I think of would I be bothered if my boyfriend did this....so would it bother you if your man did this with other woman? Be honest with yourself cause if your not you are only hurting yourself...and make sure it doesnt bother him...other then that guys are good buddies but beware of some....even though they know you have a man they can take it too far...hope this helps..
Reply:as long as ur boy friend accepts it.
Reply:As long as your boyfriend isn't bothered by your behavior - you are OK... if all you are doing is talking and joking around.
Reply:how would you feel if your boyfriend was flirting with other


women?
