Window-shopping

[lswhyte123]

Okay,you all know what it means.

Anyway,there are always situations where you look around and check others out. You may even chat with them regularly. But ur in a relationship so can't buy...or maybe you still do.

But when is it too far?-When do you/should you stop?

Opinions people, please explain yourselves. Good explanation=+rep

The way I see it being physically attracted to someone is a pretty natural thing. In reality I see 'window shopping' as a relatively harmless thing, there is no reason to feel guilty or jealous about it because it goes down to a biological level.

When you decide to take it a step further however is crossing the line. I'm in a healthy relationship, and I really don't worry too much about my signifigant other 'checking out' other people, whether they do it or not.

The way I see it, you shouldn't do anything your partner will get upset about. The temptation is there, but in the end you'll be hurting your partner. So it's up for you to decide what it is worth, possibly ending a relationship with someone you obviously care about for a fling.. or if you don't care about them as much as you thought, break up with them then, no need to go stringing someone along.

It once again depends if the flirting is harmless or not, and if your partner would be offended and or affected by it. Personally I try not to flirt, I know my partner gets jealous and I would not like to offend them. However every relationship is different, it's best to just go with your gut. ( Not your crotch )

Sorry can't +rep you for another 24 hrs.

Anyway,I agree with you. But I feel that there are situations where you want to and should be able to harmlessly flirt(note harmless). I think that most people flirt with intent to pounce,which is an issue.

Being a bit flirty and fun is ok IMO but you need control.

Well said btw,I like ur approach to this.

Thanks, and like i said before it is a natrual thing. I'm far from perfect, and I'm not beyond admitting that I occasionally flirt but I don't do it intentionally. Really, it's not something to feel guilty about if it is truly harmless!

I guess those are the key points ma dear...when is it really harmless?

I think for men,it's about 60% of the time with the intent to pounce...mayb also the same for women,I don't know.

If there is a hot female near me, I'm checking her out, and if shes available I'm trying to hit it. I'm single, so I don't have that to worry about. If I was in a relationship, I would still check them all out, just try not to get caught doing so. I remember my ex would flip her lid if she even thought I was checking out another girl, and try to accuse me of cheating on her all the time. The ironic part is she was the only one who ever cheated, not me.
