How Do You Handle Your Partner's Flirting Activities?



Aha! I don't wanna put anyone on the spot, and I do not point to anyone here. But this is a general topic that is applicable to anyone, MAN or WOMAN, here, there, and everywhere....

Let's face it! For once in our lives, (and who knows more) we've been linked to and with someone who just loves to "flirt" ..And it doesn't matter if the person is your sweetheart or a suitor. Sometimes, out of nowhere, the same person can be seen flirting with other wo/men and seem to enjoy every attention s/he is getting from the opposite gender...Tsk!tsk!tsk!...I've witnessed in real life how some men are obviously staring at other sexy women and even hug and are very touchy with them right in front of their respective dates..They even generously "praise" them expressing all their admiration for them. Some married men would even joke "If only I am not married, I'd like to be with you."....

On the other hand, women can be as equally guilty for being flirtatious, themselves. They do the same thing men do. To some, they may consider flirting as part of their daily lives and may appear tolerant to it, but in most cases, it brings the GREEN MONSTER out of those who abhor the idea of having their partners engage in that insensitive activity. Worse, it puts a strain on the relationship, specially when the ego gets affected. Of course, we know about the "double standard(s)" right? Mostly, it's okay for men to do that, but for women? naaaaaaaahhhhh!

Let's not go very far...Flirting is openly observed here on this website. It's in the chatrooms, groups (before), and bloglandia. I guess, this is the reason why most of the couples who've met and eventually got hooked here, chose to leave, and opted to continue their romance off screen. It's understandable. It takes off pressure and paranoia from both sides. Believe me, when the Green Monster Strikes, one can have as many enemies all at the same time. FFF becomes a small world, and everyone is after other people's business. The bigger your network, the higher the risk of destroying your relationship. After all, NOT everybody can keep a secret..

Ouchhhhhhh! I'm a flirt, I'm a flirt. I'm a flirt. And everybody knows it. Sometimes I don't know how she can handle it. She already said that it's up to me to change, she won't pressure me to change. Guess she's just too understanding.

In the same token I know lots of guys flirt with her. I feel it's ok if she flirts back if it's just in the website, well on second thought maybe even during an EB. I am secure in knowing she and I won't jeopardize our relationship because of this. When the monster comes up, we'll give it a good whack and we'll learn something we did not experience before.

I think the malice in flirting is in the observer, not on the flirt. Of course there those who take advantage of the flirtation. It's up to us to hold them at bay,

bwahahahahha...i have to leave chat so i can comment here...the photo is absolutely fab!

now, about online flirting ...i would be a total hypocrite if i would say i don't really mind my man flirting online...but i won't stop him or make a big deal out of it...i reckoned it's good "exercise" and "test" for both of us...we have enough trust and respect for each other that we both know how and when to draw the line

i'd probably raise hell tho' if i catch him being rude or obscene to other women

now, what am i talking about ...i've no man ...and i'm so withered and old

Oh yeah, this picture was taken during our HS Grand Reunion back in May 4-5. That's my former classmate, now a Counselor in Camiguin. The band played sweet music, and he asked me to dance with him..Alright, I agreed, and since his wife was not around (Nope! the reunion was exclusive to class and batchmates only), feel na feel niya ang precious moment...lolz..

if im on a date with someone why would i want to flirt with someone else. then again i wouldnt want my partner to be flirting with someone else especially if we are out together. if they are or maybe i am then i would think that the relationship is not very healthy. why flirt with another if you are with the one you want to be with. i personally dont like it. take care and enjoy the day

Okay, good admission!..My question to you is, WHY DO YOU FLIRT, to begin with? WHat good do you get from flirting? Is it a compulsion? Is it an act of compesaction for something that was not achieved at a younger stage? WHY?

The answer is above, Bert...Kindly read on...You know, if you all notice, my blogs consists of my personal experiences, and at times, highlighted by my personal photos...I do that, as my signature, my style, my "originality"...lolz... For how can I be accused of copying when I write about my own life and experiences? Isn't it that everyone is UNIQUE?

Toinkz! and neither do I have a man...lolz....But I talk about it...Because, I, for one, if I am on a date with a man, be it a friendly date, I'd like to be "accorded" the attention, time, and respect. WHen I say respect, it comes with the package of how a man should treat a woman on a date..All eyes and ears, mostly for her...if not, only for her.. How hard is that?

However, I can tolerate the flirting if it's done when I am NOT with the guy...as you can see, sometimes, it's his way of feeling good, knowing that other women would entertain the thought of having him around them, and have "clean" fun with them..

nyeeee...was talking about online flirting

well, in real life...be they friends or more, i and my friends usually have some "fun"...flirting outrageously with whosoever is in the "hot seat"...like smilerz would give him a lap dance...or aphrodite will pretend to steal him...or someone would sing for him...there was one time our female friend really walked out in tears...afterwards, she confessed she trusted us but not her bf ...

i haven't been with a man yet whose attention strayed away while we were on a date...unless we're people-watching

~HI EB,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON MY BLOG. I WAS IN McALLEN IN 1982', AS GENERAL MOTORS HIRED ME TO GO TO THE BUICK DEALERSHIP TO RE-ORGANIZE IT FOR RE-SALE...THE REAL PROBLEMS WERE THE DEALER AND HIS SON AS THE HORRIBLE WAY THEY TREATED THEIR EMPLOYEES... I'M SURE THEY ARE NO LONGER THERE NOW AND HOPEFULLY IT IS A GOOD PLACE NOW. I DIDN'T REALLY ENJOY MY TIME THERE, EVEN THE TRIPS TO PADRE ISLAND WERE NOT THAT MUCH FUNNN... YOU ARE PROBABLY TOO YOUNG TOO HAVE BEEN THERE THEN ANYWAY.
IF YOU WOULD EVER VISIT GALVESTON ISLAND, YOU WOULD NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE. OF COURSE, THAT MAY BE BECAUSE I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE. I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD AND I HAVE ALWAYS COME BACK HOME.
ALL OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY HAVE PASSED, BUT I HAVE 4' OLDER DAUGHTERS AND 1' SON THAT ARE ALL SERVING IN THE MILITARY... AND A 7' YEAR OLD SON THAT I HAVE IN PRIVATE SCHOOL.... HIS MOTHER PREFERED OTHER WOMEN AND I DIDN'T WANT HIM RAISED WITH HER LIFESTYLE...WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE TOPIC OF YOUR BLOG ON FLIRTING... SHE AND HER FRIENDS WERE JUST SO BLANTANLY OBLIVIOUS OF EVERYONES FEELINGS AS TO THEIR FLIRTING... THE MORE I EXPRESSED MY DISLIKES, THE MORE THEY PUSHED IT INTO MY FACE... SO I HAD TO MAKE MY DECSION TO DIVORCE HER AND MOVE ON.... I ADORE MY SON AND I'M SPOILING HIM LIKE MY FATHER DID ME, BUT WITH RESPECT FOR EVERYONES FEELINGS... I NAMED HIM DONALD WILLIAM NIVEN II AND CALL HIM 'DEUCE'..
I WOULD NEVER FLIRT WITH ANYONE ELSE WHEN I AM WITH A LADY. I RESPECT HER OR I WOULD NOT BE WITH HER. IF SHE FLIRTS WITH SOMEONE WHILE WITH ME, THAT IS A REAL SHOWING OF DIS-RESPECT AND I WOULD AND HAVE LEFT THEM ON THE SPOT...
AS PRETTY AS YOU ARE, I CAN NOT IMAGINE ANYONE FLIRTING WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHILE WITH YOU...
THAT IS WHY I AM LOOKING FOR A LADY OF FILIPINO HERITAGE... ALL LADIES THAT I HAVE MET BEFORE ARE ALWAYS TRUE TO THE ONE THEY ARE WITH. I KNOW THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS, BUT I'M WILLING TO TAKE MY CHANCES. BEING A AUTO DEALER ALL MY LIFE, I CAN READ PEOPLE PRETTY WELL... ALTHOUGH I REALLY HAVE MADE MISTAKES IN SELECTING MY EX's... EACH OF MY CHILDREN HAVE DIFFERENT MOTHERS, AND I RAISED EVERYONE ALONE BY MY SELF....
I'M SURE I HAVE BORED YOU LONG ENOUGH, SO I'LL CLOSE...
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON MY BLOG...

Hello Mr. Donn, I thank you kindly for gracing my blogs and sharing your insights with regards to the flirting topic. Sharing your own experiences gives us a better understanding of how men like you perceive the act of flirting. I also thank you for the kind words and for promoting Galveston. I've been there a couple of times, although didn't get the chance to tour the area since we drove there for the purpose of boarding the cruise ship. I wish you continue to be successful in your car dealership, and also for meeting that Filipina woman that will capture your heart. I also hope that next time around, she will be for keeps...All the Best!

Well, good for you Charlie! ...It looks like for as long as you have clear understanding with your partner, flirting in private is just alright. You see, some men, are intolerant if their women do the same. And some women will raise hell if they catch their men openly flirting as well. I agree, there should be an open communication between partners in terms of where to draw the line..

you`re right Elz, some people are not that strong enough to resist temptation.....reminds me of the movie "the other woman"..sooner or later, it will go deeper and before we knew it, it`s too late

I myself is not a jealous type of woman and not insecure either...I can tolerate "flirting" when done in funny way...unless of course they "f** in front of me, then that´s another story


I agree with Charlie that trust and mutual respect are necessary...in the very first place, no need to seek "flirt" if both are happy with each other, within the relationship
