i would say flirting is definitely not good if you're married.
i think it only leads to trouble, which in turn leads to bigger trouble.
i am border line over the issue if flirting is actually CHEATING though.
i flirt, mainly cause i'm single. however, i gave a girl a nice compliment on her new shorter haircut and next thing i know she wants my phone number. get this, she's married.
this kinda makes me re think the whole flirting is an innocent thing.
maybe intent is the real issue.
well now that im single and about to be divorced, i dont see a problem with flirting. i have alot of female friends that i flirt with. some females i flirt with more than others. there is one female that i have developed feelings for although i have told myself that i would never get remarried. can i help the feelings i have for this women? no i cannot. i have no choice but to be around her when i work. the more she and i are near each other, the more i like her. i can goto her for just about anything. do i think its wrong? no, not for single guys. married guys...yes! i guess it narrows down to this, what does each person consider flirting to be? is it someone saying hi or just talking to someone of the opposite sex and the conversation has nothing to deal with love or sex or does it the conversation have to be about love or sex? how about this, a few nights ago i had a emergency call and a friend of mine that is a female and works for a differnet ambulance company shows up on scene after i get there. we worked the call together due to how serious the nature of the call was (we were working on a dead person if you wanna know). after we got to the hospital and turned the patient care over to the er staff, she gave me a hug and said "man that was fun to work that code with you since its been a while since we worked a call together." is that considered flirting? if so, why do u think that? please respond to this blog and tell me what u think.
dear anonymous,
may i begin with this question before i answer your last question?
AREN'T YOU STILL MARRIED?
or do you like my last friend whose bride DIVORCED HIM, do you believe in your heart you're already DIVORCED?
CAUSE I JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE , FIREPROOF, and i must say that even with DIVORCE PAPERS in hand, AINT NOTHING TO BIG TO OVERCOME.
having said this... NO i do not think your hug and her comments equal flirting.
please respond at your convenience.
I beliecve that flirting is cheating. Even looking at porn is a form of cheating. Anything that would disrespect your wife or husband is flirting. I use to do it, but I found myself doing it more than I had intended and I was not HONORING my wife. I was also not being a good husband like I should be. So I quit flirting and nytime I find myself doing it I walk away and get away from the situtation.
by law i am still married but i consider myself divorced.
curious friend, the one who posted as anonymous.
DO YOU THINK THAT GOD SEES YOU AS SINGLE OR MARRIED?
i think God sees me as divorced because she is the one that left me.
she left you, yes.
she filed divorce papers, yes.
she has indicated beyond doubt that you guys are over, yes.
however, why would the state of Texas hold a higher standard than JEHOVAH GOD?
friend, God is in the business of restoration, maybe not in your case, but this is HIS business.
Both of you are Christians, right?
I DON'T WANT MY GIRLFRIEND TO FLIRT WITH OTHER PEOPLE . I KNOW I WOULDN'T LIKE IT. SO I'M NOT GOING TO FLIRT WITH OTHER GIRLS.
THAT'S HOW I SEE IT.
As a woman, i don't want my man to flirt. I DON'T DO IT. AND HE SHOULDN'T EITHER.
think of flirting like a seed.
as a seed it does NO ONE any harm.
however, if the seed is planted, watered, and given nutrients, well then this seed will most likely have the potential to blossom into a full grown plant or tree.
of course what it becomes depends on the nature of the seed.
now think of the full grown plant or tree as cheating.
i'm just suggesting, tread carefully with what seed we spread.
