“I don’t believe in emotional cheating.

It’s only cheating if it’s physical.

If my penis hasn’t gone in her mouth or vagina, then I’m innocent.”

Is flirting cheating?

The people weigh in.

1.It depends on the intention.

Matthew, 26

2.I personally consider any form of flirting cheating.

Whenever Im in a relationship, I take it seriously.

The only person I want to flirt with is my girlfriend.

Shes more than enough for me.

Seth, 30

3.Ive dated flirtatious women in the past and it never bothered me.

The only problem is if shes flirting withother guysall the time but stops flirting withme.

Just because youve been dating someone for years doesnt mean you should stop putting in effort and acting playful.

Joshua, 22

5.I feel like flirting is only cheating if it would make my wife upset.

Craig, 26

6.Honestly, it depends on the relationship.

You have to set boundaries with each other in the beginning so no one crosses them on accident.

7.I dont care if youre physically cheating oremotionally cheating.

I actually encourage her to flirt with them.

I never flirt with them.

Not even a little.

Im a people person.

Im one loyal motherfucker.

Jacob, 28

11.Every time I start dating someone, I see how they behave around other men.

If they are flirty, then I feel like Im allowed to be flirty with other women.

Basically, I copy whatever they do because if they get mad, theyre a hypocrite.

Brian, 25

13.I wear a ring on my finger.

I have pictures of my wife as my phone screen.

And if anyone tries to flirt with me, I mention my marriage right away.

Years ago, I made a promise to stay loyal and I intend on keeping that promise.

Stephen, 31

14.Sex is cheating.

I dont even consider kissing cheating.

So no, I dont think flirting is cheating.

Thats the dumbest thing Ive ever heard.

People are way too sensitive nowadays.

Better safe than broken up with.

16.Im not a commitment guy.

It makes me feel trapped.

But flirting with other women makes me feel like I still have some level offreedom.

17.If Im being completely honest here, I dont think flirting is cheating.

But my girlfriend says flirtingischeating so Ive stopped doing it.

21.Cheating is a strong word.

I only consider sex, kissing, and maybe grinding on the dance floor cheating.

Everything else is fair game.

I might flirt a little with a waitress in front of my girlfriend and wont feel weird about it.

John, 27

24.Flirting is natural.

You cant call everything cheating just because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

But I wouldnt exactly consider myself the most loyal boyfriend in the world either.

I know I would feel betrayed though.

Thats how I feel.

29.I think its okay to flirt with someone youre never going to see again.

But I would never flirt with anyone at my office or any of my female friends.

That would complicate things.

30.As far as Im concerned, flirting means youre unhappy in your relationship.

So why would I stay with someone like that?

31.My girlfriend can flirt with anyone she wants as long as her shirt doesnt come off.

I dont get why everyone gets so mad about it!
