What would you think of these texts?

Prompted by another thread, do you think these messages from a man to a woman are flirty/inappropriate when the man is married:

‘you’re going to get me in trouble one day!’
‘you can boss me about whenever you want’
‘Thanks for the nice view earlier Wink When are we seeing you again?’
‘That's ok but you owe me now, i can think of a good way for you to pay me back Wink

They weren't all in one conversation, over a few weeks. I know can’t say for sure without context but what would you assume about the relationship between the sender and receiver?

I would say at least one of them doesn't want to just be a friend.....

PartyFops · 06/09/2014 19:09

Sorry I mis read. He wants sex.

minkymuskyslyoldstoaty · 06/09/2014 19:10

he's a slimy git trying to get into someone's pants, but it's an ego trip.
He doesn't stand a chance but he's pushing his luck.

Yes flirty and yes inappropriate when married.

HanselandGretel · 06/09/2014 19:11

Flirty, not all flirting is harmful or sinister, it depends on the context though.

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 06/09/2014 19:11

Taken out of context it's impossible to know.

For example if it's done in a jokey way at work and people do have 'banter' with each other which is harmless and done in front of others. If it's 1-1 texts, not so harmless.

EllaFitzgerald · 06/09/2014 19:18

If the man in question was married to me, he'd have some serious explaining to do.

vidalsasssoon · 06/09/2014 19:51

They are 1-1 hanselandgretel

Highly inappropriate! As said by others, if this was my husband id hit the roof...

What a complete creep.

Aliceinvodkaland · 06/09/2014 19:54

he wants sex he likes the text receiver...a lot!

Vitalstatistix · 06/09/2014 19:56

They are very flirtatious and a bit sleezy. I wouldn't be happy to read them on my husband's phone.

Vitalstatistix · 06/09/2014 19:58

what would I think about the relationship between them - impossible to say without seeing the woman's responses to the texts.

His texts are very clear, but in order to judge the relationship, you'd need to see her responses.

She might hate it and feel harassed and intimidated, or she might be responding in kind.

Branleuse · 06/09/2014 19:58

i think its OTT flirting as in i think the guy knows he doesnt stand a chance. I think its to a younger woman as its slightly patronising too

WipsGlitter · 06/09/2014 20:01

Flirty.

Mind you someone sent me a very flirty / double entendre text the other day and he definitely does not want sex with me!

LickleMiss · 06/09/2014 20:02

I wouldn't want my husband to be sending these, he's definitely after sex an he's testing the water

XiCi · 06/09/2014 20:09

Whoever sent these sounds like a slimy git.

If I had received these texts I would be certain that whoever sent them wanted sex and I would be giving them a wide berth unless they were from Michael Fassbender

NightOfTheCactus · 06/09/2014 20:11

Completely and utterly inappropriate. At best.

Vivacia · 06/09/2014 20:15

If I received these I'd be thinking "creepy" rather than "flirty".

DontDrinkAndFacebook · 06/09/2014 20:18

I'd think the man sounds like a smarmy letch.

YouAreAMouseInAMaze · 06/09/2014 20:21

Very sleazy and creepy. What are the responses like?

Meerka · 06/09/2014 20:31

I wouldn't mind the first one but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are way out line. Whoever sent these wants more than friendship and is a creep.

vidalsasssoon · 06/09/2014 20:57

It's hard to tell, some of the messages from her seem flirty and encouraging him but then she ignored the sleezier ones and changed the subject
