just wondering really - im madly in love with dp - getting married next year - our relationship is great but lately, I have become a bit of a flirt with other men - completely harmless - I would never dream of taking it any further - but is this normal? do you all do it?

no, the corner of the party. not the corner shop. good lord. if there was actual growling taking place we'd be killing ourselves laughing.

rofl!! I'll have you know growling is practically irresistable to the opposite sex! At least that's what I tell myself as I go around Tesco's making low rumbling throaty noises to all the hunky builders. Their looks of fear are just part of the mating game.

BUT, to add my tpw, yes, flirting makes the monotony of daily life worthwhile, you get SO much further with things with a bit of a flirt (policemen, builders, posties etc are particularly responsive I find).

Blimey I'd be SO bored at work if I couldn't make at least 2 men a shift, smile that little bit more after a meaningful look or comment. Obviously part of that is getting it back in return, that's what makes it so fun.

Particularly if I get called sweetheart etc or especially treacle (swoon!)

all the time!

I do but dp doesn't mind.He is a bit of a flirt too but mostly with the little old ladies at work so don't feel too threatened

In my twenties, I flirted quite a lot. In my thirties, less so. In my forties, not at all.

In fact, I've gone full circle. I actually get quite (inwardly) embarrassed if a man shows me attention these days. It isn't a lack of confidence, (I don't look too bad for an old bird), but it's just so unwanted now.

TranquilaManana · 17/06/2007 17:29

um, nope. what is the point? there is absolutely no chance of me wanting to take it anywhere...

then again, i never used to think i was flirting before but the number of people who called me a hopeless flirt would seem to indicate otherwise!

lou33 · 17/06/2007 17:29

but i am single so i dont have to worry about what others think

Anna8888 · 17/06/2007 17:35

I don't think so but my partner thinks I do . And I'm sure he does
