Flirting.


Blog Code

I had the pleasure the other day of catching this little tidbit in #devart:

as long as you're not married and you're flirting with me, i'm fine

This doesn't make sense to me. So it's okay to flirt with other people if you're dating someone, but not if you're married? What makes marriage so different? Yeah, you signed some papers and you get some legal benefits - but your relationship, how you treat one another, should not change. Marriage doesn't suddenly mean the couple loves each other more or bestow on them some promise of being together forever.

Am I the only one who finds this strange?

      i find it odd that marriage would be a qualifier for whether or not it would be ok to flirt or not, yes. strange

        I find that strange too. My partner and I have an agreement - I can flirt, he can flirt, but we never flirt to such an extent that the other would be uncomfortable watching.

          ..That's a bit weird.

          I'd be really pissed off if I had a girlfriend who was flirting with people behind my back.

          I thought that was the point of a relationship, exclusivity?

                just as strange as any other monogamous mating practice, really. Hell, mating practices in general are bizzare.

                  That's quite odd. I odn't know how people come up with that kind of thing.

                    I think they meant attached to someone, not married. I think they've said one thing and meant another. You know how those #devart kids are.

                    I'd best make the most use of the time we have together before one of us gets married.

                        I didn't include some of the context of this quote. One of the two involved has a "significant"-other. ^^;

                            Sounds like something EvilCheeseMan would say.

                            I'm good, aren't I? :)

                                I'm sure it would violate something or another for me to pull that log just to get the context... otherwise I would. =p
