I can understand that. I actually struggled with my flirtatious personality for a while. I dont want to make others uncomfortable or get the wrong impression. The problem is — I dance salsa. I love dancing and its one of my main forms of release from a rough day, but salsa is a pretty flirtatious dance. It’s just the way it is. So, in order to continue living my life in a way that makes me happy, I have chosen to be with partners who are not jealous and understand that it means nothing to me other than good natured fun. I think what makes it easy for them is that I am very honest with them, and I make sure everybody knows I am taken. I also make a point of showing to others that my partner is my priority when he comes with me dancing. I want them all to know that I have no intentions with them. And I talk about my boyfriend all the time, so its generally pretty clear 🙂 Also, I act exactly the same way in front of him as I do when hes gone, so theres no hidden agenda there.
“Why take the chance” is a completely valid feeling, but what is flirting is part of your hobbies, your job, your lifestyle? I have a friend who is a barista, for example. She is in a happily committed relationship, but at the end of the day, she only makes tips if she flirts. So she flirts. How do you view this?
