Hi friends. Is it fucked up to flirt with someone with no intention of taking it further? I’m in a long-term monogamous relationship. Sometimes I crave a little validation from strangers. I’m not going to cheat on my partner, but I do have a need to feel desirable to others. I don’t feel like a bit of flirting is a betrayal of my relationship, but I’m less confident about how other people feel. Like, I don’t want to waste someone else’s time, but I guess maybe I am leading people on a bit if I chat with them without mentioning my partner.

    Yeah it’s nice to have. There is nothing wrong with some friendly attention.

    A lot of the feedback you are getting is varied because of how vague a concept flirting really is.

    The whole idea is to sus out someone’s interest.
