We’ve all heard of the guy or gal who says their friendly partner is flirting with a random person. They only smiled, maybe cracked a joke or thanked them.

Some see that as flirting. Do you ?

What do you consider flirting?

For me it’s the textbook definition: Flirting often involves more personalized attention, subtle physical gestures, and a tone of conversation that goes beyond casual. If their behavior is consistent with everyone, it's more likely to be friendliness.

Additional questions to ponder… to go deeper… Do you think people who have insecure attachment to their partners feel that friendliness is flirting ? That they’re insecure ? Or that they’re cheating and feel guilty- so they’re projecting ? Is it the partners fault for the insecure attachment ?
