  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Flirting when married or with someone who is married isn't good practice. To me, it's disrespectful to one's spouse to flirt when married and it's disrespectful to another's spouse if you flirt with a married person.

I'm a very friendly person by nature and laugh/joke around and chit chat with members of the opposite sex, but I have a firm boundary about not saying anything that could be misconstrued as flirtation or have a sexual connotation to it.

i think you have to define flirtiness. To some people just smiling and being friendly=flirting. If other people take that as flirting, there's really not much you can do. Sometimes all people have to see is a pretty and friendly woman and their minds automatically go to "she's flirting!"

If you're constantly complimenting men and making remarks that could easily be taken for come-ons, or touching them constantly then thats something to really be aware of and catch yourself so you can stop. That kind of behaviour isn't exactly respectful for your husband, yourself, or the guy in question.

Well, I guess I'm an overly-friendly kind of girl. My husband is fully aware when I chat to guys - he joins in half the time. I never say anything that could be taken as an invitation for anything other than friendly conversation. If it's just talking, and you're not implying you want anything more, it can't hurt, can it?

I think it hurts when boundrys start being crossed . Im realizing thats when it starts to get icky. I think for me its ok to talk to a guy but as soon as they start complmenting im hooked and thats usally toxic for me . It happens alot if i confide in someone about my husbands abbusive nature . They act sweet and flirty then they take it to a level of maniuplation ..idk

Sooo question is do we have any other flirts ?

Yes, quite a few. I'm not one of them, though.

Also is it a sin to flirt ?
Not necessarily, but it can very easily become sin because it tends to be dishonest and affectatious. Not to mention sexual.

How can a person learn to not do it ?
Easy. Flirting is disingenuous, so be genuine. Be yourself. Don't deliberately say and do things in some situations that you wouldn't do in others. You will naturally act differently around people whom you find romantically attractive than around those whom you don't, but do not try to act differently.

And if you do that and people still regard you as a flirt, that's their problem for making wild assumptions.
