writes: I was having a chat with my partner last night (which turned into a bit of a heated debate) about men flirting and generally whether they only flirt with women they fancy. He reckons that men will only flirt and also speak innuendo with a woman if he fancies her or wants more. I said that would probably happen on a drunken night out at a nightclub or something like that but if a guy knows a woman fairly well they probably feel they can flirt etc knowing that its just friendly banter and nothing more.So which is more likely - then I can tell him who is right - me or him.

They do it because it flatters their ego and lightens up their day. A man I know once flirted with me non-stop for months until I began to think that it actually meant something--so I asked... It took him by surprise: he backed away and said that "We're all adults" and that he even flirted with his female dentist, so I shouldn't take his flirting seriously. Since then, I just see men as compulsive flirts. It's sort of like looking in a mirror on a good day--you can't stop yourself from doing it!!

 I can joke with my best friends wife or my wifes best friend. That is not flirting though. Flirting is laying something out there, that could be possible. It's being suggestive or putting your best face on. In the cases I've mentioned, we all know it's not's possible. The only time flirting is really harmless is when it's not possible. Don't forget, if you're in a relationship, your partner might not see the intention of your flirting and take it to heart.
I can be a gentleman in a bar scenario. I can be polite and extra nice. I'm always respectful though and the peopel I talk with always know I'm a married guy because I speak highly of my wife.
Most men, in general, are probably up for more when the opportunity knocks. Single men I mean. I honestly believe that to be true. They know they have to cast thenet 100 times to get one fish. So, although he might be repectful, in the back of his mind, he's probably hopeful too.
