The featured article on the yahoo homepage says flirting with other people improves your relationship. That is, as long as there are boundaries set and you both mutually agree to let each other engage in innocent flirting with other people. When I read it, it made sense. I think if my bf had agreed to that a long time ago, I may have been more comfortable around people b/c I wouldn't always have those nagging thoughts of would my boyfriend approve of this? Would I be reprimanded for talking to this guy if he were here? For the past five years I have basically blown off every male who tried to talk to me if I suspected they were interested at all. I might have had less anxiety in general if I had permitted myself to do a little innocent flirting without worrying about feeling guilty or negative consequences. Btw, I am not saying if you are involved in a relationship to be all touchy feely with other people! (that is obviously taking it too far).
