This highly depends on the circumstances and location of the flirting. Just passing by flirting like to a waiter/waitress at a restaurant, or someone standing in a line - somewhere you obviously will never see this person again is harmless. However, strip joints, bars, clubs - if it's at these places it is not okay for many reasons. And my guess is if a person is at one of these places frequently, the relationship they are in is not their priority, and they're still looking for "something better".
I got a kick out of shopping with my hubby last weekend. We were at Walmart and some blonde chick (she looked very weathered but she is apparently a hardcore alcoholic) runs right up to him and says "HI! HOW ARE YOU?!" You know, in THAT voice - women know it all too well. He goes "DO I know you?" She just stomped away in disgust. It really did take him a few minutes to figure out who she was...an ex from about 8 years ago who he had an 8-month fling with and she was living with some other guy. He broke it off for many reasons, #1 being her alcoholic ways and her obvious player status. They used to work together and he still talks to many of his male friends who still work there, so she's well aware that he's married now and has kids, but it didn't stop her from attempting now did it? I found it pretty hilarious and pathetic of her all at the same time.

I think it's fine as long as you know where to draw the line, and you're not leading someone on to believe anything will happen with you. I also wouldn't recommend being flirtatious while you're in the presence of your spouse. Married people aren't dead, and a little harmless flirting here and there can sometimes do wonders to boost one's confidence. Married folks don't often compliment each other like they did while dating, so when someone else flirts with you and finds you attractive, it makes you feel good! Nothing wrong with that.

My husband and I have this policy that we never do or say anything behind each other's backs that wouldn't do or say in front of the other. So as far as flirting goes, it's about what the other's comfort level is. I'll only "flirt" with someone if I truly know that my husband would think what I am saying is completely innocent.

Everyone has a different ideal on what flirting is and it comes in different levels. A smile in a woman's direction just to say Hello or to mean that she is pretty seems OK but anything after that may stir up trouble.
P.S. Nothing wrong with having a conversation with the opposite sex minus the flirting. Respect yourself, others, and your wife.
When married men flirt with me, I always ask "How is your wife and kids" They laugh but get the point.

I do not think it's okay for any married person to flirt. As a married woman I would be insulted if a man knew I was married and flirted with me anyway. It shows a lack of respect.

Well, first theres a fine line between flirting and hitting on somebody. Im not sure how to describe the difference but basically telling other women their sexy or "if you werent married....." Thats not ok. Not sure if you know what Im saying.

Yeah I don't think so. That's risky. At first it's just flirting and the next thing you know it's gone to far and there's no turning back then.

There's nothing wrong with harmless flirting. Once you step over those bounderies then there's a problem.

Absolutely not...Your actions should reflect your loyalty to your significant other...Flirting opens the door that can lead to other things...After all we are mere humans, subject to err. So don't open the door!
