I am really wondering this, I had a guy flirting with me like crazy and when I responded (which was very little) he backed off. It drove me nuts wondering why, i mean this guy was winking staring, complimenting my look, making deep deep eye contact with me, and then backed off. Then one day I heard him speaking to someone and I heard him say "my wife and kids" and he said it when i was close enough to hear. Could not believe it!!!!! I felt so stupid!! He is still flirting with me, but I don't give him the time of day. But he won't give up. What"s the deal?

The reason i posted this is I was very interested in him and then WHAM!!! Makes me so mad, he has flirted for a very long time. I was shocked.

I think all men...married or single...want to feel attractive and so they flirt. It shows alot that he backed off...
OR
He wanted to make sure that you knew he was married so that if you two hooked up you understood that you were his piece on the side...
Either way RUN...this man is no good.

Flirting can be an ego boost and harmless fun, provided the people involved know this and don't cross the line. If the married couple are okay with each other engaging in this type of behaviour then ok, but if not and it's going to cause problems in the relationship then it's probably not worth it. As the saying goes, what's good for the goose is good for the gander hahaha

I believe that married people period flirt because they want to still feel like they are attractive and wanted by someone other than their spouse. Same as if you were in a relationship you want to know that the oppsite sex finds you appealing. Maybe the man flirted for that reason alone, and he spoke of his wife and kids to let you know that he this can go no where I was just trying to see if a beautifal young women would be interested.

Some married men like to flirt - because it makes them feel good, and they know the ladies loves it and vice-versa. Men are still human, though, they've been married for awhile it's human nature to look at fine man or woman - no harm done. Although, men that are committed to their wives could look but not touch and move on. In your case if he doesn't stop flirting with you (and your not leading him on) assure him that his wife will be inform of his flirtation.

We flirt because we like to feel like we 'still got it', like we could still get a date if we wanted to. That, and it's fun.
Some guys will follow through and cheat if given the chance, but I think most will back off pretty quickly if a woman responds.

Married men flirt for the same reason married women wear makeup, short skirts, low-cut blouses and perfume.
Its a mating ritual that doesn't stop just because the sex is monogamous

besides the fact that some people are not monogomous, i think a person (and not always just a man) will flirt even though they are married (or with another person) for the thrill. to see if they still "have it". to make themselves feel better. maybe he wouldn't act upon it, but its discouraging to know that is how he acts when his wife is not around. not only is it disrespectful, but disturbing. your best to stay far away. you can find someone much better.

For approximately the same reason that married women flirt. Acting out a fantasy, for the thrill of it. "I'm a catch and release" pervert.
This is at work, right? Say the magic words, "Sexual harassment" somewhere when he can overhear you.

Married men are under this impression that all women want to be with a married man because we think it is good that they are willing to commit to a woman full hearted. Tell him that you have no respect for married men who flirt with single women, that should snap him out of that. I have been in your shoes before-it's very uncomfortable.

Well hes def. trying to cheat on his wife. He shouldn't even be flirting with anyone. I dont care who it is, hes a married man and should be worrying about his family not other women. You need to tell him to stop flirting with you and go home to his wife and kids.
