AND is your partner uncomfortable with it? Nothing wrong with getting attention, but if you TRY to get it, then it's like you may need it. Guy or Girl question. OPINIONS?

When in a committed relationship I don't try to get attention from the opposite sex if I'm happy and love the one that I'm in the relationship with. However, when I receive attention from the opposite sex it does boost the self esteem a little even if I have no intention of cheating or following through with the attention. The majority of people do enjoy attention.

I'll admit I still like attention from the opposite sex but I would never try to attract it if I was with my partner. Actually I don't really try when I'm out without him either. But if I do get attention it can be flattering for me & when I get home, I bring home my good feelings to him.

I don't go out of my way to get any attention - but it still seems to happen from time to time...
What I don't understand is those who deliberately TRY to get attention - basically, you are telling the person you are with that they aren't "enough" for you (especially if they are THERE with you while you flirt!). When you do this, are you tryign to say "I need two (or more) women/men to make me happy"?
If your partner is even slightly uncomfortable with it (wouldn't you be if the situation was reversed?) - then you have to make a decision... Do you stay with your g/f (or b/f), or do you "keep your options open"?

Of course. You sometimes gotta be reassured that you can still get attention even if your held down. My boyfriend usually doesnt get uncomfortable about it because he trusts me. He only doesnt like it when guys get too close and get really serious about thigns. But as far as little flirting goes he's okay with it. There's nothing wrong with needing attention unless it crosses the line to cheating. Then its totally unacceptable.

I don't think there is a person on this planet who doesn't appreciate attention from the opposite sex (unless gay of course). If I get attention from the opposite sex my partner doesn't mind unless he feels that the other person is doing something behind his back or has hidden motives.

yea i mean not saying that i don't love my bf but i mean sometimes its nice when another person looks at you, Kinda gives u that feeling that u still got it u no. Not saying that u'll leave ur bf/gf but i mean sometimes to get attention from antoher person is good. I never had a guy come up to me when my bf is there and when he's not there i say no thanks i have a bf. If some girl came up to my bf when im there yea im going to get pissed and say something but if she looks at him while he's walking at the mall or were ever it doen't bother me but i mean if he told me that a girl came up to him and his frds than i will get mad but nothing i can do about it and if i find out that a girl did this and he didn't tell me than ima get even more pissed and might break up or something.

I'm a guy I'm 21. I have been with my gf for about 5 months...I still try to look good and even get attention from other girls...I dunno if it's normal, but I just am still kind of a flirt. I guess thats just my personality...my gf hates the fact that my eyes will wonder and that I'm interested in other girls sometimes she gets really jealous...

Well I think everyone does in one way or another. It lets them know that they are still attractive and such. But going to far is wrong. There is a fine line there. I would never go to far if it meant sending the wrong message or hurting your partners feelings.

Dude, no way! a number of my closest acquaintances are lesbians! the 1st individual I ever got here out to grew to become right into a lesbian and that grew to become into like 8 years in the past and we are nonetheless particularly close. 2 of my cutting-edge suited acquaintances are a lesbian couple, and that i've got a handful of alternative super lesbian acquaintances. i'm getting alongside super with lesbians, and vise versa.

That's a sore spot. Not to sound uppity, but I am attractive and outgoing...I'll talk to anyone..men seem to take this the wrong way..every time. I've actually had to stop talking to people because I don't need the drama.
