I'm getting thumbs down for saying that when I get upset at R&S I just go and flirt with the cute guy in accounting for awhile. What's wrong with that?

Yazoo, I wish you would enable email so I could explain myself. In short, am a Christian but I make no effort to put up a "pure" front or any other, I just try to be honest.
As for making "sexual statements," it's all a joke. I had a troll awhile back who decided to call me a "vile temptress" so now myself and others rin R&S like to make jokes about it. Before that, I never said one racy thing on this website.

The rule is chastity before marriage and fidelity after marriage. Flirting is an activity designed to get the attention of the opposite sex. So if you are single and looking for a mate, then flirting is a natural starting point for that process. However, if you are already attached to a mate, then flirting outside your marriage would be inviting the attention of another and could lead to a disastrous affair. If you are flirting in order to toy with the emotions of your victim, then your flirting becomes manipulative, devious and mean spirited.
So by all means have fun attracting your future mate but don't lead people on and be mean about it and don't be unfaithful by attracting somebody outside of your marriage.
That should muddy your waters a little bit as opposed to clearing it up.

Some socially conservative people (often but not always conservative Christians) believe that flirting is closely tied to adultery, promiscuous behavior, and encourages coveting.
Obviously we know that flirting can just be fun and innocent (mostly), but it is true that it can also be a precursor to cheating and divorce.
Like a lot of conservative dogma, if there is a chance doing something could be related to a sin it is easier to condemn the entire act and anything related to it.

Yes, it is a sin: if you're married. If you are single, then it is not a sin, but you still need to be careful where you allow it to lead you!
It can be a part of leading you into a great relationship, or a spiral into a terrifying and pressuring situation. Just to make you think.
If you want a biblical perspective, here are these...
Romans 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin
James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin
Basically, you are tempting yourself and others by going in a direction that will lead you into a situation that can cause damage.
You judge.

Rac is right, and Foxfamily is wrong.
Fox said that to toy with one's emotion is close to adultery. No, it is only close if you have the intention of sex with that to which you are flirting with. If you flirt with no intention of sexual relations, then the burden of sin falls on that to which you are flirting with. It is said that even if you commit adultery in the mind it is the same as committing physically. So, if that person to which you are flirting with takes it as he wants to jump your bones and imagines it, then that individual is committing the sin.
Of course this only pertains to if you are married at the time. If you aren't you won't feel guilty for being apart of tempting someone to sin as flirting is the natural instinct of all animals to find mates. Flirt on baby, flirt on!!!

This all depends. Are you leading him on to think that something might happen between the two of you that you can not morally fulfill or complete? Then if so, that is deceipt, and as such, you are leading someone on with false promises of false expectations.
Flirting is, ultimately, telling lies. Do YOU like being lied to? If you lie to others, yet you don't like it when you are lied to, that is hypocracy.
Finally, are you arousing him to sexual thoughts? Jesus said that if you (in this case, the guy) looks at another with lust, then they are already guilty of adultery in their hearts.
So, let's review. You lie, deceive, you are a hypocrite, and you cause another to commit adultery in his heart. You tell ME - is that sin?

I don't care for flirts. Is it a sin? Not really. Healthy? Not really.
You must have something going for you though the guys on this thread go gaga for you. (I guess your the Rachel I keep seeing).
You seem to like to raise eyebrows with sexual statements while putting on your pure Christian front.
Each to their own . Whatever. You are more of a distraction.

If it is not sinful for nerdy guys to flirt with you, it is not sinful if you do the flirting either. Equal rights!
Just flirt, don't screw around! Be a good girl!!!

If you are married it probably isn't good to flirt with another man. If you are not married flirt away. Who cares what these idiots say.
