People see flirting differently but still redirect to one point- it's an act of seduction. Most times cheating doesn't just start in a day, it starts with flirting, and gradually grows into what people consider to be unfaithfulness. Being nice is okay, but being flirtatious goes out of the way especially when one is engaged or is in a courtship. Relationship experts say "women are moved by words" while on the other hand "men are moved by what they see" and most often flirting involves teasing using words, which can be insinuated as attraction. So, sometimes it's not about the motive, it's about the person listening to those flirtatious words and her response to it.
Flirting is defined as to;
behave as though sexually attracted to someone, but playfully rather than with serious intentions.
Why flirt? Is the question I ask if one's motive is clear of sexual attraction. Flirting is presented in little gestures like signals allowing the other person decide if he or she wants to reciprocate and most often sexual relationship is built from it. It's hard to decide that flirting itself is cheating, but it's one of the aids to cheating, because every record on cheating started with the two individuals being flirtatious with words or gestures.
The easiest way to get a girl's attention is by what we say, this we know as guys. It might be assumed to be playful but we know the effect it causes in them and sometimes we can't flee from their seductive moves. Why flirt if we understand the other person might misinterpret those gestures? Why flirt when our partner deserves all the attention? And why flirt when the effect of words could go extreme?.
Cheating means to ;
be sexually unfaithful.
That happens when you share the weight of your sexual attention between two people. Yes, when you could be plain, you acted more seductive than normal. Flirting is not purely 100% free from negative motive, either the sender or the receiver sees it differently and that's where the twining starts.
