I just am curious to thoughts of all on this.. thanks in advance!

Like booboo, I'm very flirty. I make sure my partners know and understand that that won't stop once we become a couple. Most of the time, that's part of what attracted them to me in the first place. Sometimes, though, what attracts someone to me will become a point of contention later on.

If a partner feels that my actions are inappropriate, we'll discuss it. If I see it the same way, I'll adapt my behavior.

In the specific case of flirting by text, I wouldn't do it. You know when it comes close to the line and I just don't like to toe that closely. Yes, I feel it's a form of emotional cheating.

The kind of flirting I do, via text or in person, I would happily do with my partner next to me.
