I am curious how GAF feels about this. Say your girlfriend said that she flirts with guys, will accept drinks but when they try to move things forward they say no. To them they believe theres no chance of anything going beyond so theres no harm. Also, how would you feel if your girlfriend kissed other guy friends on the lips?

Curious if this is a gay thing or if straight people do it too.

It must be a gay thing. I can't imagine a straight guy putting up with (or a straight female I suppose) their girlfriend flirting with guys, and especially not if they (even casually) kissed them.

edit: Although it could be a Euro thing....

Well, the hispanic culture is very open when it comes to greeting and saying goodbye. A hug and kiss isn't out of the question for even people you just meet. But it's a hard sell to anyone in a relationship, so i say...stay away from it as much as possible.

My boyfriend admitted that he flirts with guys but he wouldn't ever go beyond that. I told him theres absolutely no reason he needs to be flirting unless he intends to pursue another relationship. I brought it up because he had a volleyball tournament in Atlanta last weekend. I thought I trusted him fully but when he dispensed with this information for whatever reason I couldn't help but get certain thoughts whirling around in my head. Alcohol + already loose interpretation of "relationship" (If not loose then simply different than my own interpretations).

So he gets back and I don't question his activities. Then we go to a bar last night to meet a straight female friend of ours and i run into a friend of mine who tries to give me a kiss since I'd not seen him in months and I kind of turn my head so it hits my cheek instead. He asked me why I did that and said the only person I kiss is you (my bf). Since he had been drinking I got the confession he flirts because he likes to feel he can still attract the attention of other guys. Uh. No.

So now I'm thoroughly aggravated with how he treats our relationship. I can honestly say hes the first guy I've ever fallen in love with so I can't be sure I'm thinking level headed. But it all fits for me.

Definitely no on the lips kissing with other guys.

I'd say flirting is okay, as long as it's more of a "joking around" type flirting. Because I sometimes do that. But kissing is just.. no. Cheeks are alright though.

 

[Zaptruder]

Yeah, full on anal is ok for a greeting. As long as I'm there to watch.

I usually hug and kiss my female friends on the cheek as a goodbye. My GF doesn't care and she usually does the same thing with our female and male friends. Of course I'm not in a situation where one thinks it's okay and the other doesn't. We're just comfortable in our relationship.

I do the same, but we're talking about kissing on the lips.

I had a female friend years back that kissed (well pecked is the word I spose) me on the lips all the time and she had a boyfriend. It wasn't a big deal to me since I was single and her BF didn't seem to make a wierd face or say anything about it.

If your "other" has an issue over it though then I'd stop immediately and talk with he/she. No need in ruining a relationship over something stupid like that.

 

[Escape Goat]

Well, I fully intend to talk to him about it. I was just making sure I wasn't going psycho.

 

[Escape Goat]

Well, after laying down on my bed he comes in and lays down and tries to be all snuggly and I ask him if he could give me some space (i was planning to take a nap) and he looks at me like I had killed his dog and the next thing I hear is the door shutting.

He just called me to sya goodnight in a sad/sobbing voice. He hadn't expected to be dumped but would talk to me later. Ugh. What the fuck is going on

No chance in hell would i let my woman kiss another guy ...flirting or whatever.
