With relationships come many new things: anniversaries, anniversary sex, fighting, make-up sex, etc. But even with all these new things, there are some things that fall away when you enter into a relationship...
Think back to when you first met your SO. I'm sure the flirting was out of control. Giggling, sly sexual innuendos, winkie eyes... the works. But do you still flirt now that you're in a relationship? I mean, technically it isn't necessary. Isn't flirting just a means to an end...? So now that you've reached that end, is it weird to keep up the flirty behavior? Or do we just rename "flirting" to "foreplay"?
Now that you've got the guy/gal, do you still flirt like you did when you first locked eyes?

Yeah, we do. We go to the gym together and we'll still smile and wink at eachother from across the gym.. haha. We also exchange innuendos, butt grabs, and I casually play with the back of his hair and massage his shoulder while he is driving. (He loved when I started doing this). I love flirting! If it just stopped I think I'd be upset. To me it feels like it's necessary in order to keep that spark alive in relationships.
Yes, but I guess flirting is a little bit different because we already know we like each other. I'd say that we flirt more now than before we were in a relationship, possibly because he didn't really know how. =P
Yeah, I'd say it's called foreplay now.
I -attempt- to. Because I seem to analyze everything down to the pixel and think that it's completely normal, most of my flirtations, aggravations, frustrations, and seductress attempts come off very low-key or don't come off at all. Which blows. >_<
I'm single currently, but I always flirt when I'm in a relationship. I mean why not? It's one of those things I think that keeps the spark you have with a person going because as you said it's usually something you only do when you first get together or when your just getting to know each other and by continuing to flirt you show them your feelings of excitement and love haven't come to an end.
Oh when I clicked to read this article, I thought it was about flirting with people who aren't your SO. Personally, I am extremely flirtatious in nature. That's just how I speak, people think I'm flirting. Yes I still say flirty things to my boyfriend, 9 months later, and yes I still say flirty things (I guess, according to him) to other guys, girls. And it kills my boyfriend but I can't help it. It's all innocent, in my opinion.
I still flirt. I call it being sexy ;]
I still flirt with my wife all the time. Text messages and sometimes when she comes downstairs dressed in a cute outfit I'll stare her up and down and tell her we should skip work today and just stay home. I think this is essential to keep the passion alive
haha of course. I hope there isn't couples who stop flirting. That means it's OV!
flirting isn't nearly as fun or exciting once you're in a relationship. it's pretty much the biggest downside of relationships, in my opinion.
I can admit that the kind of flirting is definitely different now because we know each other so well, and we know that we have each other. Last night my boyfriend and I were talking about how guys will go out of their way for a girl for months and months and once she breaks down and gives into him, it's kind of like NOW he can sit back and relax, and there's not much more that he feels he has to do. J kind of explained it in a good way... it's like playing soccer. All season you hope and hope that you are going to get the trophy, so you work out.. you train harder... you do everything in your power to get that damn trophy, and then the end of the season comes and you get it! You put it on your shelf and you love it completely... show people it... and admire it. Just because the fight and the flirting stops does not mean that the love and passion is gone, it just means that the guy knows he has what he wants.
I often feel uncomfortable with teh fact that a guy would think that he knows that he has what he wants, because at any moment those things could change, and the guy shouldn't take what he wants forgranted.
I often try to spice things up just in the way of subtle flirting and making each other feel the way we did when we first fell in love.
I think flirting keeps a relationship from getting boring. Needless to say, the flirting loses its spark after a while, but it's still fun when you can come up with original ways to do it. If people see things like trying to impress another person just in order to get in a relationship, then the relationship is going to get super boring after a while.
we flirt as hot n heavt now as when we first met and were still friends. we are both really flirtacious and now nore than ever because we live together.
i still flirt with him all the time
why would i stop?
i mean, i'm still interested.
We still flirt all the time, but the flirting is a little different when we both like each other.
@raedium@xanga - :( Try me. I dare you.
datingish- Flirting with an italian girl is fruitless, at least the one I found. Although somethings have worked. It isn't really flirting if it is complimenting her on her magnificent beauty, lovely smile, pretty eyes and angelic personality, is it? Or how she looks in a dress.
I do how ever, flirt all the time, randomly, anyways, if it is a women of course. Why not? SOmething may happen that way.
@deathtothenewworldorder@xanga - Hahah! Awww <3.
@raedium@xanga - hehee.
