Re: the need to flirt
interesting ... so what's considered flirting? only cheeking banter? what about sending e-mails, text messages, phone calls ... you know, all to 'chit chat'? of course, this is while you are married and perhaps your spouse isn't aware that you have a chummy friend on the side for cheeky banter?
I've seen 'flirting' like this .... or whatever you want to call it ... turns out pretty ugly. Not sure why the people involved feel guilty when they get 'caught' if it's all so innocent.
