Flirting

[lcsamano]

Why do guys flirt with married women? I am married with children and I do wear my wedding ring everyday. I have a guy friend who knows that I am married but continues to flirt with me. I am not sure what to do. I have told him time and time again that nothing is going to happen but he keeps trying.

maybe he sees it as harmless. He knows you're happily married, so the chance of "real" rejection isn't likely like it would be with a stranger.

It could be an ego thing, I don't know the guy so I couldn't say for sure. Maybe he wants to win you over to see if he really can get a married woman to fall for him. It's possible?

I think Liz is on to him. I remember my college boyfriend saying that in the game of getting girls, getting a girl to cheat on her boyfriend won a guy extra points. How sleazy!

Men like a challenge. They find trying to seduce a woman whom has been taken is stimulating. I don't know why but they just hope that for some odd reason you are unhappy at home.

I think he is just lover-buy flirting with every single woman.

I know the type.Since I'm male I have more insides on this subject.Several friends (in a matter of speaking) have this habbit of 'instant' seducing.I personally consider flirting is just an invitation for sex,anything more than comes from evolved friendship or a high level of chemistry.Back to the subject,it is just because testosteron and the 'trophee' colection.

I think I know better since I'm male.I have friends (in a manner of speaking) that are well known for their habbit of 'instant seducing'.It is a matter of testosteron,'trophee' colection,talking subjects and popularity/notority.You get 'high-points' for stealing the prize of another,boosting a simple minded's ego,and it can be very arousing for some.

Don't tell him "nothing is going to happen." I have had this happen and I told him that he needs to stop because it is disrespectful to everyone involved, your husband, him, and most of all you. If he is really your friend, he will stop when you ask him to stop being inappropriate. If he says anything to the effect of it being harmless flirting, no bad intentions or the like, then you need to not spend as much time around him. Those comments are best ended with his silent muttering of the word, "yet." If he is your friend he may even apologize and then stop behaving like that.

You need to nip it in the bud. Don't wait, and don't spare his feelings, your husband is more important and I'm sure you prefer to spare his feelings than the man disrespecting him.

as a guy my personal opinion about that is guys are flirting to married woman because they think that married woman is the easiest target to hook up because most of the married woman is unsatisfied with their marriage or the the husband luck of time to their wife because of work or the guys think that married woman might want to experience the thrill of the excitement, if you know what i mean.
