[quote=mbl] Does this "i just like some flirtiness in my friendships" apply to both men and women? If so you may be choosing the wrong word to describe this, unless you are bi, because by my definition flirting is banter suggesting sexual interest. If you really do mean flirty by my definition, then I can't think of a response to this thread that I don't think would hurt your feels. [/quote] Yeah, I'm bi, but many of my guy friends are a little freaked out when other guys flirt with them, so I don't. They're still my best friends. And really, my feelings are only gonna be hurt if your criticisms have already been addressed/clarified in the thread, 'cause that means you're not listening to what's being said and are judging me based on other prejudices. Otherwise, go for it - I asked an open question out of curiosity, not only for verification and pats on the back (although it wasnt meant to be about me, but instead you and your relationships). Just don't take me defending myself or clarifying things as being offended, though.
