Because they love to tease and feel desired.
No, they do it because it's fun, and an ego boost.
Many reasons why girls do that sort of thing, attention craving, insecure, hard upbringing etc.

But thankfully not all girls flirt behind their boyfriends back. I always thing if you love your partner you wouldn't feel the need to flirt
Because thwy (we) still want to see if we're attractive to people other than our boyfriends! And its obviously fun!

I flirt behind my boyfriends back, and in front of him. And at the side a little bit. I can't talk to a member of the opposite sex without being accused of flirting, It's just how I talk to people! He knows what I'm like, and it doesn't bother him, because he trusts me. I know he flirts outrageously too, but we're both secure in the relationship so..

Completely harmless.

Surely it isn't fair to lead a guy on, with no intention of having a relationship with him? Or does it show, a lack of satisfaction, that they're getting from their relationship?


Your punctuation, is horrendous, to behold.

I'm often accused of flirting. But I don't, or at least, Idon't mean to.
I'm friendly with guys, and I get on with guys.
Yet, when I talk to a guy, its instantly classified as flirting.

i dnt kno n e girls that do this...?
i flirt loads, in front of my boyfriend or when im out with my mates, and so does he.

theres nothing wrong with flirting at all. i think that if you start getting annoyed/paranoid about a little harmless flirting your relationship cant be very secure
I just think flirting is wrong, nothing wrong with hugging your other friends, but blatant groping and feeling up just seems wrong.

there are so many reasons to this flirtage:

- we like to feel desired, as someone's pointed out
- it's just the way some girls are... naturally flirty
- it's fun. especially leading men on since you're all so hilariously desperate and we sometimes like to take advantage of that and then throw it back at you. sexistish? PROBABLY.

and many more

i don't really class that as flirting. perhaps i'm just weird :-/

if i have to put "groping" and "feeling up" in the same sentence as the word "flirting" i'd probably call it "heavy flirting".

otherwise, it's just... beyond flirting. slightly.
Not all girls do it. Anyway, some guys do it too.

Because it's a fun.
Anyone whoever suggested a relationship is insecure because they won't tolerate flirting couldn't be more wrong.
Because they're dirty dirty harlots.

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

I flirt in my relationship, don't know if my girlfriend does, but to be honest it would piss me off if she did it in front of me.

Yes - flirting to me does not include groping - it just means chatting to someone in a way that makes them think you might be interested (which often isn't the case, many guys read far too much into girls just being friendly). Groping someone or feeling them up is a whole different ball game.
I'm engaged (yay!) but I still flirt a little bit. I can't help it - it's just the way I am, I guess. I've always got on a lot better with boys than with girls and my natural way of communication often seems to involve a bit of flirting, whether I realise it or not :s-smilie:
Obviously, nothing ever has or will come of it, but it's nice to know that other men do find me attractive and that if anything were ever to happen to my fiance, I wouldn't end up a lonely old maid. Plus, it is fun. But my fiance knows that I would never ever do anything, and so do I. I don't lead guys on to the point where they think they're going to "get it on" or whatever with me - infact, I really don't lead them on at all, as they can see the ring on my finger and are mostly just guy friends. It happens to be the way that I interact with men, its fun, and it never ever leads to anything.

Okay, so I've rambled a bit, but basically, my answer is:
- its nice to know that you're still attractive to other people
- it's good, harmless fun
- it's never going to lead anywhere, and both parties know that

If I ever felt that a guy seriously thought that I was interested in a kiss or something, I would completely back off. That has never happened yet though. Also - as for the petting and groping, I've never experienced that. I classifly flirting as just talking with a guy, maybe being a bit suggestive, and laughing a lot (Lol!). I would never ever go any further than that in flirting with people. After all, I love my fiance with all my heart, and I would never be able to live with the guilt of hurting him. If he ever expressed a wish for me to stop it, I would try my best - as I said, it's just my natural way of communicating with guys.
