First reply 😆

Well, personally I think that flirting, especially if done with someone you do not know well, can get very dangerous. If you say "I love you," they could take it seriously. Online friendship is very good, but flirting... no way. Everything has an extreme, and people can get extremist as well. They could really get possessive or do something wild.

I see, in a chatroom, things like "I love you my sweet," which I know is just like a joke between two people, but it does make me feel strange. Personally, I have never flirted on IF or anywhere else. I mean, I never say I love you, because I feel uncomfortable saying that phrase. Another thing is that what if your family member reads the transcript? They will not believe that it is a joke, will they? So I would tell everyone not to flirt online.

😊

woooo really interesting topic 😃 😆

I dont believe in online love, flirt and all in a serious way.. but for fun.. to enjoy the moment.. its okay to if we are within the limits..

but its like this.. wen we get really close to ppl as friends.. its like this " we are like best friends so sab kuch chal tha hai" 😛 😆 ..in tht way flirting fr fun is funny.. but faling in love after flirting online i dont believe😆

Now what's your take on virtual flirting? Is it acceptable according to you?

Acceptable if im really close to tht person as a friend.. as i said above.. wid friends everything is okayy..wen we have trust in tht person

What makes it different from real-life flirting?
i dunnno 😕 😆

Is it just a spice or can it be unhealthy aswell?
Cud be unhealthy .. coz i don believe online love, marriage.. flirting seriously.. as long as its taken as fun its fun..n healthy

What's your reaction if anyone would try to flirt with you online?
I guess someone who dont know me wudnt flirt wid me...but i guess i wont talk like tht..we use to block ppl on msn n yahoo also wen strangers add.. so iguess same wud go wen someone adds or flirts online 😆

I beleive that online flirting is safer than the real one cause in online flirting the person who flirts doesn't know ur real identity and this makes the person feel a bit more secure.

But as jink said, flirting with someone u don't know well is always dangerous and also if some stranger starts flirting with u online, it doesn't feel right

so yea...virtual flirting, though safer, is still not good (except if its a dating site! 😆 )

Virtual flirting is okay only if you dont let the person whom you're flirting know about what your real name is, where you live, how you look like in real life...(in short, very, very personal information)
I'm not the type to do such a thing; if someone actually tries to flirt with me then I would try to be as clear as possible that I'm not interested 😉
It is spicy....it's just that thrill that you can flirt with this random person without them ever knowing or meeting you but it could also be unhealthy if things do go too far

interesting topic 😊
Now what's your take on virtual flirting? Is it acceptable according to you?

What makes it different from real-life flirting?
Hehe..most of the tym 4 me it's jus ppl muckin around with me n stuff..in real-life..as far as i no..a lot of ppl percieve it in different ways 😕

Is it just a spice or can it be unhealthy aswell?

Now what's your take on virtual flirting? Is it acceptable according to you?hummmm will say If it is from my friends It's Ok but from strangers not acceptable

What makes it different from real-life flirting?
The main difference is if u want u can just block the person & make him stop flirting in virtual case 😆 😆 😆

Is it just a spice or can it be unhealthy aswell?
It will be spice

What's your reaction if anyone would try to flirt with you online? It's ok if it's from a frind other wise 😕

flirting online... mmm cant say much about it... but i guess it can be a lil awkward if u dont kno the person on the other end...

but its fun at times... so basically am not completely against it... 😛

and yeah flirting in a limit shud also be kept in mind... or else wht is the delete contact option for?? 😉
