So lately my friends are telling me I'm flirting, but I'm thinking their meaning of flirting is different than mine. Plus I have a boyfriend, so I have no intention of actually flirting or taking anything anywhere. Anyways, do you think having a conversation with someone and laughing and what not is flirting. Maybe I'm just blindsided and don't realize I'm doing it or something but yeah. Also, if I AM flirting and have a boyfriend, is there anything wrong with innocent flirting, either knowing you are or not?
Additional info, added Thursday August 6 2009, 2:43 am: I'm a 18/f. Been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years & 4 months.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? shelbz7077 answered Thursday August 6 2009, 1:49 pm: If you are just talking with someone and you laugh it's not flirting. I agree that you shouldn't talk about sexual things with a guy friend.. maybe not even a girl friend unless your boyfriend is okay with it. It can lead to trouble. He will feel like you are too comfortable around that guy and may think something is going on even if there is nothing there. Anyway, you aren't flirting most likely. If you think you are though you may want to tone it down. Maybe you should start hanging more with girls than guys. I'm sure your boyfriend would like that. Hope this helps.

THAT kind of thing is flirtin. also talkin about sexual things and stuff is trouble.
but if you are just talkin and laughin then you arent flirtin.
i think if you know that you ARE 'innocently' flirtin, thats not good. i wouldnt want my boyfriend doin that.

Having a conversation and laughing with someone is not flirting. If that was the case, I would flirt with every single person on the planet because I laugh a lot.
Flirting is when you're saying playful things, like "You look so cute tonight." or something along those lines. Flirting is when you tease somebody and/or give them a hard time because you like them. Flirting is when you're trying to get the person you're talking to to get that you're into them. Having a conversation is simply talking, and laughing because you're enjoying yourself. See what I mean- big difference.
Having a conversation and laughing is harmless. Flirting (when you have a boyfriend) isn't. It's not a super huge deal, but you shouldn't be doing it.
