What To Do If Your Man Is Too Flirty

9 November 2008 473 views 2 Comments

Flirting can be fun, for men and women alike.  But when your man goes too far it can be hurtful, and also cause way too many arguments.  Usually, all of which were un-necessary and avoidable.  But what can you do if your man is too flirty?  It’s can be a sensitive issue for those concerned and a tricky one to solve.  Mainly because it depends a lot on who he’s flirting with, and exactly what you think it too far.

The Fundamental Flaw

What is the definition of ‘flirt’?  We use the word a lot, but does anybody really know how to define it?  In real terms.  According to the Oxford dictionary, it means, ‘to behave in a frivolously amorous or sexually enticing manner’.  Are we any more the wiser?  Frivolously amorous?  What does that actually mean?  Frivolous means not serious, or silly.  So the first thing to determine has to be, are you sure he’s serious?  Or is he just being friendly?  Maybe he’s even nervous.  Is he really trying to entice her, in a sexual manner?  Or is he just a tactile person.  If he was behaving in the same manner with a male friend, would you feel the same?  When you’re in Love it can be easy to loose your perspective.

The Symptoms

What exactly is it that makes you think he’s flirting?.  Are you sure this is the case?  You could be feeling this way because there are other signs, within the relationship, that make you believe there is going to be a separation.  Has he stopped calling so often?  Or maybe he always seems to be busy these days.  Maybe that is the truth.  It is possible that work is pressuring him right now and he needs some space.  You might feel upset by this, but being over possessive when you finally do get together will only add to his problems.

Married Men

Ask a married man why he flirts and he’ll tell you it’s because he’s “human”.  That in itself is debateable, and I guarantee his wife would beg to differ with his reasoning on that one.  No, all joking aside!  The general consensus, amongst married men, seems to be, if they don’t take a phone number then it’s doesn‘t matter.  Have you ever thought, maybe that’s true?

Accusations

Some men flirt, the same way they breath.  For instance, does he call everyone babe and sugar?  Including you.  He may not even know he’s doing it.  Why don’t you point it out, without the accusations?  Talk it through, but there is a really easy solution to this one.  Change your ‘pet’ name.  Ask him to either call you something else, or them!  What can you do if your man is too flirty?  Talk it through, don’t argue about it.  And most of all, keep things in their proper perspective and be realistic when it comes to human nature.  Sometimes we are all guilty of simply expecting too much.
