Why do girls tell guys that they have a boyfriend somewhere else but still continue to flirt?
474919
They flirt with other guys when they're boyfriend isn't there because they want the attention they're not getting from their boyfriend.

Because the guy is thinking he might want to screw around on his girl, and he KNOWS that won't happen if the other girl knows he's not single.

My boyfriend always flirts and looks at other girls, but we are older (mid 30s-ish).  We know that our base relationship is rock solid and we are both comfortable that flirting is just fun and that we would never act on it.\n\nIt depends on your relationship with him.  It's hard to tell with younger guys though.  They sometimes are real pains-in-the-rears.

Could be one of the following:\n\n1) Do you have a boyfriend/husband/partner?\n2) Something sexual\n\nIn either case, he's almost certainly flirting with you.

No way.\n  If a guy has a girlfriend, why would you flirt with him. If you had a boy friend you wouldn't like it if someone flirted with him knowing that you were his girlfriend. It is called common courtesy. It makes you look like a jerk and someone that is not trustworthy or with no morals.\nThere are so many guys out there. Why are you wasting your time flirting with one that is taken. It makes you look cheap.Or insecure.\n\nIf you flirt with this guy and he and his lady break up, he could blame it on you, or, if he does give you a try, he already knows that you are a shyster so he won't trust you.\nSo, find someone else.

I wouldn't trust him because sometimes flirting can lead to other activities that are not in a Girlfriend's benefit! Men who flirt too much are show offs! They want to know that they can seduce girls! They're powerful that way, and so No, I wouldn't trust a flirty boyfriend! There are so many girls out there trying to steal one's BF, wouldn't want mine giving them mixed signals, if you know what I mean...

The main reason is not to hurt the current guy or have him think we are slutty.  Also it is possible that she's only counting relationships, not the randoms.\n\nPersonally I do think that this is pretty sketchy behavior.  But mostly forgivable if explained.

I agree, They should at least have it in them to admit it.. LOL...but I think men do it, in case some other girl is listening, so he can have her as a back up, in case the one he is interested in, doesn't want him...  :)

because they think if they make the girl happy the girl will let them do more stuff and its an easier way to hook up with someo one...guys are dogs lol

They are playing hard to get. I don't understand why they do it but they do. They want the girl to "sweat" it out. The guy thinks that they really got it going on. If he sees you with another guy, its competition and they will call you back.

If they know it bothers you and you claim they are doing it on purpose, just pretend it doesn't. It seems that the root of her flirting is to get at you, just smile and say to her..."isn't MY boyfriend great", to her. Pretend you think it is totally an ego booster for you to know that someone else wants  your guy. Reverse psychology, baby!

because its a mans first insticnt to do whatever it takes to get out of trouble. Most guys lie about it because they don't like getting in fights with their girlfriends and they don't like to see them cry. Also a lot of men are shallow, and if for some reason you "aren't giving him what he 'needs' then they feel bad about window shopping for another girlfriend. I know, its happened to me a few times. Men are stupid sometimes.

Some people do it without even noticing. Its just how they interact with people. The flirting is harmless as long as the other person is on the same page. Don't lead them on to believe there could be something more when you know there can't be.

She most likely wants to keep you in the "friend zone".  By telling you about the guy she likes, she is making sure that you know she is interested in someone else and not you.

I've been guilty of doing this same thing in the past.  He probably loves his girlfriend and wouldn't trade her for the world.  However, he wants to know that he can still get attention from other females.  So, he's flirty with you to satisfy the attention craving.  It's an ego thing. \n\nWhat I would do, if you are interested, is break his ego.  Tell him that he only flirts with you because he needs to know if he can get other girls.  If he really likes you and wants to be with you then he should break up with his girlfriend first before making a pass at you.\n\nI wouldn't tell his girlfriend about the situation.  You may cause problems in their relationship and trust me you won't get the rebound if they break up.  He will resent you.

you have a boyfriend and you want your so called friends approval? sorry i don't get it, if he's your boyfriend and there your mates how come they don't know him and have only seen a pic. my advise get new friends. i could never in a million years tell my friends that their  boyfriends weren't good looking even if that's what i thought, and i would never tell them that they could do better unless he was been horrible to her. true friends accept each others partners and even if your not that keen you pretend for their sakes. Also your the one who is with him not them and like i've said before looks are'nt everything.

No, i used to have a girl friend and we would both flirt with other people. That's not why we broke up. It's just fun to flirt. If your boyfriend has a problem with it just remessge me.
