What is considered flirting in a text?
But she warns people on both ends of these messages that texting warps the reality of a situation – and the person. “When you're messaging someone, you're actually creating this image within your mind. You're not actually seeing the person in real life. So when you're writing to them and you're getting responses back, [the person] can be whoever they want to be at that particular time.
“You are creating this image and you can start falling in love with this person emotionally. It's the visionary side of things of what they're building up in their minds. They start thinking, ‘Wow, this person is so amazing, what they're writing is so amazing. It's so connecting.”
Ultimately, this is up to the people within the relationship to decide
Via text, someone can misconstrue almost anything if the context is misunderstood. However, Jessica says, “If you use texts to turn friendship into something intimate, show more respect to your partner. Texting is just as bad as kissing if it's a strategy to get the recipient into bed. In that case, putting a kiss (an ‘x') at the end of a message really is a deep betrayal.”
Is flirting cheating in a relationship?
Some couples may see flirting as just a bit of harmless fun. Others see it as insulting and a serious betrayal to the relationship. If you're having to ask the question, “am I cheating by messaging this person?”, then perhaps it's time to take another look how you're texting – and your relationship itself.
Emma explains, “I f a person is having to seek validation and emotional connection from other people, they are never going to be able to sustain a happy, faithful relationship.”
People seeking validation outside their relationships has become especially prominent in the last year, Emma tells GoodtoKnow. “ Everyone is looking to out-do each other, compete against each other. It's always that competition of ‘I need to loved by everyone, told how wonderful I am'. What I'm finding is people would rather get 100 likes than a relationship with one person.
