Flirting can be a lot of fun, when done tactfully and in moderation. When I'm with a partner, he is usually the only one I flirt with. When I'm single, I flirt with whoever catches my eye, or usually my brain first...

Over-analyzing this subject (and many others) usually serves to kill most of the fun.

But if there is genuine discomfort on the receiving end, I would expect to be informed, since I usually only flirt with adult males of our fine species, never with children.

A little is harmless I suppose I think everyone wants to know they're still attractive to the opposite sex even if they're in a relationship.

That being said if you're in a relationship and you still constantly need attention from random members of the opposite sex or you're playing footsie with another guy/gal I mean cmon now

It's amazing the boundaries that some people can't even see, let alone be oblivious to the consequences of crossing. Flirting with people other than your date or partner can be a difficult one.
I'm of the school of thought that sees a flirt as harmless banter in the right situation. As with most things in life, there is a right time and right place, get it right and you're just being social, get it wrong and you're being crass or worse, driving a spike through the heart of someone you should be showing more consideration and respect for.
I think perhaps it's time for the world to add dating to the educational curriculum, then we could all quit wasting our time and concentrate on the people with PhDs in romance.

You are a shamless flirt, PhD or not!

My bf of over a year was being flirty with a female friend on FB. Eventually she crossed the line & I had to step in & let her know that I didn't appreciate her advances on my guy. Since then, I've had this fear he's being dis-loyal even though I know it's un-founded. Any suggestions would be great

I am a really big flirt, and sometimes I don't even mean to be. I certainly won't sit there and flirt with a waitress or strangers but I do flirt with my lady friends. I am not a jealous guy and I am not dating a jealous woman, she knows I love her and that she is the only person that I want to be with. Most of my lady friends have boyfriends. I don't think I would date a woman that had a problem with me flirting on occasion with other women (or the occasional gay barista at Starbucks that thinks I am a hot guy).
