... or not?
Harmless? or dangerous?
what do you PERSONALLY think? This is not a "right or wrong" answer.
Personal opinions only.... along with any reasoning ... thanks!
It can be both. One of those involved might just be joking around but the other one involved might infer it differently. There can be confusion that leads to unwanted trouble in one or more forms.
I am not in favor of it at all because a person who might feel un-fulfilled or needy at home whether single or in a relationship, might start depending upon the attention or excitement it brings to them and put forth less effort in their current real-life relationship or into pursuing a real one, should they be single and looking.
I have had married male posters offer me their email addresses asking me to email them anytime. I knew them well enough to know they
weren't flirting with me,
but I never did engage. I didn't want the cyber-relationship to become personal. I didn't/don't have a need for that and could foresee the potential problems it might create,
should I have had.
In the past, PM rep comments, joking around while thanking a person, could also be taken out of context should the wrong ( insecure ) person see them. That did happen once. lol
Best to treat another they way you want to be treated. I wouldn't want my man flirting ( as I define that ) with anyone on board, so I wouldn't do that to him.
