Would you like it if your boyfriend did this to you? The trouble is if you can't control this and stop why every should you expect him to do the same for you? If you continue you will undermine your own trust in human self-control and loyalty. It is a double-edged sword. Life is testing you to see whether you are worthy, strong and able enough to work at a good relationship. Do it and the rewards will be yours because you will understand how hard it can be to pass by temptation, but still know it is possible. Go with it and you will never be sure of anyone again. You won't have earned that confidence. Imagine your boyfriends face when he finds out. Still make you happy?

leanne.od agony aunteveryone loves a bit of attention and as long as it is just a bit of fun, it's harmless.

when the suggestions start, such as meeting up, then you hit the panic button, but having a male friend who shows you some compliments and interest, is okay, it makes work that little bit more bareable!!!

You have nothing to worry about, i guess harmless flirting is when knowone can get hurt by the outcome.

I would advise that you think how you would feel if you found the type of messages you send this person on your boyfriends phone from a girl he was harmless flirting with. Be very careful what you say or tell this person and dont allow it to get out of hand, its all to easy to do something you regret, then a bit of fun would have turned into an affair.
