After dating someone over months who you have grown to love you decide to ask
them if they would go 'steady' and not date other people. Up untill now you
and your SO have been able to see other people but neither of you were 

inclined to. So after thinking about it for a minute your SO says yes and is
overjoyed and admits that they've been thinking the same thing for a while.
However shortly after your SO has to take a friend back home so they won't be
out too late and your SO says that they won't be returning. After your SO 
leaves your friend's SO starts to come on to you, and admits that they have
had a crush on you. Do you continue to flirt even though you are going 

'steady'?

No.

Nope.  In that situation, I probably wouldn't even want to.

no.

I wouldn't, only because if I'd decided to date someone on a "steady"
basis, it would have been a BIG decision, and not one that I should
overturn lightly.

so, like, you expect honest answers to this question? Anyone who would say yeis
a jerk, right? And if you say no it's just because this is only a question aand
not an actuall situation. Who knows? Maybe you both have had a lot to drink.
Who knows?

The real situation wouldn't come up, because I would never make a commitment
like that.
(before you call me a jerk, btw, I've been with the same woman 12 years --
but we've never made that commitment -- quite the opposite)

Flirt! od of course> You never know when you will need to take advantage
of that offer, besides flirting can be expained away.

I "flirt" with friends, and it all fun and teasing.  They're happily
married, and so am I.  So as long as the question is about
flirting and not about sincere sexual advances, yes.

Good flirting is an art, as is successfully teasing with out hurting
anyone else.  I have a wonderful friend who is a very accomplished
flirt...but she'd never cross the line to kissing/making out/going
home with anyone but her husband, and it's all verbal, except for
maybe a hand on a shoulder or arm.

So yes, and I don't think it makes me a jerk.  Just an adult who
is beyond the adolescent stage where flirting leads to hurting.

I know that I would not, because the idea of hurting my SO like that 
makes me sick.

I personally wouldn't... but then again, it wouldn't be my nature anyways.
I just couldn't if I were dating someone on a "steady" basis.

 absolutly not.

 <8*} I don't think you want me to answer that <;}

If it were simply low-scale flirting I'd probably just shrug it off, but I 
definitely would NOT act on it.  

What is a flirt? Flirtation is very natural.

I only date farm animals.

Diznave amuses me. When the revolution comes, he may live. In such a
situation, I would not act on it for two reasons.First, I am utterly
loyal.Second, I'd probably be too dense to figure out that they were flirting
in the first place, unless they were prone to bludgeoning.

I agree with #9 in general.
However in this situation it might be awkward because the other person clearly
wants something more when you don't.  So I probably wouldn't flirt.
