A serious relationship can be flirtious you know?
It's fun to flirt and it's even more fun knowing they will flirt back (BC they love you) and will end up in your bed (BC they're your partner)
Flirting with your partner is one thing but this post is talking about losing your flirting skill after the relationship is over.
And what I am saying is if you were still using your flirting skill other than with that one person and your flirting skill is still as good as when your relationship started than maybe you were not fully committed to that relationship. Because obviously you were flirting around town!
No I think mrscollector has a point, though her first comment came off too strongly. Being with someone for a long time makes you get used to their style of humor and even the flirting/remarks you two make which would probably be way too cheesy to make in front of someone you don't know that well yet.
It definitely is. But when the relationship ends and you try those cheesy lines on someone new, they might be weirded the hell out, is what I meant. Hence "losing your flirting skills" because all the pickup lines have been replaced by cheesy remarks. Flirting is also about being able to read people to tell what kind of flirting they might like, whether it's more on the side of cheesy jokes or sexy teasing, but when you've only flirted with one person for years, you might have lost that perspective. And the only way to keep that perspective is by flirting with people who aren't your partner. I think that's why mrscollector meant by her original comment as well.
I wouldn't really know, I'm the type of person that never looks at my relationship as "casually" and "overly comfortable" and stop flirting just BC I've been dating for a long time.
A tip on keeping the relationship new and fun is to never stop chasing after your partner, keep the love passionate and exciting.
Which means flirt (in many ways, not just the silly 5-years-in-couply way)
