Does the occasional light flirting count as cheating? (Nothing more, just the odd back and forward with a stranger)

Depends on what culture you're in and what agreement you have with your s.o.
In some places, like Italy, flirting is considered nothing but polite.
If flirting upsets your partner, it would probably help to have a conversation with her about what it signifies for you. And also let other women know that you're not actually coming on to them.
Flirting can cause a lot of confusion for everyone if others have no idea of the intent.

@Curiousguy833 My parents lived in Italy for six months when I was a baby. They both learned to speak the language, and spent a lot of time mixing with the locals.
Plus we've had lots of Italian immigrants here since around 1949.
I've travelled there and enjoyed the culture - art, music, architecture, archeology, food, hospitality - and the landscapes.
Italians do flirt in a friendly, natural way - nothing invasive. It's as if they feel that just chatting with the opposite gender is an intrinsic pleasure.
What's your background?

@hartfire yes, I want you to look at your notifications just to see how much I agree with you again.
I can see your questions at the end which I didn’t answer lol, so am... curious, are you really willing to direct msg just to get my thoughts and maybe start a random friendship? Or will I just be another random you met online?
Last note, I will not reply to anything else on just this post... how crazy are you “heartfire”?
Am I normal, or am a not? I don’t know 🤷🏽♂️

@KA9ha yes sir! As long as it doesn’t go anywhere, some people would call it practice haha

@Curiousguy833 light flirting does not lead to any conclusions much less directions.just a wisp of pink air
Curiousguy833 · 31-35, M
@KA9ha ok!! Ok, slow down I need to write this down lol I should be taking notes here.
Btw I agree 100% and honestly for me flirting can be a grey area, it just depends on how much you trust each other and the relationship.

Any and all is according to some............ However if it's as you say, hell even a bit of screwing around with friends ain't bad at all. As long as both parties know the intention. ┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/

That depends... Are they a natural flirt and the partner is okay with it? Then it's okay imo

If your partner is insecure, probably.
Curiousguy833 · 31-35, M
@MostlyBehaved but everyone is insecure about something.. so.. is that really fair? Mainly if you are on top of your game and going whatever you can to make them smile etc

Maybe. Some flirting is unintentional, some flirting is honestly just being friendly. I'd say that if you would be uncomfortable if your partner accidentally saw it then yes its cheating.
