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.

@hartfire I think that is the best answer for me. Thank you.

In fact that was so good it makes me want to flirt with you... so are you from Italy or what? ;)
@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?
What is it that you most enjoy about flirting?
@Curiousguy833 Thanks for the pick! :)

@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 🤷🏽‍♂️
