Just curious about others thoughts here.
What do you make of when you receive attention from someone other than your partner?

Assuming you are talking about attention that feels like it is beyond innocent banter....
I am very good at playing dumb. I just act as if it all is going over my head. If she makes a flirtatious remark, I answer in a way that "misinterprets" her intent in an innocent way.
I have encountered a few posts online by women who complain that some men don't even know when they are being flirted with. I have to wonder when I see those posts. If those men are like me, they know very well what is going on, and this is their way of rebuffing the flirter.
