"="" okay?"="">
should it be considered "okay" for someone to flirt with someone who has a SO (do not assume married, just dating)?
IMO, i at least understand that you can't control your feelings blah blah blah, but i feel like that's just blatantly disrespectful to not only the person who's "taken" but also yourself. 
what do y'all think?

Flirting is cheating. If you can't respect that someone is in a relationship, you have serious issues.

Never EVER okay. Ever. I wish a chick would. Seriously flirty bird should have more class, and respect for themself, the person they're flirting with and that person's partner. Just tacky.

I'll cut a bitch if she flirts with my husband. Does that answer your question? 😂

If someone's naturally flirty it's whatever. But if you're going out of your way to flirt with someone you know is taken, you're just doing too much. It's basically testing other people's relationships.

I have no issue with flirting. I take issue with touching and with intimacy.

I think it has everything to do with intent. Flirting because it's fun to joke around with someone? Fine, I see nothing wrong with that. Flirting with the intent of trying to get with them? No, that's not okay.

Harmless flirting like what sometimes waiters do or sales people i dont mind. If you know someone has a SO though i feel like its kind of wrong to flirt intentionally with them. Perfect example, my parents own a resturant my dad was walking around talking to ladies with my mom and this lady like would not leave my dad alone she even went as far as locking arms with him and rubbing his shoulders. It was so strange and rude, my mom was right there. My dad even politely asked her to stop. She wasnt drinking or anything. It was so strange. I was very impressed with my mom for staying cool, shes a tiny feisty Italiano lady.

If someone's in a relationship, they're off limits to flirt with, and if they flirt with me, then, dude, you're an asshole. You have a girlfriend/fiancée/wife. At least try to respect her and your relationship.
