To a lot of people, cheating on their partner only happens when there is a sexual intercourse with another person. But this isn’t true; there are many ways people cheat on their partner, and flirting is one of such ways.
1. IT SHOWS INTENT
Flirting shows a desire to have a moment with that person, either sexual or something related to that. It shows intent, and that intent alone can do a lot to make you go all the way.
2. IT CARRIES EMOTIONS
Flirting comes with a lot of emotions; emotions that could make you think more of that person and make you want to be with that person. Flirting evoke similar emotions as cheating, emotions which are due to your partner alone.
3. WHEN IT SHOWS SEXUAL ATTRACTION
When flirting reaches a point of being sexually attracted to another person, then it counts as cheating, because right in your heart, you’ve had many fantasies about being with that person sexually.
The issue of flirting is an age long one, but I believe it counts as cheating, even though you don’t get to cheat in the real sense of the word.
