Upset by your partner flirting with work colleagues? And the perfect man...
In today's Sun newspaper I've commented on a big survey about the attributes women want in their "perfect man" - I must say they're pretty spot on with what's important - a sense of humour, trust, and not a whole heap of ex-partners and emotional baggage in the background!
Over to office flirting...I think most people accept there’s a lot of banter in offices that could be described as flirting. Obviously most people are savvy about not crossing over into sexual harassment and here I’m talking about when colleagues or friendly with each other and don’t mind a bit flirty banter.
But what about when they have a partner at home? Where does it cross the line between a bit of banter and being overly flirty? We’re discussing this today on my ‘Love Doc’ slot today at 8:20 AM with Angela and Spence on the Heart Northwest and Wales breakfast show.
TODAY’S TIP: My biggest tip when it comes to flirting at the office is this: would you say the things you say to your flirting colleagues if your partner was standing there listening? If ‘yes’ you would, then your banter’s within the bounds of acceptability.
If that finger of guilt creeps through your mind and you think you ‘no’ I wouldn’t say those things to my flirty colleague if my partner was there, then you know you’re crossing the line.
It can be a slippery slope to taking things too far so concentrate on not jeopardising your relationship.
Here’s to a happy relationship, Pam X
