I have a account on a couple of sites where I share my photography photos and we comment on each other's work. Anyway , I got a pm from a friend tonight that accused me of flirting because I have nice things to say about her photos. I comment on everyone's photos in the same manner . Men or women . She said her male friend didn't like it . So I no longer associate with her at all . Much easier that way. Who needs the aggravation.

I hate that. I try to be nice and someone thinks I want to get in their pants, it's ridiculous.

Best to stop talking to her so her crazy boyfriend doesn't insecurely freak out on you.

You're right not to associate with trouble. You just don't need it. My partner's a photographer and belongs to a couple of sites like that and he is very careful in what he writes because he knows that if people are jealous of someones photos, they can accuse them of flirting and their rep is ruined and at times they are banned from sites altogether. He has seen that happen so often. So his terms are general and honest without any possibility of him being accused of anything.

Which must be hard for him because he can be a bit of a flirt. Used to bother me but I had better things I wanted to feel so I let it go, gawd it feels good not to feel bugged

Just let them go jump my dear friend,

It happens a lot to me......I am very friendly and some people take it as being flirty.
I was friends with someone that accused me of being flirty with a young lady. Young enough to be my daughter. I was so offended that I cut off our friendship. I will not be accused, nor allow anyone to accuse me of being a flirt. If I think you're cute, I'll tell you, Hey, you're really cute. If you look nice I'll say...hey, you look nice. If I think otherwise, I don't say anything. I like being friendly and meeting people.....am I a flirt? If you try to put the move(s) on me you will find out.

You know, I have a lot of guy friends, people i love but would in no way want to start a sexual relationship with. You would be suprised how often I have had to curtail contact with them because others, from my mom to the guys' new in-laws, whatever, can't picture contact across the genders as anything except sexual. That seems to be the defining factor behind relationships in some peoples' minds. I'm surpisedthey can hug their kids with a clear conscience!

You did the right thing. You can't do anything about jealousy, or why she decided to come back at you (I mean, Chris, if she needed his help to decide whether or not you were flirting, something there is not right!). Knock the dust off your feet and don't look back! Huggggsssss
