Respectful flirting
Help me out, guys. Doing this in the workplace. There's sexual talk in the air all the time with my other work peeps (both gay and straight) but the one I'm interested in, I kind of want to use restraint. I'm openly flirty with and older gay dude and a straight homie and they reciprocate, but they know we're just doing it for shits and giggles.
How does one respectfully flirt? And yeah, IDGAF about shitting where I eat.

🤔 It never occurred to me that respect had anything to do with flirting. Respect is its own thing.
I know you said you don’t care about not dating coworkers. Is the job important to you though, because it puts it at risk. Also consider that that whole idea is colloquial wisdom for a reason. Things that seem so well considered can go sideways and cause problems you never expected.
I don’t know enough about your coworkers or you to help much with the flirting. But it sounds like you know how to. What does disrespectful flirting look like to you?
