Is flirting dangerous for someone in a relationship?

[Senator]

I have a friend who has a girlfriend who lives far from where he lives. This girlfriend has a man friend in the place where she lives and works. They seem close and the man friend keeps o posting on her wall in facebook postings like you have a good heart, you have a big smile, calling her dear all the time and even posting statements like I hope you woke up today feeling very happy with exclamation marks. My friend is really worried about this trend. Is he reading too much on this or do you think the galfriend is innocent?

I wouldn't necessarily consider being friendly with flirting. I could think of other words and phrases other than "dear" to use if I was a flirt. What is posted seems to be nothing but greetings from one friend to another. I think he is reading too much into this. The gf isn't on trial so should be considered "innocent". Not much there to worry about.

I would suggest your friend should tell his girl friend how he feels about her man friend posts on facebook without doubting her loyalty to your friend. Let her handle her man friend.

The guy is trying to seduce her, but is she falling for it? Your friend should talk to her about it, and see what he thinks. My guess is that she got lonely and the other guy was there for her. Could be even more, but I could not say without more information.

Long distance relationships rarely work, because one or the other ends up getting lonely and cheats.
