Am I really flirting?

    Okay folks.

    I'm 30, happily married and with my partner over 10 years.

    It was recently brought to my attention by male and female friends that when we are out in a bar I spend a bit of time talking to other women. My wife also has mentioned it in the past but I don't think she felt too bothered by it as I didn't make a big deal of it.

    I have never strayed and have never given her reason to think I would nor do I have absolutely any intention of doing so, I love my partner and we have a healthy relationship and sex life.

    Now I will admit I am a very open and friendly person and I have built my career in sales on talking to people so it becomes very natural to me. I probably talk to men randomly as much but my friends said all the women are very attractive so I must have some motive. It's all pretty harmless chat, nothing like "do you have a boyfriend?" or anything like that.

    I'm trying to figure out why do I do this? Am I testing myself and seeing are good looking women interested in me still?

    To be honest I wouldnt worry about it. From teens up to adulthood when people see two members of the opposite sex talking and laughing no doubt someone will label it as "flirting"

    As long as you aren't touchy feely or asking about their love life like you mentioned I wouldnt worry

    TBH all you have to worry about is what your wife thinks of it. I'd be similar to you, very chatty and quite flirty. But I always wear wear my ring and never avoid qs about my partner. My soon to be wife is perfectly happy because she's well aware of who I am and TBH she's said that even when I'm flirting and chatting I give off a "happily taken" vibe, which you probably are too.
