Rarely. That's like saying "casual drinking of beer leads to casual drinking of hard liquor leads to alcohol addiction." While it's true that nearly all alcoholics probably followed that path, it's also true that the overwhelming majority of people who started out casually drinking of beer DON'T end up becoming alcoholics.

Oh c'mon!!! Are you REALLY intending to say that "most people," statistically, who flirt end up having affairs? I'm not sure what the current statistics are on affairs, and like most polls, it all depends on how you define "affair" and how you ask the question, the methodology, etc., but let's say it's 40% for men and 35% for women, just for the sake of argument. Probably 90% of both flirt!!!
I dunno, Allen, maybe you're defining "flirting" differently than I am. I like to define flirting the same way I define EAs: if you're not comfortable with your spouse seeing/hearing what you're doing, then it's not appropriate. And I'm saying that there are millions of happy, healthy marriages out there, where the man or the woman is perfectly comfortable with their spouse harmlessly acting flirty even when it's in front of them. In fact, if done properly, some spouses find the confidence attractive.
And trust me, they'll let you know when you crossed the line.
