Is playing footsies with a guy considered cheating?

[Coolchica94]

I was at work today and my boss, who is about 10 years older than me and has a girlfriend already, was talking to me. All of a sudden, he took his foot and started lightly rubbing my feet with it. I hoped if I ignored him he would stop, but when he didn't after atleast 10-15 seconds, I finally had to lightly push his foot away so he would stop. He's flirted with me before, but he's not usually that directly physical about it. So was it wrong for me to let him keep doing that, since he has a girlfriend? I'm almost positive he wouldn't have done that if she had been standing there. Or do you think it meant nothing, and I'm reading into it too much?

You did the right thing. Obviously he's trying to push the boundaries of his flirting. If you let him continue he will continue to advance on you. Footsies is just one way of slowly affirming that you want to be intimate with him.

 

If you want to be intimate with you, let him continue. He is ready to cheat on his gf for you If not, keep pushing back and he should get the hint. If he doesn't, verbal communication is necessary.

I agree he is pushing boundaries. And most likely he will KEEP pushing to see how far you will go. If you are not interested in him (which I hope you aren't!) then you should assert yourself and tell him that you want to keep things strictly professional. I think you should do this now before things escalate further.
