There's a simple rule of thumb when it concerns things like this:

1) If he did the same thing, would you be fine with it?

2) Would you feel comfortable acting the same way with him around, watching you?

 

If the answer to the above is no, then it's inappropriate. If it's yes, then chances are, it's not. It sounds like you guys just have a flirty friendship, and nothing more.

 

Yes, that's pretty much the golden rule of thumb.

 

Thanks, I read through that I can confidently say "no" to all of them. I'm going to tell my SO my concerns and if he is uncomfortable with it, change my behavior or set more strict boundaries. If not, i'll still probably do the same thing so as not to come off flirty.

 

I think that's the best route to take. Even though you may have no romantic interest in your friend and it's completely innocent on your part (IE: flirty friendship), it can send out the wrong signals and be misconstrued.
