malachai Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I'm curious to know what people think of teasing in a relationship. I'm not talking about sexual teasing of course, but the teasing that occurs when one or both partners poke fun at their SO. Whether you're in a relationship right now, or you think about your ex(s), I'd like to know what your feelings or experiences on this are. Do you think that teasing is ok/bad? Where do you draw the line? What topics are fair game or out of line? etc. etc. I'm interested in hearing any thoughts or opinions on this
jasmine111 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Whats SO? Anyways teasing is ok in a relationship. People do it all the time, its considered flirting.
Outcast Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Essentially you can never tease someone about something she or he is sensitive about. Some people hate to be teased or don't understand and take it literally in which case you can't do it at all.
Author malachai Posted November 26, 2005 Author Posted November 26, 2005 Whats SO? Anyways teasing is ok in a relationship. People do it all the time, its considered flirting. a lot can be disguised behind the intentions of "teasing". personal attacks, picking on your insecurities, etc. it's easy to point point out flaws and then just say that you're teasing. so that's why i asked what people think about it, is it ok, what is crossing the line, what are some experiences with this, etc.
Devildog Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 It varies from person to person really. Some people have thicker skin than others, have a better sense of humor about themselves. Just pay attention and you will see where the line is at when it comes to teasing. and, uh, I don't advise teasing them in front of their friends or family, or in public in general. No one likes to be embarrassed or made to feel stupid in front of others.
jasmine111 Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 oh well, i guess i cant help since im in highschool and when kids tease eachother in a relationship its like flirting, but sometimes it could be another way of pointing out flaws, definitely. I never thought of it that way, makes me think if some guys are actually pointing out flaws... I think if thats what youre doing than its crossing the line
