What is the limit on flirting? By Jesus_Sandals - Fri, 23 Mar 2007 05:23:56 GMT

=========

I will admit that I LOVE female martial artists. I would prolly end up flirting with a female in my class, saying things like "This isn't gonna ruin our chances is it?" when I get a girl in a headlock. I want to know from female martial artists what the limit on flirting would be? What would make you feel uncomfortable? Should I even be flirting with the girl students? >.<

Btw you don't have to tell me I'm a bad person...

Who doesn't?

I would say that if you were teaching them it would probably be pretty unprofessional.

Some women would have no problem with it, some may like it, others may have you up for sexual harrassment (sp).

I would say play it safe and don't do it, unless of course she flirts with you first!

Class is for training. If you wouldn't flirt with your male training partners, don't flirt with the female. If you want to try your luck, do so after class. Leave your ego and your romance at the door.

It all depends.

Seriously.

Of course, if you end up up close and personal, it's probably not a good idea.
If the Lady in question is otherwise spoken for, don't do it.

And if you get too obvious, it can get on everybody's nerves and you risk getting your tail kicked by every female in the class!

And if you are the instructor....it's poor taste (though my instructor ended up marring one of his students, but I am sure, she bagged him, and they don't act married in public...)

Good stuff, Cake.

What about the girls that don't train but just hang out at the gym so they can watch and be around fight guys? Is it okay to flirt with them

I had, and still have a very strict rule about not dating my students. I broke the rule once, and now I'm happily married to her, but

1. she came after me hard
2. I told her right off the bat, no quitting, and no turning into the girl who thinks her boyfriend is picking on her (class and relationship) are separate

and, she has stuck with that for 6 years now.

Very odd case I would have to say though.

The bad thing about relationships in the dojo, is when they don't work out, it affects your training, their training, and business in general for the dojo.

Best of luck to you though,

But if you spend most of your waking hours at the Dojo....

Hard to find a mate elsewhere!

Try not to spend most of your waking hours there. And it doesn't have to be that no dating allowd, just make sure that you both mutually agree that it won't affect you, training, or others in the end, regardless of the outcome.

Adults, we have so far to go yet.

LOL! I act

Actually want to spend more time thee, but then, I was spoken for before I started - missed out on some flirting it seems!

Ok let me ask a question to Cakegirl or any other girls who are well advance in their martial arts.

I have seen a lot of girls in MA, going out with guys who are well experienced in their martial arts. I don't know if this is about protection or what ?

I was wondering is it an issue with you girls going out or marrying a guy who has no martial arts background whats so ever ?

He does do the occasion exercise, but nothing to with MA.
Does Martail Arts in a guy matter or not ?
Would you go oout witha guy who is a belt lower than you ?
