As young energetic souls that we are, we do not let our flirting energy get wasted. We like to hit on people we are attracted to and enjoy the conversation that follows. It is not so difficult, to hit on somebody. But what is sometimes difficult, is to decide whether or not you are allowed to hit on them. Oh yeah, that question is real. This struggle is too real. So, why not come up with a negative list instead. Because believe it or not, some people are just OFF LIMITS! Here’s a list of 8 people you are NOT allowed to flirt with-
Your Therapist

You have probably heard this one before. Dear Zindagi anyone? No? If you have a good therapist, they will be very careful and not send any such signals towards you. While feeling attracted to your therapist is a common phenomenon, you must control your feelings because this can go terrible wrong. You are with a therapist to solve your problems, not make more of them!
Your Best Friend’s Girlfriend / Ex

You have probably heard this one before too! FRIENDS anyone? No? Well, this is one of the friendship codes you always have to adhere with. It’s a choice between flirting with them and losing your best friend. Ask yourself if you are willing to make that choice. Of course, not! Let few rules be rules. Do not break them.
Your Ex

Oh man, just don’t. He or she is your *ex* for a reason. Let it be like that. Move on, live your life and let them live theirs. Trust me, this never ends well.
People Who Are Not Single

Before you even begin your arguments on how it’s not immoral, let me stop you and tell you this- IT IS!! Please leave people who are married or dating someone else alone. This is not even about moral science, it is basic human decency. Let there be love. Oh and if you are thinking of that goalkeeper-goal post joke, you better stop thinking.
People Who Are Too Young For You
It is gross. It doesn’t take much to understand who is too young for you. For example, stop messaging and hitting on teenagers online, if you are in your early 30s. Let me make this simpler for you. There is a so-called rule about dating: the youngest age you are supposed to date is half your age plus seven. So, if you’re 24, the youngest age you should consider is 19. For 26, 20! And so on.
Your Teacher

Please, for God’s sake, take out ALL those ideas from your head you get from all the pornography you watch. This is real life. Out here, you respect your teachers. They are like your Guru. It’s not just inappropriate, it is downright disrespectful.
Your Boss And Anyone To Whom You Are A Boss.

Do not flirt with your Boss. Do not flirt with people to whom you are a Boss. It sounds hot and tempting, but it is outright unethical. You will sloppily throw away your professional life and your career in the process, don’t you think?
Someone Who Rejected You

Ever heard of this word called- self respect? Have some. They already know you are interested. Or were! They said No! They have probably moved on. So should you!
Keep this list in mind before your flirting energy gets loose. Okay? Okay.
