Would you flirt with a married follower of Christ?
According to friends locally, this is a tougher question than I thought.

It's a pretty easy question.
No. I wouldn't flirt with ANY married man, Christian or not.
Of course, I may be my natural friendly self with someone and have them (or another) interpret it as flirting, but I would never purposely do it.

Mmmm... uhmmm... lol. No! To me, married men aren't even attractive. I get a little grossed out when my friends point out that they think a married man is attractive.
Psssst.....Michael, this is "She Says".

I am very careful about how I treat the single men, that I know, MUCH-LESS the married ones. I am careful whom I hug, and how close I get to them. I don't like just anyone to hug me though, and I don't want just anyone calling me baby or sweetie or whatever. I am careful about that too. I only flirt with someone that I am interested in ONLY!!!

No! Unless they're in their 90s and they won't consider it flirting. They'll just call you a sweet child. But then, if you're 90 and single, don't flirt with married 90 year olds either. That's just not right!

No I would not go near a married man. Marriage is hard enough, that no one needs someone trying to flirt with them if they are married. We reap what we sow. If we are flirtatious when we are single toward married people, whose to say that when we ourselves are married we wont have others flirt with our mates. Because of this (and becasue its wrong) I just dont do these types of things.

Speak cordially with a married coworker I pass by on occasion? Yes. Flirt with him? No.
I hope I'm not as big of a flirt as I was in my 20s. I could be VERY obvious with men I was interested in.
Now, I want to be genuine. Mutual banter is great when you click with a single guy you're interested in.
Flirting to get him to think I'm cute/pretty/sexy and to get him to pay attention to me? No... That's more about getting an ego stroke than it is showing interest in who the other person is.
I hope the growth God has done in me has gotten me mostly out of that habit. Time will tell.... I'm sure I'll be tested. May I not be found lacking...

That's the tricky part - flirting is open to interpretation. I'm incapable of dishonesty; incapable of subtlety, and I really have no idea even how to flirt. I don't really even think I would recognize flirting if it were directed at me. I was the same way when I was single...my brain doesn't really grasp the concept. But I'm genuinely interested in people - I try to be. I do worry sometimes how that is interpreted. But sometimes it's not about the right and wrong of setting out to flirt with someone - sometmes the most innocent of interactions, with the most genuine of intentions, can be misconstrued and, IMO, that's the fault of the "flirtee" not the assumed "flirter".

Flirt? Nope.
Tease a married friend? That could happen.

I run from married men. LOL. I have a couple married friends, but if I find out that someone is married, I look at them almost sideways for a while as we get to know one another if I have to know him for one reason or another. I look for rings so that I can go the other way.

I'm surprised that you considered this a "difficult question".
