Flirt = Affair? Wtf?

In RL, it would depend on what the intention of the flirter is. For Sim A and B who are in a committed relationship, for Sim A to go "flirt" with Sim C, what is your intention for Sim A as to why you directed it? Do you want it to lead to something more? If not, why would you do it? In RL, this is called "leading someone on." If you don't want the memory, just don't do it, unless you intend to follow it up with more romantic interactions. There are plenty of other social interactions Sims can do (admire, play, dance, hug, dirty joke, dine out, etc.) to show emotional interest without triggering a crush/love relationship.
Now, what I consider "way out" is when two Sims who just met will lock lips in a good-bye kiss when they part company. This doesn't happen in RL! Honestly, I had a pair who's relationship was at 3/0, do the moaning kiss good-bye! What gives? This same pair would shoo the other off if the suggestion of playing red hands were introduced, but gimme a lip smacker to send me off? You bet! I have also had the greeting "smooch" kiss counted as a "kissed so&so for the first time" memory. Don't know if that's a glitch, 'cause it doesn't always occur.
Just want to say I have the Romance Mod and No Random Flirt Wants installed. They are just great and add much more realism to the game. I love seeing my engaged and married couples nix any flirting that comes their way so I don't have to worry about dealing with unwanted love/crushes popping up all over. I had one Sim that I directed to flirt (unsuccessfully) with a married Sim lady three times when I was testing this Mod in my game. Their relationship was at 100/83. He was so frustrated, that he next rolled a want to buy a love potion! Ha ha!

I know a lot of people think Dr. Phil is a hack but I believe he has said a few gems of wisdom. If you feel like you cannot flirt with someone else in front of your partner then you shouldn't be doing it.

I understand getting the affair memory if your playable initiates the flirting action, directed or not. However, getting the memory when a townie does it? Huh-what? It isn't Francis's problem that Eva Cooper, who he's just hung out with a couple times, grabs him to make out with him.

Actually, it is his fault. Sims may reject or accept any flirt initiated by another Sim. If they accept the flirt, then they are guilty. Rejected flirts don't cause the cheat memory.

Trick being, by default, sims basically never reject anything, because the reject point is so far below the initiation point that only drama professors and other sims which ignore checks would ever pull one that results in rejection. Romance mod fixes this.
