I'm in a very happy relationship with my boyfriend. I love him so freaking much. Of course both of us have had our share of ppl confessing to us.

I'm very touchy and flirtatious by nature. Ppl tend to receive it well, but before I give them the wrong message I let them know that I'm not actually hitting on them. Most ppl take this well and understand. In fact most of my friends will just casually, platonically hit and compliment each other.

My current issue is that after I reject someone, I can't be flirty with them. These ppl are usually someone I consider a friend. I feel a little awkward, like I'm leading them on. In turn, they think I'm mad at them. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to act. Should I just be normal? Would setting boundaries make me seem mean or bitchy? Idk what I'm supposed to do
