  1. Wrong answer.
    This is never okay, go back again see if you can find the correct answer.
  2. There is a huge difference between flirting and sexual harassment. Flirting is a normal part of dating, harassment is not. Flirting expresses a liking for another person; harrassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. It is understandable for a guy to want to protect his manhood, but when aggression is shown toward a significant other that is not acceptable. We all have strong feelings at times, but we all need to learn to control them. When a person constantly checks up on another, it suggests they do not trust you. Trust is a large part of a healthy relationship. Without trust, a relationship can not grow.
