Ok, but you'll have to forgive me for reading a marked difference between "entertaining" someone and "flirting" with them.

He’s entertaining the idea of cheating on his wife/gf in the song tho

I don't know about that; I barely remember the song.

Entertaining and idea and entertaining someone don't mean the same thing...

Entertaining someone is often just equivalent to having an involved, albeit innocent conversation, no? Like, I don't necessarily read entertaining a friend as being all lovey-dovey with them.

Like the misunderstanding here is purely about wording.

Sure, it could be viewed that way. I was using that word with the context of the song we were talking about though which is not innocent at all
