Why is it we women can pick up on stuff that men can't???


Okay, so, I have another "another woman" story.

Hmmm, right or wrong, I don't know, but weird, it is.....perhaps either you or T could have asked "what for? what do you have in mind? is it something you need to know now? or do you want to get together all of us? why don't you give me your number and then when we have time, I'll give you a call for a get together." I think that T might have given her mixed signals (not consciously) in their conversation, such that she thought it was allright to ask for his number in front of you. We humans are known for giving mixed signals at times unintentionally.

Cl-Shywon,

It doesn't how many women flirt with your boyfriend, you only need to worry about your boyfriend's reaction to it. The only time I would feel a ping or a feeling in my gut is if I felt something was amiss.

Did you ever find out how old she actually was? If she was in her early twenties, I could almost overlook the incident. However, by ones mid to late twenties, they should know better than to do something like this. Don't you think?

I know you weren't seeking advice but ions ago when I was in a serious relationship (ha) I would always go out of my way to befriend these types of girls. I wouldn't necessarily take them to lunch or anything but when we were at the same functions, I would make a point to go over and hang out with them for a while. Sometimes I found that they didn't have ulterior motives while other times, they realized that they had better steer clear.

Not to say that I didn't hold my ex responsible for his actions as well, I did, but I wasn't about to be disrespected by one of these "bobby" chick's feigning naivete in order to get away with blatant disregard of another.

I would think that was wrong, too, IF it wasn't a good friend of his.

>>Now, is it just me, or is it a little wrong to ask for another guy's number in front of his girlfriend? (and in front of her boyfriend as well)<<

Um, yes. She's a social idiot. The most important thing to observe, though, is how T reacts. He was obviously annoyed and not egging her on. Good sign - score one for T.

I love how you call her "boppy" - that's the perfect adjective for the hair-twirling types. LOL. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

She didn't look more than 21/22, but she could have been older.

Is T's brother younger than him? If so, that would explain a lot. If not, maybe she went to school with a sibling of someone closer to T's age. Why am I analyzing this? Anyway, glad you don't see her as a threat. You shouldn't. Oh, I was going to ask, b/c I'm a nosey b*otch, why did bobby girls boyfriend know how to clear a room? Was he a huge flirt or something? A cheesed*ck? Just curious.

His brother is younger, but only by a couple of years.
