Men And Women Friendship
« on: September 19, 2008, 06:51 PM »

I am starting to suspect that one of my male friends actually has a crush on me.  It seems that he always finds fault in who i date and now who i married.  He is always trying to put doubt in my head about my hubby and used to do it with everyone i dated.

How can i know if he really is looking out for my best interest or if he has alternative motive?

Do men really do this sort of thing?

Have any of you women experienced this?

It goes to show that your marriage aint as strong as you think it is. If it was, then you wouldn't be fazed about what other folk who aint even in the marriage are saying. As long as yal got each other, everyone else can go screw themselves on a mountain.

Yes!!!!
Some men with vaginas do!!!

I don't have female friends. . . . . . .What kinda friendship exists between a LION and an antelope??
If u are not careful, your so called male friend is actually scheming to get into your french knickers.
I think it's about time u tell the cock-sucker to go mess himself.

Sista dont get it twisted  Grin  I love my man and I aint going no where.  Grin Grin Grin

Just wondering if this dude is up to something else.  I dont want anyone around that could be a wedge in my marriage.  Ya feel me.

If they look like, smell like or act like a problem i get rid of them.  But if he truly is looking out for my best interest then I will keep him around.  I dont want to end a friendship because i suspect he may have something up his sleave.  He maybe just trying to get me to see things from a different perpective.  but because he has done this for many years with every r/s then i am starting to wonder if no man is good enough but him.

Sistawoman, i have majority male friends oka. In fact, they are my best friends. But never have any of them tried to include themselves in my dating life. They know their boundaries. But your so called "friend" don't. What kind of person dares to even try and nosy themselves into someone's marriage? Do they not have their own lives to worry about? Sounds sort of pathetic to me.

I just want one guy, just one guy, just one male to answer honestly.

What are the tell tell signs that this dude is feeling me more than just a friend?

I dont need my marriage to be question.  I dont need my love for my husband to be questioned.  I dont need my loyality to my union to be questioned.

I just need to know:

How can i tell if this dude is feeling me more than just a friend?

Exactly,  He is acting so much more differently than any of my other male friends.  If i go to my male friends with a male related question, they answer it and leave it there.

he on the other hand goes off on some other shit.

Sometimes i wonder if he likes me, other times i wonder if he is a down-low brotha, still other x's i dont know what to think of him.

I came so really close to saying that to him last night.  But i did not want to jump the gun.  I think i will wait until Saturday night after a few drinks after we leave the party we are attending and ask him.  He tends to be more truthful when he is drinking.

Sis., i am a man and i know the way we think. Your friend wants to become an FWB(friends with benefits), the earlier you call him to order the better or except you want to oblige him when he eventually makes his move. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, IT'S A FREE WORLD

LOL! Yea, I corrected myself. Somehow I was thinking of Chris Brown.
Ugh, you men think alike. So a woman is now a sex figure?
A man and a female cannot share a sexless relationship?

Naah not a sex figure but i am telling you 9 out of 10 friendships between male and females are either relationships,failed or potential relationships if you look closely most female friends guys have are girls they where trying to date or fcuk took a wrong turn and ended up in the friendship zone

i really hope this is not the case with him and that our differences can be worked out.  He is a good friend and my neighbor so we see each other every single day. 

He babysits our children when hubby and i go out or when i go to work.

He is  a good friend.  But all that aside, what God has join let NO MAN put us under.  I will not allow him or anyone else to come in between my marriage.

He must be a nice man, but to babysits your children, he don't have job of his own?
