it is good to deflate that ego sometimes. Having an ego is not something one should be proud of. He should know that if he isn't treating his girl right, there are many others willing to do it. wink

Lolz

It's good and sometimes not nice.

Pardon me...

I like something about you I can't lay hands on...

I guess your comments are just an epitome of you...

I truly like you...



When I lay hands on it... I'll comment and perhaps a PM will do...

I've told mine about one or two in the past, but they were either really notable, or he was in the vicinity and/or asked. He's told me too, and I even watched him get cornered once lol (waitress at brunch)...but then again we do talk a lot, and tell each other almost everything. I don't think it's a good habit to form tho. It's not positive, and it seems tedious and counterproductive.

If ever she does, don't get all jealous tongue




How did you cope? I would eyeball any guy who even thinks of flirting with my gf while I'm present.

A couple of weeks back, her 'friend' (despite knowing that she's in a relationship with me) tried come out of the friendzone by texting/calling her nonstop, asking her to go to the movies with him and etc. I wanted to remind him why he was in the friendzone in the first place. She thought my reaction was cute though she didn't trust me to be civil with the guy so she took care of it.

On the contrary, I was wishing I had audio lol He'd gotten up to go take care of something, and at some point I looked up and saw what was going on. I decided I liked the way he handled it and the difference in body language. I can't base my reaction on outside people. I mercilessly teased him about it when he got back tongue

Well, I'm glad that was taken care of smiley I'm kinda dealing with something somewhat similar but totally different in that he's suddenly taken issue with someone who's always been around. It's not liked I've been pursued by the person, and I've known him since I was 5 so I'm trying to get to the bottom of it..

You mean you guys actually want your gf to tell you about every guy that hits on her, flirts with her, and etc.

That is just super weird.

Not really.

Cheeky waitress grin kudos to you though. Your username truly compliments your attitude and akhlaq in general. A lot of women would have reacted in a different way.

That's a difficult situation you're in. Try to not to show any bias, either of them could be in the wrong is all I can say.

That's very nice of you to say walal, but everyone is different. At the time I signed up, I was deep into Yoga and reading a whole bunch of philosophical works...and I suspect that's where the name came from. I still have these interests, but I'm no more enlightened than the next person lol. But thanks really, I think you're a decent person too, Artan! smiley

You're right. I'll try not to show any bias loll.

Telling doesn't build trust. It mostly destroys it. What is the point in rubbing it in your man's face that he's got competition? Men have big egos, they want to be known as sole proprietors. Why deflate the ego?

Not wise, if you ask me.

It depends on the boyfriend you have, if in love with my best friend why not? Could remember those days in school, we were very broke and needed to attend a party since there was no cash he posed as my elder bro and some guy like that payed for everything we ate including our transport fare.









Everything get limit though.

Strangely....women are so smart these days.They tell the guys what they want to hear and vice versa....most times the deed has already being done.....chop clean mouth.They tell the guy...he is asking me out.Omo...watch out.There are sincere ones anyway.Coming to think of it...when u tell what is the guarantee it won't be used against you tomorrow.Just thinking cheesy
Re: Should A Girl Tell Her Boyfriend About Other Guys Hitting On Her? by chronique(m): 1:11pm On Nov 22, 2014
It depends on her. If she's comfortable with letting me know,fine. If she aint,no problem. My own is: "DON'T CHEAT ON ME".

Most times I don't care who those callers and chatters are....the more I don't care the safer and happier and free I get. No reason to due young abeg.

The annoying thing tho is how she seem to always enjoy the flirting and attention angry angry

Every relationship that has the prospect of blossoming into something tangible strives to have its foundation built on trust, love and understanding!

In this regard, would you, as a guy, want your lady to tell you about the guys hitting on her on daily bases so as to gain your trust?
Would you trust her more if she does this?

As a girl/lady do you tell your boyfriend about the guys that hit on you?
its not necessary... i wld feel uncomfortable if She tells me
Re: Should A Girl Tell Her Boyfriend About Other Guys Hitting On Her? by Nobody: 1:20pm On Nov 22, 2014
I can tell him everything I want to but I don't see why I should tell him about each guy that tried to make advances. They are not important and telling him would change nothing.

Rival:


Sorry if I have to disagree with you, but the difference is where and how you choose to tell him!

In my opinion telling your man does not deflate his ego, rather it inflates it because he would think that he has in his possession what others want but can't get!

It makes him feel that you want him to be with you because he has some qualities you saw that the others do not have.

He'd feel that you're indirectly telling him that he's important to you and you want him to have complete trust in you; he'd feel that you're indirectly telling him that you'd not cheat on him and that he's everything you desire in a man.

Anyway, it's your opinion and I respect it!

I totally agree with you...mine goes even to the extent of saying who she has crush on...that even helps to make her behave rather than harbour it in secrecy until it leads to some other things. I also open up to her. With this, we caution ourselves when the other might be getting close to this other person unknowingly. Guess what? I trust her so much and can't wait to marry her!

I don't get why I would be bothered to talk about something as inconsequential as that, unless of course we're fishing for conversation.

Any girl madly in love does that without being asked.

It is necessary..

Very true. But it can be annoying at times I must confess. She should know how to say it sha not to try to threaten u

That's usually the reason. Nothing more to talk about
