Ben and I were talking about one of the situations he was asked advice on by his friend.
Scenario:
There’s a girlfriend (GF), a boyfriend (BF) and a random guy (RG). The GF was approached by RG. RG gave GF his number. GF tells the BF “Oh, I’m flattered.”
* Time passes* Unknown as to how much time.
GF takes back flattered statement and says “That was sweet of him (RG) to put himself out there for me”
Problem:
Should BF be worried? Should BF say something to GF?
Background: Other things have happened which is causing him to worry as well.
Ben’s outlook: The fact that GF isn’t satisfied with BF and enjoys being flattered by RG(s) is not good. She isn’t ready for commitment, if that’s what BF is looking for. Honestly, what BF-GF relationship isn’t looking for sole-commitment?! Anyway.
Melanie’s outlook:
Flattered? No big deal. GF took the number, smiled at the guy, walked away, and threw the number away.
Oh wait!? She took back being flattered and said “HOW SWEET?!”
GF already programmed the number in her phone.
With my outlook and Ben’s outlook put together… BF needs to have a heart-to-heart with the GF.
Any feedback, girls?
Guys, what do you think?
