Question #1: My girlfriend’s guy friend
My girlfriend has a male friend who had some interest in her before. She says they are friends and she has no interest in him more than a friend.

The thing is, she told me that when I would meet him, I might get angry because of the way he is around her. He will sit right up against her, put his arm around her, give her hugs the whole time. Some of her friends have said that when they are together, it seems that there is nobody else in the room.

She also goes to meet him for drinks and dinner and they sometimes hangout for over 5 hours. She says they have been friends for a long time and she in just not interested in him. Should I just trust her?

R Don Steele’s answer:
The best info I have ever seen, heard, read is by Chris Rock, Bring the Pain.

He says, “That guy is her emergency co*k. When you break up with her, she breaks the glass and takes out her emergency co*k.”

Point?

Men and women are not designed to be “friends”; they are designed to be sex partners by evolution.

As a male, it is possible to have a female friend you are not attracted to. It’s the same for women if the guy is fat or gay, or in some other way not even close to her dream man.

Otherwise “friends” is “friends with benefits”. So, no, you shouldn’t just trust her.

Question #2: Developing feelings
I met this girl on a dating site and we exchanged some email and phone calls. Although we had a lot in common and really enjoyed each other’s company, when she asked me if I want to take this relationship a bit further, I refused because, at the time, I was just not physically attracted to her.

She accepted it and we continued to hang out every now and then. The thing is, though, I have since developed romantic feelings for her but I just don’t know how to tell her.

Please advise.

R Don Steele’s answer:
You say, “Debbie, I have developed romantic feelings for you” and smile… “let’s go on a real date”. Now smile and wait. Have a plan A and a plan B. The Steel Balls Principle is be real!

    RDS hits the nail on the head once again!! The woman in question is hedging her bets.

    The bald truth is that for all the whining and crying women do about guys who date multiple women, they do the exact same thing! I’ve caught plenty of women who do this and will lie through their teeth about it, even when caught! The whining is only an attempt to get men to put all their swimmers in one egg basket. That greatly reduces a guy’s negotiating power in the relationship & gives the woman a big edge. From that point onward, she can use nookie as a weapon in her arsenal.

    Very accurate from what I have observed during years of working with people.
