Cheating... or harmless flirting?

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Okay, so I have a boyfriend and he's AMAZING when he's not around this girl in my grade who's rather flirty. She won't leave him alone and always flirts but if I go anywhere near my boyfriend, she casually "walks away" but when it's just me and him, he's totally fine and sweet. What's going on?
 
Uh-oh, chica. Sounds like this girl is starting to encroach on your man.  As for right now, she's definitely towing the line between "okay" and "not cool."
Is your boyfriend actually doing anything wrong? Or is it all this girl's doing? Is it harmless flirting? Or is it serious macking on your man flirting? There are a lot of little factors that are just as important in finding out what's going down here.

Either way, you're going to need to have a face-to-face chat with somebody. If you're boyfriend is an active participant in all of the flirtatiousness, then he needs to own up to it. Let him know that it makes you uncomfortable. If he's a good BF worth keeping around and there's really nothing suspicious happening behind your back, then he'll understand without making a fuss.

On the other hand, if he's not the real problem, and instead it's simply this chick getting involved where she doesn't belong, then you've gotta' go right to the source. Pull her aside next time you see her and let her know that you have no problem with her being friends with your boy, but you'd really appreciate it if she'd step back a bit with the flirting.

MOD!!MOD!!MOD!!
im getting really tired of girl drama and guys seem more chill. how do i become one of the guys without seeming like imm flriting thx
p.s. what should i wear to help me become one of the guys?




Hey girlie,

You gotta wear things (and act in ways) that feel natural to you! Dressing down and wearing boys clothes isn't gonna make it easier to become "one of the guys." It's all about your attitude! Just try getting to know the guys as friends, instead of as a crush with flirting involved. Bond over common interests, like football and video games. And read this article - it'll help! Smile

Hey Taffy18, just try to think of times or places you could see him throughout the day. Think of who he is friends with, any clubs he's apart of, and where his classes would be. Get your friends to help too. Make sure they let you know if they see him. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Okay [i will try to keep this as short as possible], so this girl (let's call her M) so ever since I started cyber school last month EVERYONE has either texted me or sent me an IM saying that "M" is flirting and clinging to my boyfriend. I confronted "M" and said politely what I heard and that she had to knock it off. Well it was ok then it started up again. This time my boyfriend told me she is like stalking him in the halls, like hugging him, and he purposely avoids her but she is always by his side. Every time I say something to her she laughs and just brushes it of her shoulders. I don't like this at all and I know my boyfriend doesn't either. Aperantly "M" has done this to other guys too. I'm worried she will try to kiss him or something because she is clinging so much. What should I do!?!?




Hey girl,

Do you trust your BF? Trust is a major "must" in any relationship. If you trust him and firmly believe he cares about YOU and would never do anything with another girl, you're good. It might be good to chat with him about this, share your concerns, and ask him straight out - "This sounds so silly, but you'll be loyal to me, right? Like you won't be tempted by another girl? I trust you but I just wanna make sure we're on the same page - we're together." I know it does kinda sound silly, but it'll ease your mind and will help you relax. If you trust your BF, "M" can do whatever she wants to flirt...but she won't be a problem because she won't convince him to cheat!! <3

MOD MOD MOD!1 HI! So, this guy who seriously likes me and hes the grade above me. Well, he changed since the last time I saw him in December. And he isn't the same. Any advice? Thanks! coldplay12




Hey girlie,

Well, it depends. If he changed in a bad way and you wouldn't consider liking him/dating him, be very clear that you want to be friends - and just friends. If he changed and you're not sure if you like it, give him a chance. Get to know the "new" him and see what you think. It's ok for you to change your mind - but he's also allowed to grow up and change too!

O no honey, it seems as if your guy either really likes this girl more that you and wants to be just friends with you or hes getting wrapped around her little finger. Dont let her get any closer to you man if you really care about your relationship you need to have a little talk with that girl or a little talk with your man. If the girls doesn't listien that shes just stubberen or shes serously jeaulos. If you talk to your man and he doesn't listin that you need to leave him for good. If he doesn't listien to his own girlfriend than he has a serouse problem and doesn't care about your guys relationship
