The Singles Scene

by Sarah Smart

Q.   If your best friend is flattered by the flirtatious remarks of your boyfriend to the point of returning the flirtation in your presence, what would you do? Would you check the guy or the girl or both?

A.   There are usually two types of women who respond favorably to the flirtation of a “taken” man in the presence of his girlfriend.  One who seldom gets attention and one who never gets enough.  But the guy who would flirt openly with another woman is not worth the time it would take to make note of his indiscretion. I would leave them to enjoy each other.  If you’re still with him, your brain should be checked.

Q.  I’ve seen my girlfriend out twice with the same guy and each time I avoided being seen.  I don’t want to confront her because she has already mentioned her disdain for jealous men.  She is never at home anymore and has an excuse for not returning my calls.  What should I do?  I can’t sleep at night wondering who she’s with.

A.    If you are losing sleep over this, then you must solve the mystery.  Ask, don’t confront.  And if the answer is not suitable, then come to grips with what to do to attain inner peace.  He could be a close friend or relative.  Don’t assume until there’s a reason and don’t be intimidated by her “disdain.”  Remember, your feelings are more important, and your suspicions could be true.   Investigate don’t vegetate.
