My take Threaddy: some women just do stuff b/c they CAN. She doesn't necessarily wanna go there w/ you, but she's vain enough to see if she CAN.
Then again if she figured you could be interested I don't know why she'd bother unless she was also interested, but the girlfriend made it "out of reach" so maybe that was her safety net... it's safe to flirt w/ a guy when you know nothing will ever come of it. Flirting is fun, people get bored. Yup, we can be downright annoying sometimes Whatever you do, DON'T get on a plane to help her move & miss the meeting (just ignore that if you've yet to see "I Think I Love My Wife")...

ThreadBare said: So, I have this female friend who for the past year has done her best to stay on my radar.
Usually she was her most vocal when I was dating someone else. And, recently a mutual friend of ours started teasing us about each other. I was like, "Dude, stay out of my business. We're friends." #1) I'm straight-up with other women, if I'm seeing somebody. I don't like drama, and I certainly don't want folks think I'm the two-timing type. Because, I'm not. #2) That said, I hate confusion. So, I thought it worth clearing the air with my friend. And, since I don't believe in holding "disloyal/shady" conversations when I'm seeing someone, I waited until being on the outs with my g/f to clear the air with the friend. She, of course, owned up to paying me a bunch of compliments and such and to thinking there might be some interest on my part. But said that she would prefer we remain friends. Which is cool with me; I really just wanted to clear the air (and, that's not a male ego wailing -- it's the truth). But, my question is: Why do women work so hard to get on a dude's radar and then bail, when you call them on it? I chalk it up to immaturity, but I'd appreciate some more perspective. Preferrably from you women-folk... . [Edited 3/31/07 16:28pm] Insecurity and attention seeking behavior. | |

She calls him to have him talk about girls, school, life....She ain't calling REALLY for her son (although he did have an impact on her son) he has told me she has asked for a reunion. It's a self esteem thing. You ask for what you want unless you aren't confident enough to handle a no. In my case, she calls just to have an excuse to speak with him. To me, it cries out weak individual. I was there once, in my 20's. I guess she still hasn't grown into that. | |

Yup, we can be downright annoying sometimes Whatever you do, DON'T get on a plane to help her move & miss the meeting (just ignore that if you've yet to see "I Think I Love My Wife")... (body part = lips) hey i saw the movie!!! and the main reason why i liked the movie was because, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS...i don't get how these grown women acting like little girls can get men who already have someone (whether its a wife or a girlfriend) to do what they want...pay their bills, help them move, yadda yadda yadda..... and these men fall for it so easily anyway back to the subject at hand, She doesn't necessarily wanna go there w/ you, but she's vain enough to see if she CAN. if there's nothing else you don't know about women, know that if you have somebody they want to test you to see if you will actually do what they want you to do (whether its sleeping with them, going out with them, just hanging out with them as you said your friend was trying to do, or paying for outrageous items) it's all about manipulation my friend. They usually convince the poor guy that the woman they already have is boring or not "exciting" enough for them. This gets the weak fella thinking and then they are sold hook line and sinker to this conniving woman (or what she really is, which is a little girl who doesn't like something major about herself). it sounds like you didn't fall for her nonsense (at least from what you said, because you didn't say that you took her up on her offers to hang out) which is applaudable but unfortunately most men are as strong as you. P.S. And you are right, so some women, men who aren't available are more attractive to them than those who are single. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |
