Author Negan Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Guilty, no. But it does sound like a bit of game playing going on. I understand from your perspective this may give you a bit of an ego boost to make you feel like you are getting one over on her with her friend, but I am wondering what this friend's agenda is? Regardless of what happened, hooking up with you straight afterwards makes me question her character as well. She would know this will get back to her at some point and cause problems among their friends, which would suggest she either has an axe to grind or she loves causing drama herself. Personally I would try and avoid getting involved in messy situations like this. Although I didn't word it properly, I tend to agree. I am not saying this to be arrogant, but I do get hit on a lot. I thought about her having an axe to grind, but I am also thinking maybe she felt bad? All's fair in love and war? Maybe I should ask her. Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlett.O'hara Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 To be honest, my first instinct was to think highly of her for doing the right thing and telling you what was going on, but now I'm not so sure she did it for the right reasons. I have a strong suspicion that she plays just as dirty as her friend does. I wouldn't want to get caught up in it, but you're a grown man, so I'm sure you know what you're doing. If you have plenty of other offers though, you might be better off exploring them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
jay1983 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 So the bridesmaid who originally tipped me off about what was going on has contacted me on Facebook. We have been talking, texting, and even been out a few times. Should I feel guilty? Hell yeah, that's why told you to look for her. In this case she found. Maybe she does have an axe to grind. I think it's great. Link to post Share on other sites

I will gauge her words and take it from there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds good on paper that she warned you, but the bigger picture makes us wonder WHY she warned you and then wanted to hit you up. Im sensing some type of scheme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Negan Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 Well, I think she warned me because what her friend was doing was pretty messed up and I think she wanted to let me know. That is how I see it anyway. There are a lot of what if's about her not warning me. What if this girl I went to the wedding with came back to the room had I not left after sleeping and messing around with the other guy. I would of had no idea. What if I slept with her that same night? Health concerns, and other things. Waking up the next morning and her doing the walk of of shame unbeknownst to me while I look the fool. I think she had good intentions warning me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
ZoeGirl Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Definitely beyond a red flag. That is unacceptable behavior and how can you possibly see how it could get any better? Sorry - time to move on. Link to post Share on other sites

usa1ah Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Negan I can not think why the girl that informed you has come under fire. Sorry I just have a hard time beating someone down after they have done a good turn. If she was attracted to you at the time does it make her actions any less sincere.

Sorry I just have a hard time beating someone down after they have done a good turn. If she was attracted to you at the time does it make her actions any less sincere. I also thought she did him a good turn, but the rest of her actions sound like shady friendship behavior. I see the potential for him to get caught up in some messy frenemy drama. Some people get off on that type of drama, others are repelled by it. He can make up his mind if it is worth the risk. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Negan Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Happy New Year everyone. Sorry I couldn't update sooner. I decided not to pursue things with this woman. My gut told me her intentions were not genuine. Hopefully this year will be better for me on the dating front. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Space Ritual Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Clean Slate is always good. Based on the totality of the situation, Negan you handled this about as well as anyone could have. you'll have quite the story to tell..... Hopefully you had at least one chance to pass the Cartilage Baton to the Bridesmaid that told you... 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra_X Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 A little background on the situation: I met a woman on a flight back home from one of my military reserve weekends. We have been dating for about two months. We live about 45 mins from each other. We get along, she compliments me, and we talk all the time. We have yet to be intimate because she as a 15 date rule, which I respect. You failed right up front. It doesn't matter if she gives you a 15 or a 3 date rule... you need to push her as hard as you can as fast as you can. The reason you do this is because it shows you both her true character and makes her more attracted to you. By failing to push her phony boundaries she determined you were a chump and a loser. When a woman tells you that you have to wait a set period of time... it's a guarantee that other men didn't wait at all. Link to post Share on other sites
