I wont get into the details here.  I've noticed a couple guys flirting with her but she doesn't realize it.  i dont know how she doesnt, but i know she isnt purposefully doing it.

we had a discussion about it a couple of weeks ago and things were great.  But now something else seems to have come up.  i was a little po'd earlier, but i'm ok now.  i think we're gonna have a talk later tonight.  

biggest problem now is i think she lied to me about something.  It wasnt anything major, but it makes me question a lot of what she said before.  

this isnt a kick-her-to-the-curb senario so i'd really appreciate not having that response from any smart-asses on the board.  i'm not in the mood.

i dont want to piss her off but i want to make a BIG point that this sh*t aint gonna keep happening otherwise I can't trust her and it wont work.

Other than this thing she's been absolutely amazing and is by far the nicest girl i've dated.  We're both pretty head over heals for each other, so i really dont think she meant anything.  

i think the biggest problem is after my last relationship i've been over-analyzing a lot of stuff because the previous one got WAAAY f'd up (b/c she's basically psycho).  there was a lot of stress in that one, and i just really really really want to avoid that stuff in this one.

We've been dating for 3 days shy of 6 months, and i want to make it last.  any tips and advice are greatly appreciated.

Just say it. Don't beat around the bush, and don't treat her like a kid. Say what you goota say, be honest and look her in the eye. It's all any man can do.

There's a difference between flirting and humping.  I've been married a while and when my wife and I go to parties, we are often being flirted with.  It's important to know the difference between flirting and propositioning.

If she's a looker, there will ALWAYS be somebody working on her.

So you either trust her or you don't.

If you don't, there are two possibilities:

1. You're the jealous asshole type.

2. Your instincts are correct.

In your heart-of-hearts, you know which is correct, and what you should do. Just don't talk yourself out of what's right.

I'll let you in on a little secret that I used when I was single to determine if I could trust my girlfriend.  Watch her eyes.  In a public place, if her eyes follow men (as in plural) as they walk past you both, get rid of her.  She WILL cheat on you.

The eyes are the window to the soul.

Jealousy will destroy everything you have. You have the answer right in front of you, all you lack is patience. Kick back listen & watch the senario & her reaction. The guys are following the flow of blood thing, you will never be free from it. These are her decisions, let her make them. True character is what you do when you think no one is watching. They flirted, she did not  pursue  the advancement, your golden man. If you think she might be the one for god sakes give her the freedom to be herself & the trust to do the right thing, because 20 years from now if your still together that's exactly how things are going to operate. The only thing you need to control is your self. Good luck bro

I really dont know why people make this stuff a big deal... You can't make anyone remain faithfull to you.  The person has to have enough respect for you to do it on their own.  If she continues down the path, then move on. There is no sense of making someone do something they are not willing to do.  Talk to her, explain you dont appreciate her delighting in other mens' attraction to her.

Whatever you do, do not hold off on letting the girl know.  Later on she'll accuse you of not being open with your feelings and that's just a new chapter of crap to deal with.  Be completely and totally honest with her at all times and trust that she would do the same with you, if not, then screw it, you might deserve better.

I trust my wife. Her best friend is a guy, and they hang out frequently. If she's headed out, she's headed out, and getting pissy isn't going to make a whit of difference.

If you can't trust someone in broad daylight, how are you gonna sleep next to them?

You can look, but you can't touch.  It's human instinct to look at something/someone we find attractive.  That doesn't mean we're going to cheat.  I look at people, my husband looks at people...Hell, I point girls out to him that I think he'd find attractive, and vice versa.  It boils down to trust and security.  We trust each other and are secure enough in ourselves and our relationship to not let trivial things like that bother us.

And I deffinitely agree on the trust issue!!

heh... yeah.  thats actually already happened.  her biggest fear (to quote her) is something along those lines because i wont tell her if somethings bothering me and it builds.  which, she is right about.  which is why i brought this to her attention earlier.  apparently its a 2 edged sword

First of I would try to chill a little. I know you have someone you love and would hate to loose her but being jealous there is a good chance that will happen. Take it from me I am a jealous ass and I am single on account of it.
Talking is a good thing because if you dont it will just eat you up and turn into a blow out. As SP1 girl said some people are just veing nice and are mistaken for being flirtacious even though they have no intentions of going somewhere else.

Good luck with however you handle it.

My friend Ed in grade school would stand on the girl's foot so she could not walk away while he was trying to woo her. That would be a pretty clear sign I think.

It's been said" you'll lose 'em the way you found 'em".


What's her history? Did you pick her up and her in one night ?

Have you known her for a long time ?

What do most of her true freinds act like ?


Worry more about these things than anything, History repeats itselfagain and again.

I agree with most of that, and while flirting may or may not be cheating it will almost certainly lead to it.  Speaking from experiance......

One thing that i have learned is say what you have to say and get it out of your system and off your chest.  Women are understanding with that kind of stuff or at least i am.  If my bf came up to me to ask a question of something that was bothering him i would take it seriously!  Just talk to her and get everything on the table it will be fine.

Is it just me or is roboman a born again asshole?  Lately it seems as if he's making a point to verbally degrade somebody in EVERY one of his posts.  I hadn't noticed this until recently.  Maybe he's always been an asshole and I've overlooked it...I don't know.  Either way, keep up the good work, I like it .

Ask her about the lie. Guage how honestly she answers.

If she doesn't fully put it to rest in your mind, keep watching teh honesty thing.

If the work is THIS much work now, what's it gonna be like in a few years?

I love my wife passionately, but its MUCH more work now than it was in the dating stage (she'd say the same)

Also had a friend in college whose early stages of the relationship were SOOO tense and uptight.

Eventually imploded.

Don't over analyze. But if that much analyzing is warrranted, be very afraid Forrest.
