MEN's Portal / Power Of Positive Thinking for Men / Set socializing goals /
I am in a long relationship with my girlfriend and planning to marry her. Now we are around a woman who is a friend of both of us. Se tries to interfere with our relationship.
Her attitude has been different around me lately. Usually when she wasn't flirting she would talk to me like she talks to one of her female friends, and now she's either constantly teasing me or flirting with me. When I try to talk about my girlfriend, she doesn't want to talk about it. I don't have a social life and I'm always with my girlfriend.
If you think that this girl is good and reliable then she should take care of. True friends will ensure that you not only enjoy yourself but will also make sure that you continue your romantic life as you like it.
It is a bit difficult to determine whether this female friend has any romantic feelings towards you. If you want to make sure not to send out the wrong impression to her then you might want to keep the flirtation level to a minimum, if at all.
You can still joke around with her and if you see that something is developing, you can back off slightly or just change the topic. If you desire nothing but friendship with the opposite sex, then it is a matter of you being watchful of her behavior and responding accordingly in order to keep that buffer zone in place.
You should have control of your own feelings as well as being aware of theirs. Play it by ear and you should be fine.
Bottom line: Your existing relationship with your girlfriend can be improved. To the extent that you have no social life. It is good that you spend so much time together as a couple but time should also be made available for you to spend with your friends and family.
Life is about balance and to be dependent on just one thing or person can have negative consequences later on down the track. I'm sure that whatever happens you will make the right decision.
