My question is regarding flirting when you're both single and in the beginning stages of dating.
I'm single but casually dating a man.
However, there is this other man (he knows that I am casually dating) but we are friendly with one another (we both go to the same college) and we flirt with each other on occasion (much more so from his side).
Well, the other day he sort of flirted with another woman in front of me and I became jealous.
I guess my question is - is it normal from me to feel jealous? I've never expressed an interest really in dating this second man (nor has he asked me out, it's just always been friendly banter with a little flirting mixed in).
Thanks.
When he flirted with you, you didn’t respond in a way that would move the relationship forward.
So he’s looking elsewhere. What’s so hard to understand about that?
Wish him well ... or make an effort to let him know you are interested.
He definitely seems to want to date someone.
@PUNKEY,
So, him flirting with another woman in front of me is not something that I can be upset with HIM over per se, but just that it upset me in general?
I was a bit peeved and kind of gave him the cold shoulder afterwards.
Do you think that was an overreaction on my part?
@KellyG3098,
If you were just a friend you would be happy for him that he is interested in someone and having a fun time.
Instead, your feelings have all the earmarks of jealousy.
@KellyG3098,
sounds to me like you do actually have some feelings going on.
you didn't show any interest the first time so he's simply moved on to someone else.
