Ladies of GAG would you be upset if a man you rejected started dating your best friend?

I came across this recently and it makes me wonder if there are actually women that think like this. It sounds like "if I don't want him no one should" kinds of backward thinking.

If the guy is not trashy and she has no concerns about her friend dating him for those reasons, then she has no right to demand she be asked before they date. They don't owe her anything. She sounds bitter and like a sore loser. She might also be a toxic friend.

It also sounds like she might be the kind of person who, when she thinks she's found someone "better" to date, will feel like she's "won" and then it'll stop mattering to her.

Agreed

[TrueConfection]

That's odd. My friend started dating a guy I rejected. I didn't care that she dated him, but eventually she didn't want me around when he was with her.

Its very common for a guy to ask out the entire friend group when one rejects him. I admit some of us do the same where if a guy we’re not into asks us out, we still hope to get closer to his cuter friend. Now what I dont like is when you date someone, breakup and then they go for your friend

[LazerBean]

It just depends on if I rejected him because he was trash or if he was good but we just weren't quite right for eachother. If he was trash, then yeah it's kinda insulting to my friends intelligence to date him. Otherwise it'a great.

[worldscolide]

I get that. In the story though he is a good guy, just not her type. She's pissed that her friend likes him.. Seems like she only friend zoned him to keep him as a backup plan.

[worldscolide]

For example I would hate for my ex to date any of my friends.. But it's not because I still like her. It's because in the two years we were together, she was violent in the extreme, and abusive in other ways and would not want my friends to suffer that.

A little, if it was right away, it'd mean she'd be like 'second choice, plan B' and she deserves better than that

[worldscolide]

How so, you obviously didn't want him, they are both adults, I don't see a plan b here.. What I do see is a woman who friend zoned a guy with the intent of keeping him as a backup plan. It's an idiotic way to be. He is free to date who ever he wants as is her friend.

[Ms_Facesitter]

People I see as friends, stay friends. I see no back up in them at all. And yes I agree, he's free to do whatever. I just find it weird IF he'd go to her right away as a backup, I don't think she should be treated as a back up.

[worldscolide]

She want a backup, if you read the story, they met at a party. He didn't have any association with her prior to that.

I'm just speaking out of my own experience, just based on the question title itself.
