How do I handle women who like me when I have a girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

So I always had a hard time with women. But recently, I met this woman who’s really attractive and flirty to me. And I can’t stop thinking of her. I tried my hardest not to pay attention to her, but it’s hard. I feel guilty because I love my girlfriend more than anyone. What do I do about her because I’m gonna have to see her.

Ah man, that's a tough situation. The most important thing is staying loyal to your girl, she doesn't deserve to get hurt over this. A few things I would do:

- Be really clear and direct with this other girl that you're taken and don't want anything happening. Don't leave any room for confusion.

- Limit alone time with her as much as possible. Stick closer to other people when you do have to interact.

- If she keeps being flirty or inappropriate, you may need to be more stern. Tell her straight up her behavior isn't cool since you're in a relationship.

- Spend extra time with your girlfriend doing fun stuff together so you don't dwell on this other girl as much. Focus on why you care about your girl.

- Let your friends/people you trust know what's going on so they can help keep you accountable too if needed.

- Remove this girl on social media if you have to so there's less chance of something small making you think of her.

- Last resort, talk to authorities if she keeps crossing lines after you've told her to stop repeatedly. Not worth the risk to your relationship.

Stay strong man! It's normal to still notice other attractive girls sometimes when you're taken. But be smart about setting boundaries so nothing ever happens. Your girl deserves that loyalty. You've got this!

Bullshit, you don't love your girlfriend enough. Leave her if you planning to sleep with that new girl. Don't cheat.

I don’t plan on it. And it won’t happen. I just feel bad that I get happy to see that new girl.

Boy bye. Leave your girlfriend if you are happy to meet someone else.

No, I plan to marry my girlfriend someday. She’s all I ever wanted. I’m not leaving her!

Hope that works out for y'all. The fact you asked what to do with the new girl that you like to see is so so alarming asf. Good luck.

You don't let people flirt when you are in a relationship. That is cheating
