Has someone ever mistaken you for being a friend's boyfriend or girlfriend?

[Logorithim]

And asked you if it's OK to talk to your friend once you informed them you're just their friend.

[311WasAnInsideJam]

All the time. It's not too annoying to me because it's always when I'm hanging out with my guy friends, and I do act in very "girlfriendy" ways with them, such as walking arm-in-arm, or sometimes holding hands.

These, of course, aren't universally viewed as signs of romantic interest; in a lot of countries they're simply signs of friendship. Ever seen Talladega Nights?

Either way, my friends know that I'm physically affectionate and understand that I'm not somehow "going straight" for them, so if anyone else thinks otherwise I don't care. The only people actually involved know what's up and that's all that matters.

[StingRayxoxo]

Yes at a bar once and in high school.

[StingRayxoxo]

Thanks for MHO

[Tomsta]

Yes actually. Was at a clothes shop with my friend. Just engaged in some light banter and the person in thier mid 40s behind us just said "ahh young love" we both corrected her almost at the same time. Nicely ofc

[ShadezMcgee]

.. yeah. People have thought I was my sister's boyfriend since we don't look alike.

[jennifer_bloom]

I think one time I was hanging out with a guy and everybody asked me if he was my boyfriend and I said "I don't think so."

[DizzyDesii]

On rabbit my friend guys often hang in the room with me more than whoever im actually talkin to at the time... so by time the guy hangs with me, random people come in the room and say “wheres your guy?” And he's like “im right here” and theyre like, “no the other guy” 😂 its sad. Part of why the guys always make me leave “social media”

[cjennaa]

All the time. I have a very giggly personality and get along much better with guys so I'm usually mistaken for flirting with my friends and people always think I'm either dating them or just screwing them.

Neither of which has ever been the case. If there is any chance of being more than friends with a dude, it would be exclusive.

[Isten]

Yes, I've been mistaken for a firend's girlfriend once (maybe twice if we count another story 🤔). I find it funny because the girl who mistook my friend as my boyfriend has actually met my boyfriend beforehand.
She didn't care about my friend, so after the misconception she moved on.

[Poppymarie]

One of my friends thought that an old friend of mine was my ex when we ran into him at a dance. I don’t know why though 😂

[Motivation_Girl]

Yup all the time 😂😂 it’s funny because we play along with it. We’re both silly people

[Skyler_]

Yes, there were rumours about me dating 2 guys. One of them made it a big deal cuz he’s a scaredy-cat while one didn’t care cuz he knew that we’re just friends

[tonicandgin]

yeah, many times. for some reason, majority of my friends are attractive males

[blondfrog]

My oldest brothers wife. I was at a whole foods once and shopping with my brother's wife. The cashier thought she was my girlfriend or wife lol.

[guy222]

Haha, not a friend, but a really creepy guy who was interested in my sister and who obviously didn't know I was her brother asked me if I was her boyfriend.

[ChiTown33]

Yeah, and it irritated me to because she used my presence to work the other guy.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I can't remember, but I'm sure they have
It sounds like something that would happened to me

[Dapoodapooda]

Yeah it happens occasionally when I'm with one of my guy friends. I'm not sure why people tend to think we're a couple

[PrincessGrail]

This has happened to me.

[pizzalovershouse]

no but I had some 1 once think my relatives were my family I had through marriage

[βιυεsκγs]

Nope, but once someone thought my dad was my boyfriend 😂

[Aizou]

Once with a friend, and once with a stranger. It was equally awkward and funny both times. The second part of your question didn't happen, though.

[Dark93]

I dont recall ever being mistaken for someone's boyfriend.

[_yagurrll]

I’m pretty sure that has happened to someone at one point

[spartan55]

I don't know how you come up with these questions. It's impressive.

[Lance1965]

Happens all the time when most of your friends are female.

[Xoy-Chowdhury]

Yes I ll informed them... nicely bt talking for some times to fun is not a crime to me.

[Gothicwolffox]

A couple of times lol 😂😂😂. 😇😅😋

[sasukeuchiha7]

Nope, never happened.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

Nobody has mistaken me.

[ivanhunterjo]

When me and a female friend were in town

[TheIronCranston]

Never, Cause I'm ugly and Lonely As fuck.

[AnimeThot]

Yeah

[ChiPaPa]

No...

[Sofie1979]

They were drunk.

[Anonymous]

Uh, no.
