Why is she being so sensitive?

The girl that I’m dealing with has a small dog and as we was playing I plucked her dog on the nose playfully. She got upset and told me that she didn’t like that. I told her it’s just the dog nose and it’s not that deep. But she told me to leave and to talk to her later. What did I do wrong. Why is she being so sensitive?

Ah man, girls can be sensitive about their dogs sometimes, you're right.

But I can see why she got upset too. Even if you were just playing, she sees her pup as like her baby, you know? Probably doesn't wanna think of anyone even playfully hurting it.

And she might think you didn't respect her boundary when she said not to do that. Girls wanna feel heard sometimes. Even if you think it's no big deal, it clearly mattered to her.

My advice - just give her some space for now. Later, apologize for upsetting her without getting defensive. Say you didn't mean to worry her or anything, you were just trying to play. Ask how you can make sure the pup stays happy around you next time.

Acknowledging how she feels goes a long way, even if you think it's extra. Show you care about her feelings as much as the dog's. She'll come around, just gotta smooth it over first. You'll be alright bud!

She sees that dog as her child. Especially a small one. Is she being sensitive.. kinda.. but if she reacted like that.. she doesn't care if you stick around. She's got options. The dog lol. The dog is more important than you. That's why she told you to leave. I'd move on brother because of it's something that small right now and you're not even serious. I can't imagine what other small things you'll do to make her react even worse. Too much work bro.

Girls are sensitive like that, especially when it comes to animals.
