Why would a girl say ‘just friends’ but act like a jealous girlfriend?

[georgeboy2006]

​My neighbor and I are just friends
we hangout, chat, and watch movies together. I don't have feelings for her, and she’s literally the one who said we should just be friends!

​But anytime she sees me with another girl, she gets super jealous, confronts me, and tells me to stop making female friends or following other girls. When I ask if she’s jealous, she stays silent lol! 😂😂

​Why won't she just confess her feelings? Women are so confusing!

She does sound confused. And it seems like she might be afraid of loosing your friendship with her when you have a girlfreind

Bro she's not afraid of that lol 😆

It’s protective. They are, but guys have taught them to not be clingy…

It is a clear signal she might want to bump uglies in the future, obviously.

My aim on GAG is to decode confusing relationship behavior… and your neighbor is a walking red flag cocktail, my guy 😏

She said “just friends” to protect herself or keep control, but her behavior screams emotional girlfriend. That jealousy is basically soft lovebombing without the commitment.

She enjoys the attention and exclusivity, without risking rejection. She won’t confess because then you could say no… and her ego would take the hit, not yours.

So you are available if she changes her mind
