Girls don't trust the other women and see them as rivals.
I wouldn't do this now, but when I was 20, my new girlfriend insisted that I get rid of all my female friends (and she had other guys interested in her, so I knew it was her way or the highway on this topic). She wanted my attention fully focused in her.
Because when you’re in a relationship you’re gonna be focused on your girlfriend/boyfriend.
I know I’m just as guilty as the next guy who kinda of pays more attention to their girlfriend and doesn’t talk to their female friends as much but I still try to communicate with them.
However, it goes both ways but it happens when you’re in a relationship, your focus shifts and you’re trying to balance both your relationship and your friendships but no one is perfect at that.
This doesn't work if you have business partners, you just have no choice to deal with them on a daily basis.
Yeah true
Yeah some people do that both guys and gurls and usally it’s not just ignoring the opposite gender friend they usually ignore all their friends once they get in a relationship which is really stupid and dumb. If you break up with your bf/gf what are you gonna do if you pushed all your friends away. You’ll be hurt twice as much. And for people saying their girlfriend gets jealous of you talking to the opposite gender just as friends and has no proof that you’re cheating then why would you wanna date someone who’s jealous/insecure? That’s not a healthy relationship you’re supposed to be in one to be happy not argue all the time and stuff. If I had a boyfriend I would trust him to do whatever and I won’t be jealous or insecure, if he wants to cheat go ahed don’t let the door hit u on the way out.
Because they were looking for a girlfriend and now they have one, so the potential for relationships with other girls isn't so necessary. Focus shifts away from romantic potential. There's also girlfriend time that has to be accounted for and the limited amount of time left over for friends needs to go to people they really like.
Out of necessity, many friendships guys form with girls is rooted in finding a romantic relationship. So when a romantic relationship is found the effort that goes into other relationships in his life goes down. It's not like they weren't or aren't interested in you but there's not much of a reason to continue to invest in other girls so much.
Because the guy was only your friend in hopes of fking you. It was a fake friendship. Welcome to the life of a guy.
Now that he has one.. he no longer has you to deny him and constantly make him depressed
Some cases this maybe true. Actually most cases this is true
A guy can be sexually and/or romantically attracted to a female friend and also value her friendship. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Yes, it can develop into a complicated situation if one or both people in the friendship are not able to be honest about their feelings or they are not “available”. But to suggest that sex is the ONLY goal of man who befriends a woman is generally false.
Oh God thank God someone posted a rational answer to this question... I find it silly that some people believe guys make "friends" with girls =P
Your best bet is to have a chat with each of them.
Asking us to speculate is not the same as actually finding out from the source.
Have a friendly, non-threatening approach such as sharing a coffee break or lunch. Give it a shot, who knows, you might re-establish the contact!
I think the guys here don´t get that not all girlfriends are bitches who always have the urge to control their boyfriend and cut everyone else out their lives to get their full attention. Secondly, their gf´s are not around them 24/7, and the guys are still ignoring their female friends. This is what I´m experiencing with my longest guy friend right now since he got a girlfriend and it´s really upsetting.
some women think men want to sleep with every woman they know... i would put my money on that being the reason... there are some other possibilities though... could be he has less time, or that he is interested in you (and wants to behave)... that last option i have only really seen happen a handful of times (very unlikely)...
There could be many reasons:
1. He has a girl friend or married and doesn't want to jeopardize that relationship. Women can be very insecure about other girls liking their guys.
2. He may feel that being nice to you may send the wrong message, like he does like you but is unsure etc
3. He doesn't want attention from you. He maybe embarrassed by the attention because he maybe being teased by his colleagues/friends etc.
probably so as to not make their girlfriend insecure or they might just want that girl's company more than others. it could be the girlfriend telling him not to if not either of the first two that are willing while being told not to by her, no shit, would not be entirely
I believe that if a couple is dating there should be a certain level of trust between that couple. Both party's should be responsible enough to have friends of the opposite sex. After all what are you going to do when your married? Eventually you will be in contact with the opposite sex and you may not be able to just ignore them. Especially if its on a job site.
Usually it is for the insecure girlfriend. Whilo gets jealous of any female friend.
My girlfriend is secure enough that she trusts me cause we met in the same hugging church group. So she is secure seeing me talk and hug other girls while most women are very insecure and jealous.
It is kind of the respectful thing to do, really.
Especially if their attitude towards you wasn't 100% platonic.
And, even if it was, there is still your attitude to be considered.
If there is any doubt about the nature of your friendship, on either side, it is really the safest option to end it.
Sometimes people do this out of respect for their girlfriend. It's easy to mistaken things for "cheating" when they aren't or even geberal jealousy. Personally I don't care if my boy has girls as friends but I'm just not gonna let him hang with them without me there because we all know how SOME girls like to chase guys with girlfriends.
I think it's normal within the first few months if you're so infatuated that you only want to spend every free minute with that special person. But if it continues, he doesn't really value your friendship enough that you should care when he's single again and contacting you.
I do the same. Except I don't totally ignore, I just reply short because I basically have no interest. This is towards someone I know but in general I ignore. I don't know why but it's like my full interest is going to the one I date and I'm just disinterested in others. I also don't want to give any wrong thoughts to others (that they think I like them) just because I'm a pretty happy gentle person. Also, of course, out of respect.
Guys might have the same reason.
well one they don't want to make their girlfriend jealous and 2, sorry to break it to you if you are naive of this, but you were probably just being kept around for the fact that you have a vagina and tits and now that he's got a vagina and tits to call his own he doesn't care about you anymore
I didn't like a girl because she was trying to get my ex-bf to cheat and she did get my ex-bf to cheat on me. I was one breaking up with him. Some boys or girl can get jealous of the relationship. It did happen to me twice. i got cheated on twice. by the way i met my new boyfriend from facebook.
My opinion is that must be a learned behaviour pattern from primary teachers (parents etc) and experience.
Some guys friendships are romances in waiting.
You pissed him off and didn't know.
He thought you fancied him so he's being nice to you by keeping away.
Maybe all, doubtlessly more.
Great question, thanks.
Ask him.
He will probably tell you.
It's totally common.
I had a friend who started to not see any girl from our group and then didn't meet with the guys neither. The girlfriend kept him away from everybody.
Also being honest I don't believe much in guys friend with girls, at some point there will be attraction.
And in my case (I'm single), if my girlfriend tells me to not see X girl, okay fine I don't care. I prefer her over random friend
