Guys, if you recently found out that a female friend who acted like she was interested in you actually had a boyfriend, would you end the friendship?

I might not be wise enough to answer the question. But what I can say is you mentioned female friend who acted like she was interested in you who had a boyfriend. So was she really interested or it was just some sort of misunderstanding which created a sort of spark in your mind that she is interested in you. I know that sometimes some girls do open up and try to be themselves and be so close to us that sometimes we might interpret as if she is interested in us. But the case is, it might be her nature or she might be like that around people who she felt most comfortable with. People she trusted the most. People she thought they will maintain only healthy friendship with her. So before getting to any conclusions its always better to talk face to face with her and try to be very specific about what you felt and what her intentions were. But whatever the case might be you can always try to be friends with her by keeping proper boundaries thats what I personally feel.

P. S. - My opinion is completed based on the word you mentioned 'acted like' which was just based on your assumption and without any confessions from her that saying she was interested in you though she had a boyfriend.

[FruDawg1]

She loves it when I flirt with her and suggested that we get drinks and get drunk together and she shared personal info about herself, and she wants me to meet her new cat

[Well_Wisher]

Before you reach to any conclusions, you need to see where she acts the same around the person she is most comfortable with. Is she really over friendly with few people other than you and she behaves the same with them too just like she behaves around you? And if you really think that you both are really close enough and share about personal and emotional stuffs, you might even think about confronting her directly saying I am kinda getting mixed signals from you but you are already in a relationship. So am I trying to be over critical about it or you do have a thing for me too. Something like that. But it depends on how your bond actually is. Its always better to spectate her around other close friends to get for signs where she is interested in you or not. And if she is not into you and you embrace your friendship with her, it would be better to stop thinking whether she is interested in you or not and just focus on the kind of connection you have with her. Because overthinking might ruin something precious. As long as what is between you and your friend is not causing any harm (mentally, emotionally and physically) to you, her and her boyfriend, I believe there shouldn't be any problem for you to stop seeing her. But if you have feelings for her this friendship can be a bit complicated.

[TommyMountainFigure]

You mean she flirted with me? Made me feel like I was 'in with a chance?'

Nope. I wouldn't end the friendship. I know a couple of girls like that and they flirt with me PURELY because they know I'm not interested. One is single and the other has a boyfriend.

Both girls are friends of my girlfriend.

[FruDawg1]

There’s another woman who came into the picture last year and we’ve become closer over text and have met in person a co

[IJhonnyI]

Yes because IF I was interested think of it this way if she does end up breaking up with her boyfriend and going with me she could do the same too me and I ain't that shallow to be someone's second choice let alone that she had a boy friend and was even ACTING interested that's jus red flag all around

[FruDawg1]

It’s a good thing that I moved on to another woman who is actually interested

[IJhonnyI]

That's good keep moving forward my bro glad too hear this

[D_Bone_Steak]

I wouldn't end a friendship for something as dull as that. I would though adhere to the philosophy of "no woman is ever yours, it was just your turn."

Sounds crude I know, and I bet a lot of chicks would be like, "I'm not like that" but stick around them long enough and you'll find out. Disney lied and chicks have wondering eyes just like I do.

[Texaskid1]

Yes.

A man and a woman are never really friends per se. A woman knows if you are into her or not. If she has a boyfriend then she is keeping him around for favors ( money, rides, shoulder to cry on etc) or attention. She knows that you want to be with her but she still goes with the boyfriend. I have been down that road before. She is using you plain and simple.

There is a concept called orbiter and it is related to red pill ideology. Look it up.

[FruDawg1]

That’s 💯 accurate! She travels a lot, but will only show the other females she is with. Her boyfriend drives very expensive cars

[LigmaBallsack]

It would depend on the situation, but judging from what you have replied to the other guys on this post I suggest you make like Hawk Harrelson and say “she gone” because you deserve better than that OP.

As another guy said “we are men with our without women”.

[BCA6010]

No, but if she said or did something that was really pushing boundaries I'd say something to tell her off.

[FruDawg1]

She and I had a bit of a falling out about a year ago, so she isn’t as flirtatious as she was

[Anonymous]

Not unless it was becoming an issue in the friendship. A talk about boundaries might need to happen first, but then if it wasn't being respected, or feelings were too strong to continue a friendship, then maybe.

[FruDawg1]

It’s not too big of an issue since I haven’t seen her since 2019

[Part2603]

Yeah. End it by transitioning into a sexual relationship.

[FruDawg1]

I’ve actually started flirting with a woman who is actually single recently

[Whatever2929292]

If I took things the wrong way then that is my fault. If she was doing it intentionally then yes I would. I don't like cheaters to start with

[RotOfStars]

No. But I would likely put more emotional distance between us.

[FruDawg1]

It’s a good thing that another woman started flirting with me then

[RotOfStars]

Exactly. If she wants to play games.. cool. She ain't the only female in your life. Don't let her have that kind of power and don't let her forget. We are men with or without a woman

[ChrisMike1919]

I wouldn't rip the friendship for good but I would stay a bit away than before.

[FruDawg1]

I haven’t seen her since 2019, but I have female friends who consider her their best friend

[ChrisMike1919]

Well, it is what it is...

[Twalli]

Not really, since it's a friendship, not a relationship. Now if I was the type of guy who is incapable of having female friends I don't intend to fuck, then I may.

[FruDawg1]

I’m in a friend group and there’s 4 of us. I’m the only guy in this friend group. They basically call themselves Charlie’s Angels, but changed it to the name of the nightclub where my two friends met this girl

[serious]

If that happened then the answer is YES. Without doubt.

[PJH359]

No I would not end it. I would give her reason to leave the boyfriend for me.

[Dontaaaa]

I would communicate with her about it before making the hasty decision of cutting her off.

[FruDawg1]

She unfollowed me on her main Instagram account about a year ago, but still follow her on it and she follows me on another that she made for her cat. We had a brief falling out for me telling a guy that she and I were probably going to bang soon

[JuStHoMiEsRiGhT]

Ye it really depends you know a a a a a a. A a a a a. A a a a a. A a a. A a a a a a a. A a a a a. A a a a a a a a. A a a a a a. A a a a a a a. A a a a a. A a a a. A a. A a a a a. A a a a a. A a a a. A a a a a a. A a a a a. A a a a a a🥱☕️

[Anonymous]

It depends. If I thought her "acting like it was intentional" you betcha I would. Because a woman that does that ISN'T a friend of yours anyhow. So really you've lost nothing.

[Adronicus]

Depends on whether I was attracted to her or not; if so yes if not no.

[LazyProphet]

No but I wouldn't sleep with her either, not while she has a boyfriend.

[KrakenAttackin]

Yes. She is just looking to build her friend zone bench.

[FruDawg1]

I have been focusing on another woman lately

[rain-man1992]

That alittle questionable cause some talk like that but then again she might be trying too do some cuddy with you then your stuck in middle of some drama maybe leave it alone

[EnglishEuropean]

I'd maintain the friendship, at least until she dropped this other loser.

[bamesjond0069]

Of course. Thats messed up. Either she's playing your or trying to be a cheater. Either way.

[Anonymous]

No, not right off. But I would establish boundaries.

[FruDawg1]

This woman who had shown interest in me for 3 years recently admitted to having a boyfriend after I messaged her and asked

[Jltakk]

No, but I'd definitely know what kind of partner she would be.

[Guy13]

Yes because she’s screwing with your head.

[FruDawg1]

We’re not great friends. I’ve only met her a couple times and met her through friends. We have been sending DMs and texts

[Guy13]

Just don’t get attached…unless she’s on the volleyball court then Spiderman her ass
🏐 👋💪

[FruDawg1]

I actually rejected another woman last December because I thought this woman was into me, but now the flirting has gotten more intense online with this new woman

[Straight2thepoint]

U need more friends. Avoid drama.

[TexasRed95]

No that's extremely shallow.

[Xtendable]

I’d still enjoy her friendship

[FruDawg1]

Yeah, she still really wants to hangout and go out drinking with our other friends

[Xtendable]

So, keep being her friend. You’re not going to seduce you, are you?

[FruDawg1]

Met another woman last summer and met for coffee in December. Our texting has been transitioning to flirting

[Waldoe]

I would Not end the friendship...

[20yearsolder]

No, why would I
