Why would someone who doesn’t want a relationship get upset if I date others?

[Finchie40]

And they told you they didn’t want a relationship at all, so they get upset when you date someone else? After you told them you are looking for a relationship? Why would they be upset at you when you clearly told them you were looking for a relationship? And they chose to say they weren’t?

My aim on GAG is to help you decode messy dating behavior and avoid walking into red flags in disguise 🔥

They want the benefits of you without the commitment. Classic “situationship entitlement.” They enjoy the attention, ego boost, and maybe the intimacy… but panic at actual commitment.

So when you date others, it threatens their control and supply. That’s not love, that’s possessiveness. Huge red flag, zero obligation on your part.

Because they want you to adapt to what they want. When you go off the reservation and do what you want, it suddenly dawns on them that they can't control you and they panic. Too fucking bad. She just discovered decisions have consequences. That's really hard for some people.

Yea I am not into head games whatsoever , if she isn’t honest to me from the beginning than there is no reason to continue seeing each other , why I think it’s stupid that people do shit like this , like it’s a test or some childish game they are playing. My thing is is you like me and I like you then be honest don’t play fucking games

Because they want relationship perks on a free trial! It's pure ego they don't want to commit, but they hate losing the attention. I'm dealing with a friend like this right now who gets totally jealous whenever I hang out with other girls, but still denies having feelings for me. 😁 😂

Yea I over these games that some girls’ try to play , if she can’t be honest with me from the beginning than nothing will ever come of us together , I can’t stand immature shit like this

I think sometimes people don’t want the responsibility of a relationship, but they still don’t like the idea of losing your attention. They may not want to commit, but they also don’t want someone else to have the place they were enjoying in your life. That can come from jealousy, attachment, insecurity, or simply wanting to keep their options open. But honestly, if they don’t want a relationship with you, they can’t expect you to stay unavailable for them. You’re allowed to move on.

Dude, if she's the same one who wants to track your location, turn and run the other way and don't look back.

Because at some-level they do, it’s just they’re way of being safe

[AgentG111]

That want to have some sort of control over you. Jealousy is amazing

[Abbycado]

Haven't a clue.

[RepleteAura]
