Search Results: i want him to be honest with me

Let's call my ex boyfriend for LUKE

Yesterday me and my best friend were texting about work and she suddenly texten this👇, but I tried to play it cool=

She= By the way, would it be okay if I come in contacted with Luke again? I don't want to do it behind your back, that's why I'm asking☺️

Me= As friends or a date?

She= Friends

Me= I was going to say that no matter what, you don't need my permission for that. Sure it's uncomfortable, to be honest, but I would never stop someone from being friends or anything with someone.

She= No, I know that! But I still wanted to ask you because I didn't want to go behind your back, you're still my best friend❤️

Me= That's my honest answer. Well thought out, that's my honest answer anyway.

She= And if you had said no, I wouldn't have contacted him

Me= Cute, but it's okay

She= Okay, good to know❤️
Me= yes

Story = so in 2023 me and this guy Luke dated from May- August, but broke up because he says he had issues with his family and work and is so stressed and can't jungle everything rn or give me the kind of man I want rn. So I thought that I should not be a burden and just accept his excuse and break up. During the first week we were dating , I had asked my friends if they knew him. my best friend sayd she knows him and that they had a small crush on each other when they were teenagers and he had kissed her on the cheek and run. I felt uncomfortable and even tho I had began to like Luke a lot, I was ready to end it, but then my best friend sayd that I don't need to end it because they don't have feelings for each other and that I should not let it come between me and love. So I trusted her words, but still felt uncomfortable and wanted to hear Luke's side of the story too if he likes her or if they were together of something long ago. He sayd no and a assured me that it was just a small crush back then and he doesn't feel anything for her. So I trusted him and felt less ucomfortable.

God I was blind...

Hi Guys and Gals!

I came across an article after hanging out with a few friends yesterday.

Reading closely, the article reinforces the idea that on some level we're basically flirting with most people we grow close to... friends as well as folks we consider "relationship material". Hmm. It reminded me of what y'all said reply to a few of my previous behavioral questions:

• How often do you text someone (opp gender) who you're just friends with?
• Why would someone with reductive thought patterns suddenly want to be friends when he doesn't value his interactions with women?
• Be honest, someone writes you a long message/email (1+ page), do you read the whole thing or just skim?
• Girls, Ladies, ever had a friend who claims she "considers you a sister" but is constantly stabbing you in the back?
• Seems one of my guy friends has caught "girl next door" fever... WT* am I supposed to do?
• How do you know if a guy just sees you as a potential "side piece"?
• Go Fish: Do guys "fish" to see if their close female friends are interested even if the gal only sees him as an elder brotherly figure, nothing more?

(It's a lot... those who have time to browse can, those who don't... skip ahead to the poll. I'm just trying to tie a few things together pertaining to a behavioral issue I'm trying to assess and resolve amicably.)

SO...

• Please see which type of flirt you think you are...
• Share the strangest flirtatious comment someone used on you...
• Share your biggest (or most interesting) flirting blooper.

Please try to be honest with your self while answering this poll, thanks
