Search Results: work things out with his girlfriend

Do you think this girl's mother is an entitled woman asking for too much? Please read.

I'm just an observant (a family friend). The girl was dating her boyfriend for 4 months. All was great until the lady excluded him on a family event and got involved in the relationship too much. The lady even speaks for her daughter on conversations, interrupts on the table too.

The guy reacted like anyone would've: reducing his visits, distancing from the relationship, hardly going out on dates and spending more time on work, with friends and elsewhere... away from drama, the meddling mother and his pushover girlfriend.

The girl's b-day was last month and the lady argued with the guy badly. She literally insulted him (making him cry in anger) because he came with no gift. He came with nothing because the lady ruined the surprise date. He was gonna take her on a restaurant. The lady literally told him what to get for his daughter and organized the b-day herself. The girl said nothing, stood there, didn't defend him.

When the guy claimed he was gonna surprise her on her b-day, she thought it would be with a damn engagement ring. LOL
- The relationship went south ever since the mother meddled
- The guy's girlfriend is a total pushover; she's already 20 years old
- The girl doesn't want kids nor a family
- The girl hasn't really been doing anything for the guy besides having sex.
- Just because she lost her virginity to him, doesn't mean he has to marry her, esp if she's not contributing anything and he has more to lose.
- I heard the girl once told him ''I'll abort the thing if you ever get me pregnant''. She referred to an unborn baby as a thing.
- The girl doesn't even know how to make basic meals, balance a checkbook, take care of herself, act like an adult, etc.

With all those negative points, the drama and everything else... the lady really thinks her daugher deserved a ring on her finger.

I have started working at this restaurant for almost about a year and recently I met this wonderful guy that I found out worked seasonally because of his schooling at Indiana University. Do keep in mind that I am the shy, quiet, and introverted person. He started talking to me the first day I met him. He is a friendly guy and I am honestly surprised by how much I actually opened up to him within the expand of a couple of months. I felt like he and I became really good friends on the spot. We tell each other stories, jokes, work related stuff, and have really good conversations for the most part. Now eavesdropping on a coworker talking to my crush I found out about his girlfriend. This felt like a stab in the chest because he and I get along so well and I was starting to think that it was eventually going to blossom into something more than friendship eventually. He never once mentioned his girlfriend to me no matter what we talked about at work, and I can never understand why. The other day he stopped by at my work on his day off with some of his friends including his girlfriend, I casually said hi to him and talked with him a little bit before he went to go sit down with his friends and girlfriend he told me that he was hanging out with some friends and never mentioned his girlfriend. Maybe I am over thinking things but I can’t tell if he is just being friendly or if he is just secretly attracted to me in some way. Whenever I would say hi to him his face lights up, he would look me in my eyes for a long period of time whenever I talk to him, he is always smiling at me, he complimented how smart I was the other day, he is either making me smile or laugh, he is always saying hi and bye to me before and after work, and sometimes I would feel like he would act nervous around me or avoid me even though he and I are good friends. Why would he act this way even when he has a girlfriend? Is it attraction? Is he just being friendly and I am overthinking? Please help.
