Just a little rant since I just came across a blog entry.

Since I had this situation before, playing both the girlfriend and friend part, I think I have a lot of insight on this. I remember reading Jon's blog about this topic as well. Being too friendly = flirting?

If you're gonna be friends with someone's boyfriend, then you got to know how to handle that friendship. You can't be too friendly that it could be considered flirting. I mean..yeah, maybe you don't see it as your fault, it's all the girlfriend's fault for being so sensitive and inconsiderate about your friendship with her boyfriend. But hey, we all know that girls are not only sensitive but also have a good intuition. If she thinks you're flirting, most likely it's not a lapse of judgment; there must be a reason it feels like flirting right? I'm thinking if this problem keeps on coming up for you, then maybe the problem lies with you unless all the girlfriends in the whole are just teaming up on you.

I don't think girls get this reasoning unless they actually experience being the girlfriend. I remember back in my days with the whole Connie/Matt experience, I totally didn't think it was fair. But after going through it myself, I understand the girlfriend point of view.

I know for me, I try to ...set a little distance between my guy friends that have girlfriends. I don't want to ruin their relationship or our friendship. It's a win-win situation =)

Rant finished! What are your thoughts? Sorry that it may be a bit confusing, I just typed out whatever I was feeling without trying to word it simply and nicely, haha.
