So I have a question about flirting and I don’t know if I’m being reasonable or not.
I’m single but was talking to a man (beginning stages of dating).
However, there is this another man (he knows that I was talking to this other man that I posted about above) that I like and have been corresponding with during that time and we would flirt with each other on occasion (more so on his side).
Well, the other day he heavily flirted with another woman in front of me and I became was jealous and upset.
I guess my question is, is it normal that I would feel jealous by that?
Raven
Yes, if it blatant & right in front of you…
Do remember, you both are single.

Thanks Raven.
“Do remember, you both are single.”
So by this, do you mean that, because we’re both single that him flirting with another woman in front of me is not something that I can be upset with HIM over per se, but just that it upset me in general?
I was a bit peeved with him and gave him the cold shoulder afterwards.
Do you think I may have overreacted?

It’s normal to feel jealous. I wouldn’t overanalyze your reaction because you’re human, you can’t help it. I think what Raven is saying is that you’re both single, therefore he has a right to flirt with whoever he wants to. You don’t have to like it, but he has a right to it. You also have the right to give him the cold shoulder if you choose to.
Having said that, this guy can’t be that interested in you if he is heavily flirting with other women right in front of you! So I wouldn’t take his flirting with you as an indication of romantic interest in you. Some guys just flirt for fun and for an ego boost. This guy may have been trying to make you jealous just to boost his ego, who knows. If the guy wanted to get closer to you and had a serious romantic interest, he would not screw things up by flirting with other women (heavily flirting!) right in front of you.

I feel like this guy is playing childish games with you. Who has time for that? I hope you walk away from him so that you don’t have to go through those emotions again. You’re above that nonsense.
ps – I would have given him a cold shoulder too. And then I would keep giving it to him!
Bye Felicia! -
