A male Netherlands age 36-40, anonymous writes:

tottaly dig this girl but she chose to remain in her current relationship. All is fine , I found peace with her decision as i do have a crush.

Tho , I would like to know her and hang around as friends, not that strange feeling right ? I don't demand her breaking up, just to hang out.

She says me , relationships is about comprisses and agreements, her bf does not want her to hang out with new people who she learned to know. As i do have a crush but I respect her decision and just want to be friends.

But she says she cant, cause he feels uncomfortable with new guys entering her life..

WTH is it with this , is it normal for a bf to ignore his girl to make friends?

I do agree i did had some intentions but i will never make em break , i respect the girl totaly , her character , humor , ... are awesome. I just want to get to know her a litle but. But i'm not part of the "friends u alrdy had before u know me"club.

any advice please

her bf sounds like a control freak! she needs to realise that and break free from him or tell him that she is her own person and can do what she likes. i don't understand when these younger girls do as their bf's tell them to. if a guy told me i could not make new friends i would tell him where to go. so no it is not normal, he is obviously insecure and an idiot. she should beable to be friends with whoever she wants.

PM agony auntI wouldn't say that it's normal, but it's not "unnormal."

If he knows that she's the type of girl who attracts a lot of male attention, then asking her not to hang out with any guys he doesn't know and to not spend too much time with other guys is simply his way of telling her that she needs to protect the relationship they have together. The fact that she's willing to follow his lead in this matter shows that she's actually a good girlfriend.
