Why Do Women Do This?

Question

Why do girls get jealous about a guy they're not dating?

Isn't it sort of silly? I'm a single guy. I'm free to flirt with whoever I want. And I enjoy flirting. It doesn't hurt anybody. If a girl's going to get jealous about it... shouldn't she just get some courage and say, "I want you, I want to be with you, or whatever" rather than just getting all jealous and b*tchy?

Yeah Crimson, I know all about "fear of embarassment." Being a guy... I'm always the one running the risk of it when I make the first move.

And to the one who asked if I snog people's sisters... I don't think so, no.

Answer 1

Because you're a great guy.

I trust you.

I gotta work now. busy.

Answer 2

Just because a woman becomes jealous doesn't necessarily mean that she does want you on that level. I mean the whole thing is silly and I definitely agree with you on that but perhaps she likes getting attention from you and feels that when you do that she isn't a top priority. Now this reasoning can be applied to both someone who is interested in you on a romantic level or platonic level with the first, probably genuinely liking you and feels threatened by another woman or that you don't really like her that much or in that way since you two aren't exclusive and you are treating another woman in the same manner and the second perhaps just likes the attention and way that you make her feel about herself and also to an extent feels threatened and doesn't want to feel like she is second or something. No matter what whether there is a genuine interest in you or not, there is no reason to treat you like your their property and they need to act a little more mature by accepting it. If they like you, you are right in that they should say something to you instead of acting childish and 'b*tchy' and if they do not and just like receiving attention from you, they need to keep their mouths closed and deal with it.

It took me and my boyfriend almost 10 months to say the "L" word to one another and it hasn't been the same since. It's great at first but when you get that "commitment thing" going, things start getting stale or something. I am a wild spirit and have lots of friends that are guys and he knows that but it is hard to have a relationship when the other one is always hanging out with the opposite sex because of jealousy.
My belief is that if this girl you are not dating is getting jealous, then that means that she DOES want to date you. Ask her.

Sometimes we find it hard to express how we feel about a guy. alot of times its in situations where we were friends with them and we realize we like them as more but don't say anything in fear that they will not feel the same way as we do. If you like her and you see her getting jealous like that then you already know she likes you and to me are just as much to blame that you don't say anything either. Think about it. the only thing stopping you is the fear that you may be wrong. Well thats how she feels. and it ticks her off when she see's other women taking intrest in you because she wants you! next time she does it just laugh and say babe if you want me then you can have me, but if not let them! and see what she says. that will break the ice and if she doesn't like you that way then she will know to back off cause thats the impression she is giving.

Answer 5

well there are girls that do get jealous. but i don't get jealous i don't need to be jealous bc there other fish in the sea if one thing don't work out i can move on bc your life will go on and mine will to. like i do notice a lot of things and i do point them out to the guy I'm ether talking or seeing. I'm not embarrassed if i feel like saying something i will but honestly me personally i don't get jealous there is no need. if you think i am then you got the wrong impression. and you are right you are single and so am i. i flirt with other people to.

Answer 6

Yes, she should. Unfortunately, women (and I can say this because I am a woman) tend to do things that are absolutely ridiculous and hide behind the veil of "that's just what women do." Men can be like that too sometimes. People, in general, I think are avoiders and tend to avoid confrontation, which is exactly what that would be. She'd have to confront her own feelings and then confront you with them and risk rejection. It is also a reality that we can become protective of our friends and can be jealous of their attention if we think someone is going to take some of the attention normally given to us. The best thing to do is confront your friend. It'll be good for her. I don't believe women should consider it ok to be unreasonable just because we're women.

Answer 7

Some women are just jealous and are to afraid to say they want you because they fear rejection, I have flirted with you many times dear and never got jealous or anything but because I knew what we were doing some women just take things differently and end those are the women who always end up hurt.

Answer 8

First of all you need to tell women what you want up front. Be real I want sex, no relationship. Your not really my type but I'll have sex with you until I find that person, I would love you for a booty call, or I like you I want to see if I would like to start a relationship with you. Stop telling women what you think we want to hear. It's the truthand it will make us all free. Let her decide if she thinks you are a jerk or maybe she would just like you for a booty call to you never know until you tell the truth. But these days very few men will doing speaking for a lot of the women tell us the truth and let us deal with it no ,matter if you think it will hurt us or what. Help you sleep better at night. Oh and your righ they shouldn't act jealousy and bit***. Like you said they need to tell you what theyy want. Very true statement

Answer 9

This is true.Problem is too many girls don't want to be the one to do that. They think its up to the guy to come up to them and sweep them off their feet.
What they don't realize is to many times a guy can really like a girl but also not be ready for all the drama that goes with commitment. Like the expectations that they know that women will have because he has already hung with her and can see her views on things and therefore see what he is likely in for.

Answer 10

As hard as it may be to believe, girls are shy when it comes to telling a guy you like him, especially if you don't know how he feels. She wants you and expects you make the move in starting a relationship. The thing is...it may hurt too much if she tells you "I want you" and you say "ummm...okay" She can't take it when she see's you with another woman/girl, and it eats her up. Do you expect her to jump for joy when ever she sees you with a hot girl?

Answer 11

Yes I think that she should tell you she wants you and tell you that she wants to be with you. Getting jealous over something like that is just stupid.I know if I wanted you I wouldnt care if you flirted b/c you are your own man and I am not a insecure b*tch
