When your SO meets your friends for the first time do you sort of worry that they might be attracted to one of them? Admittly I have in the past not so with this womAn but she did admit to me she was worried about me meeting one of her female friends. Did this ever happen to you? Have you been more attracted to one of your SO's friends? What happaned?

No, because I am a good friend. When your friend tells you about their SO, you should immediately put up a mental block from being attracted to the SO. A guy my best friend was really interested in turned her down, a year or so later he asked me out. Even though it was over a year later, I still said no on principle. It's just being a good friend.

No. This seems like a silly thing to worry about, as there is no fix short of giving up all your friends and living with your SO as hermits!

We also choose who we are with and want to be with, and that is each other. If that ever changes so that one of us would be happier with someone else, so be it. We wouldn't want the other to stay involuntarily.

This is called "insecurity" or perhaps "low self esteem".

Nope.

I have some pretty cute girlfriends. Heck, I'd kiss a few of them (in my head). My SO has some pretty cute guy friends. It's called admiring, and we all do it every day. However, attraction in my brain goes beyond physical, therefore my SO is still the most attractive to me. He still wins. And I better still win.

I don't worry though. The way I see it, if he started admiring one of my friends more than me, let him. They weeded out a skeezy guy for me.

What do you mean by worried? Do you mean that you would rather avoid having them meet? If so, then how the hell are you going to get over the jealousy that exists in day to day interactions?

I have been attracted to my girlfriends friends before, but it doesn't mean I will act on it. Just because your in a relationship doesn't mean that your genetics shut down for everyone BUT the girl you are with. I kind of hope my SO is attracted to my friends. That way she can hook them up with her friends and we can double date. haha.

I know this stems from being pushed aside when she goes out with said friend. I don't see the appeal with her friend. I've been out on a date with women before & met her friends & thought she cute but that's it. I didn't even think she was all that. WAY to skinny for me!

My SO to my friends, no.

Me to my SO's friends, no and as a matter of fact her best friend is the only person I can honestly say I hate.

No, they're all shorter than me and he likes 'em tall.
