lalasierra: I'm sure she is a fine woman, I just hope you are as fair to HER and laid back as you are appearing to be. Not that I am underestimating her.

No confident and independent woman would settle for anything less... and likewise for guys.

stefff: ahhh I was flirting with happy uhmmm stuck in traffic, yup that's it!


If you were with happy, no problem. I'm willing to share you with her. She's very generous with her men, so I'll return the favor. grin

If you're with someone for a while he just gets to know your friends bit by bit anyway. dunno

I don't know what that would have to do with trust, I think you either trust someone or not, if I think I couldn't, I would be out of there. super

Never had a problem with trust with an ex. wine

in once occasion, my man asked me about that matter and I was so damn proud... that means he really loves me... and it would be so terribly weird if we don't have a small percentage of jealousy... but maybe because I am too busy, so I don't have enough time to take detective class LOL... I don't know why I never worry about him...maybe because I know all of his cards from the beginning...LOL yay He is a bit popular though...I don't care about all of his friends, even his female cat..LOLlaugh

No cause If they don't trust me already then I doubt it would make that much of difference on who my friends were.

You can judge a lot about a person by the company they keep. It's important to know the type(s)he/she knocks about with for reasons other than trust.

It's a good sign when a woman wants to show you off to her harem. As likewise it's a very good sign to her when he parades her around infront of his friends. When a woman who doesn't introduce you to her male colleague/friend at the bar, this is a bad sign.

The reason you may have to be wary is if they deliberately avoid introducing you to their friends. But by no means should you expect to know them all.

Friends are not a big deal, unless maybe they were more than friends at one time or other... jest saying angel

While I enjoy having my gentleman friend and friends meet, it is not a neccasity (sp?). If a female or male wants to know everything about everyone you associate with in some way, usually tries to get you away from those people, even family. If that happens, look out.
I feel that man I am commited to trusts me and isn't jealous of male friends or co-workers. Trust and good self-esteem are needed for it to work. Also I feel if I treat my man good, give much attention, let him know he is the one, then he okay with my being out with friends or having a male friend. Just my life, others may feel different.

Eventually, if they´re ur partner for long enuf, they get to know your friends.
Whether they remain your friends through life is another matterwink
Whether the partner remains a partner is ALSO another matter.wink

Maus19: Isn't there a contradiction in answering yes?
Trust, but only if I know everything?
Isn't that the whole point?
Trusting, regardless of knowing all?
Know and understand all and trust becomes irrelevant.
Don't know all and one becomes deceitfull or is dishonest? mad.
thumbs up Precisely.

My ex, although very charming to their faces, didn't really like any of my friends so it was a pointless exercise introducing him to them.

With hindsight I don't think he wanted me to have friends.

NotMissTaken: What I mean is if my boyfriend needs to "meet and greet" all of my friends, he doesn't have to. But he's supposed to have an idea of who they are. From work, from HS, from college.

Not that I don't want him to know of the friends I meet.


Ok, why do I keep feeling the same way this chic does dunno
