Lets start again.. lol... had a shit few days...

Indeed it is... but my understanding was that the boundaries concerning the friendship in question had been established and the behavior inspiring this discussion constituted a violation of them.

Did she overreact? I can't say that she did. It's reasonable to expect a level of respect from anyone claiming to be a friend which means to me that when one demonstrates a lack of restraint through a pattern of behavior as set out in the OP, they really aren't a friend. She needed to get his attention- and his text response is confirmation that she in fact showed restraint IMO.

The greater issue I see emerging here is the premise that any guy is entitled to make moves on any female friend despite the fact that she has established a desire not to take cross the boundary from friend to "something more"- and it really shouldn't matter what rationale is given. it's disrespect either way and grounds to end the friendship.

That of course is "just" my opinion. I think certain parties in this thread are just trying to get a rise out of the OP- who should be wise enough not to react.

 

many dudes misread friendship as a signal to pull out their schlong....i've seen it happen many times

very frank discussion will usually prevent this

 

back in university when i was just starting to smoke regularly, i would always think that the tv was in mandarin or something. it was always English.

 

lol what if you could create a languge with your face with expressions.

That's funny egg. I used to think the band Rush was singing to just me.
