hey all,

one of my best friends has a crush on this cancer guy. we went out for halloween and I was SHOCKED by his behavior and wondering if it's common/what it means? He clearly has an interest in her, and yet him and his friend were constantly talking about how hot the girls in costumes were walking by. he even went so far as to go up to my friend, after passing by a costumed pair of airline stewardesses, if she and her friends still needed a ride home because he would totally drive them. It was happening SO much that I felt it was almost like he was trying so hard to look like some macho guy because he could vocalize how hot these girls were. (in complete honesty, my friend is attractive, and a dancer, and well-liked by a lot of other guys so i have no clue why he would put her in the friend zone so quickly and blatantly!) on top of all that he was talking to me a lot that night and was kind of flirty according to some other friends that were with us. but I'm just curious why he would so blantantly make all those comments in the presence of like 4 other attractive girls (my friend and the rest of us ladies)? do you think he was trying to impress her(by being a douche?) or was he really that obviously friend zoning her?

He's a guy, I don't know what you expected but this is typical single guy behavior, some taken guys behave this way too. Don't try to understand it because you won't, it is what it is, it's a man thang. I don't see how he was friend zoning her if he offered her a ride home, more details would be good.

Bullshit ladies! A guy is entitled to watch and comment to "his friends" as long as he doesn't become obnoxious with women or anything like that. He is not "trying" to be anything, he is a dude having a good time. My god, how much would you like to pussify us men....

Sounds like every attractive outgoing guy I know. Personally I find cancer men to be hilarious, and constantly trying to entertain their friends. I can't tell from your post whether he was interested in your friend or not, it just sounds like he was having a good time.

Okay, yeah I mean I have a ton of good looking young male friends and I've never seen them do that before.. I feel awkward commenting on how hot other men are kind of out of respect for them? i don't know... i feel like there's an unspoken rule i have to not comment on others of the opposite sex in the presence of the opposite sex because to me it's just kind of rude. that's just my opinion though. And yes I know guys do that but it was like SO EXCESSIVE all the other girls with us were talking about it. He said stuff at least like 6 times.

all other girls were talking about it... and you are STILL talking about it a week later...

lol! Cancers...

Does your friend that likes him know you are so interested in his behavior? You mentioned it seemed liked he was flirting with you too. Do you WANT your girl to get "friend-zoned"?

lol! Women....

I would talk about it for even more time ... and I don't even know the guy! I have been in this awkward situation too and it sucks! I would also be pissed off if someone would disrespect my female friends. But that's just me and I am loyal 😛

So what? If he goes out with girls, he is supposed to be one of the girls now? I hate this objectification of men.

Their is no unspoken rule, that's a rule you made up Roxy and yet it's not fair that you judge him for being and behaving like any guy would around hot girls, I dunno doesn't make sense what you're talking about, he's not obligated not to do what he did. You seem interested in him yourself and that's one rule that'll end your friendship with your girl friend, if you don't want him romantically and he's not your girl friends official boyfriend then stop worrying about his behavior.

LOL@tyranny, seems it's all in your head, we and others are actually agreeing with you, maybe you're programmed to defend against what you perceived to be female tyranny but in this particular thread no one is disagreeing with you least I'm not, so yeah uh okay.

haha no i'm not into him i'm dating someone else. but she's feeling really down about herself because of this other guy that basically made her feel like crap since he was hooking up with other girls behind her back (his bday is tomorrow.. sag??) and i hate seeing her so low in confidence.. and this guy commenting about other girls just made it worse

I understand. Are they, your friend and Sag officially a couple? If they are not a couple then why is she invested in him? Any woman investing her heart into a guy she isn't officially in a relationship will be hurt by her crushes behavior because his behavior is saying "I'm single" and yeah of course she'll be crushed if she's invested her heart into a guy that's not officially hers. He's not responsible for her feelings, even if he displayed interest in her well that doesn't mean he's not going to display interest in other women.

@tiki oh no they are not a couple, she just had a crush on him that's all. she ended up telling me today that she's secretly back "together" with our mutual friend that she never officially dated but he hurt her by sleeping with other people and being secretive about it.. it's not like he cheated or anything because they were never official but yeah she's back with him anyways. so I guess this problem is solved haha
