How would you react? (jealousy test lol)

You are having a nice conversation with someone you happen to have strong romantic feelings for and they presumably feel the same way about you but then out of the blue they bring up random stories about other males/females and start praising them in front of you. Would you be.....

A. Unaffected. You just let it roll off your shoulder or you might even throw in a praise or two to help liven up the conversation.

B. Moderately pissed but you're still able to nod along. You quietly wait for an opportunity to change the topic.

C. Pissed beyond words. The other person is virtually committing suicide by praising your rivals in front of you.

Please state your sign lol

Probably B 😆 and then maybe C
Depends I suppose, haha

Your love rivals. Not people in the media lol

seraph, I like that confidence lol
But wouldn't you feel a bit disappointed (maybe even a little disrespected) if someone you really liked did this to you? 😢
You wouldn't really mind?

D. i'd usually zone out at this point. there's no reason why ex's should be brought up in conversation between 2 people who have romantic feelings for each other. i'd more than likely see it as some sort of silly mind game. Actually maybe a lil bit of B. But it would definitely change my thoughts on the person. i'd take it as a sign that i should think more carefully before attempting to date this person. Capricorn.

I've experienced it before. I'm not the first, either.

If she's *already* attracted to you and you know she wants you (let's leave "presumably" for those who are still green), then what's the outcome going to be regardless of a), b), and c) ?

My first reaction would have been negative, obviously. When I was 18 or something. After a while you begin to understand where to put it and how to look at these things. Fast-forward to years of relationship highs and lows and everything in-between, and you'll get a different perspective.

In all things of this nature, where your pride and ego are challenged, it's always good policy to fall back on the Aspirin of dating: he who cares least, wins. The momentary feelings of hurt and confusion will then pass, and when she stops talking about her exes or this and that, the incontrovertible fact will still remain: she still wants you.

I'll admit, though, that this ability to detach and step back most often comes at the price of experience. And sometimes, I'm sure we catch ourselves falling back into old habits. 😉

Very wise words, sir.🙂
I sort of used to do (A). I thought that maybe a little reverse psychology would work wonders so I pretended as if it didn't affect me and I sometimes even encouraged that behavior in the other person. I fully welcomed the competition and thrived on it. But when noone was looking, I felt resentful and emotionally drained. I had to cultivate indifference in order to stop feeling so hurt. It's still a work in progress but I feel like I am slowly getting there...lol

A.

Simply because I'm constantly going 'damn,he's fine' when I'm with another guy.ahaha

lol seriously, they have the right to do whatever,say whatever...its actually nice, shows that he's open about things and that lets down the pressure so I'll be open too, without feeling weird about it...
and...you just said have strong romantic feelings for...not that we're dating so there's no reason to actually be like 'what the heck??' because the man is free!

... they presumably feel the same way about you ....

presumably .. as in taken for granted that it exists without evidence

F. stop being the ass who took for granted that he felt the same as I

< Pisces

I say A...give 'em rope... if continues or becomes a favorite topic then walk away from the relationship. Not worth arguing about. If they were so great they shouldn't have let them go in the first place, right?

Sagittarius :-)

B. Taurus> I would do a really good job of hiding it and I will throw in some good tidbits about the
person if needed.

I wouldn't be angry but I would be a little disappointed. I'd rather not hear those things.

+1

in some cases, people will set themselves up for heartbreak ..
way easier to place the blame on someone for "leading you on" than face the fact you were deceived by your own expectations

Nobody is pinning blame on anybody here.
Often when people feel a certain emotion, it is their choice to feel it.

I was simply asking everyone how an action like this would make them feel. That's it. The question of whether the other person is good or bad does not even come into play. It's a neutral question but people will interpret it in different ways and I can't stop that 🙂
What's the point of telling people not to feel somethiing? It's their choice to feel it.

Hehehe sorry! 😛

Oh these gorgeous teddy bear cupcake avatars come in so many different designs and colors!!!!! Would you like to see some of them??

THEY bring it up? That's like bragging on one's self...

c. i am a pisces female.

i would actually get angry infront of him but then would cry a lot when i am alone.

Awwww don't cry 😢

D. On to the next one. If we're having a nice conversation and trying to get to know each other better in hopes of possibly becoming more...neither one of us should be "praising" random males/females that have absolutely nothing to do with what we're trying to accomplish. If they are or were so awesome, he should be trying to get back with them instead of wasting my time.

VIRGO, of course.

A. Soon as he stops caring, so I would I. NEXT!

A ... but I would add in some of my own stories 🙂 Tit for tat

Sagittarius of course

😱 Uninterested.

Such a turn off, I see it as trying to control my emotions ie jealousy...

Libra

Ditto, I'd be suspicious.

I see that most of you chose B.) lol
I suppose we're all capable of feeling a little bit of jealousy regardless of sign lol

B but I wouldn't change the subject. I'd inquire about it, directly but casually. I'd say something like.. I didn't know you both got along so well. That's pretty cool. If they squirm, backtrack and stutter, then they are guilty of wanting more.

"A" unless the talk becomes seriously sexual, then I'd edge to "B" or worse see if I can outdo that friend for more cringe worthy praise.
I'm quite detached for a Taurus since I have an Aquarius moon, however I've stockpiled enough shocking experiences to scare my friends to the looney house 😛 🙂

C.)

I'm insecure.

A.)

aquarius
gemini moon
libra rising.

i think its just a topic of conversation and i would feel the intention isn't about hurting me but rather to connect with me. I had tons of these experiences in which the guy would talk and talk about previous relationships. But how i SAW it was a story of how he developed into the present guy and how i play into all of it. I must be even awesomer! 😄

It depends on what I perceive his intentions are: if he said those things with the intention to make me jealous, then that is malicious and immature, so C.
If he's truly clueless and doesn't realize that what he is saying could possibly hurt my feelings, then B.
If he sincerely is praising someone for an achievement or something she did that he admires, and it has more to do with that than with her looks, then A.

Scorpio sun, Aqua moon.

A.
Cancer

I really do not see what the big deal is at all.

A..the non chalant sag..I AM🙂 play wit fire yo ass will get burned...we always win 🙂
