Well, she definitely has you on a leash. If you're spending more time with her friends in their social setting then she's the alpha and you're the gimp.

She should be doing things with your friends in your social setting more than you in hers.

Man up or lube up - its your choice.

The answer to this dilemma is always to act like you don't give a frick. Be nice and courteous to this guy, and all his friends, but kindly just don't give a frick.

There's almost nothing someone can do to another if they know they don't give a frick. Only when they know they're in your head have you lost.

Your problem is that like Obama, you have an inaccurate, inflated sense of self worth.

Im not reading all 20 pages but read the first few. Ill give you some prospective from the guys side.

One of my closest friends is a female and yes we did frick before but havent in years and never will again. We already are past that decision and made the decision we were never gonna be together and were better off friends. However most guys she dates dont care for me because of our closeness and their assumption that we have fricked and still do. Even though they are wrong in thinking we still do I can see how insecurity may set in so unlike this dude who seems a douche I dont try and make her boyfriends insecure by attention whoring for her attention. I leave her be so that guys can eventually realize my friendship with her is just that. A friendship and nothing more. And the time I spend with her becomes much fewer and far between than when we are single. And we both understand that but also know we are still best friends and cant have distance but still be there for one another. And it funny cause if ppl insinuate that oh yeah u want to be with her. My response is like no I definitely dont. I know way to much of the shite she does to have to ever deal with her as a gf.

So the whole point is yes your gf has more than likely fricked this dude before. And they have already made a decision not to be together and just be friends otherwise they would be together and you wouldnt be around. And if u or anyone ever asked her about being with that dude her response would likely be something to that similar to mine. Probably a yeah right u think I want a guy always flirting with every girl he sees etc...so honestly youre worrying about nothing pretty likely and I wouldnt worry at all. Sit back have a drink and present a confidence about yourself that as soon as yall leave youre going to frick the shite out of your girl and hes too much of a dbag to have anything to do about it.

Stop worrying about him and just be you. If other people and especially your GF don't like that then you don't need to be around/with them

I guarantee you that in social situations you show your frustrations more than you know.

How serious are you about this girl? If life is miserable with this new gal, find another. Go solo for a awhile. That's the new trend, by the way.

How old are you? If you're under 30, don't spend another second worrying about it.

Pay your woman less attention. She appears to want attention from him but she really wants it from you for all the wrong reasons.

If she wanted to frick him you probably wouldn't know he existed. Women are sneaky when they need to be..

Ignore the bitch.

Then why are you with her? If a girl shows no interest in your job or other interests, or doesn't at least pretend to show interest, then she is not a keeper.

Just end the relationship. She will dump you soon enough anyway because you are not accepted in her "in" crowd.

Ten years ago, I met a woman who was 6 years older and we dated for 6 months. She was a former UT homecoming court sorority gal in college. She was the VP of the Atlanta Junior League. Carried one of those nation placards at the 96 Olympic Opening Ceremony as they marched in. High society gal. To boot....Her father was a recently retired Major General who was working as a consultant to the Saudi Royal Family. Aside from that, he was the Forward Commander as a Brig when boots hit the ground in Riyahd in 91. I was just a normal dude with no social bearing. I had a good job . A degree from UGA and a normal social network. We met at a black tie function where she and I were only 2 caucasions out of maybe 30 at an event of over 400 African American notables in the Atlanta area. I pin pointed her early in the evening as my target. We ended up dancing and talking and exchanged numbers. Also found out that she was fresh out of a relationship and had no kids at age 40.

All was well for the first 4 months. Her parents, who lived in Destin, were extremely nice to me on the 2 occasions that she and I went to stay at their home. Her dad was probably the most interesting man I have ever met. He led the incursion into Panama and had all kinds of knick knacks taken from Noriegas main home. Photos of himself, Cheney and Schwarzkoph peering over field maps in SA. Two rolexes given to him by the Saudi Royal House with their emblem in diamonds. He took me to Eglin to watch the Thunderbirds while my GF and the mom went .shopping. I really knew I had out punted my coverage.

Things were still great ....until she started introducing me to her social life. I later realized that she had kept me....her boy toy from the other side of the tracks.....a secret. She finally started taking me around her friends at social functions, Junior Leauge events, etc.. Man, I was so far out of my element and I knew it. She required us to drive her Benz instead of my company issued Accord. Had to watch everything that I said among that crowd as I had nothing in common with them. They were all old money. I was nothing but "hot" trash in their eyes. Anyway, she dumped me after I had given her the 6 months of the Dick Leverage treatment she wanted from me. Not saying I was mad but I would be remiss by not admitting that I was enjoying the temporary status bump.

Anyway, she will dump you soon so you should go ahead and take the honor if dumping her first. Her friends will poison the well in time. No use in fighting. Return to your station in life immediately.

You're welcome. Most of the advice was already there in the 20 pages, but some of your situation resonated with me, so I felt could add some perspective... even if it annoyed some and drew the expected tldr responses.

It's almost a paradox to say be cool and be yourself... but work on yourself. But that is the key. When you have a strong base, then everything and everyone else will fall in place in your life more naturally. Best of luck.

I'm resuming violin lessons (haven't played in 12 years but played for 10 years as a kid) this week. I'm also heading to a beginning Spanish meet up group and am thinking about joining a kickboxing class down the street from my condo (I already belong to a gym and am in probably the best shape of my life, but I feel like it would be a good place to meet people).

I think my biggest weakness is no good male friends up here. I'm going to ride this out and try to improve myself as quick as possible. If the relationship doesn't work out at least I'll have started laying the foundation to make myself a better person.

Does anybody else have any ideas of how to organically meet swaggy bros in a new town? Meetup groups seem kind of lame but I'm pretty desperate at this point. I am a good athlete but feel like the athletic teams are more conducive to lifelong friends who don't seem eager to add a new dude to their social circle. I could be wrong on that.

[quote]Dude sounds like a douche. Do you have any successful friends in a similar field but work as opposed to teach. The old saying "those who can't ..teach" is far more accurate than you know. Bring them around and have them utterly shut this guy down with real world experience instead of just theory. Also if you're not easy going or clicking in a certain socials group don't try and force "acting cool", it'll make you look like the douche

This

or just get rid of her ... sounds like an issue that will come around again .. possibly in a worse way
