I just feel like if you're in a relationship you shouldn't be telling other girls you find them attractive.. Pornstars, celebrities, unattainable women are one thing. Women who actually want to and COULD fuck you, are another.
It's really fucking annoying. Tell your guy friends when you think a chicks hot, sure. Hell you can even tell me.. But telling the girl is not cool in my opinion.
I agree with that. I don't think you should make obvious plays for another girl if you're in a relationship (or she is). But sometimes you can find yourself on a fine line, when your only intention is to just be nice or joke around with someone (in a friendly way). Just by being friendly, you
may give someone the impression that you're making a subtle play for them. Some girls, who are used to overt flirting or pickup lines (which they would probably reject), might get the idea that friendly gestures are your way of expressing a romantic interest in them - when that's not the case.
So if you pay someone an innocent compliment, and you notice that they light up after you say it, and then you get a kiss on the cheek for Christmas, a "boob press" when they ask what you're working on one day and then they invite you out for a drink when you stay in town for an extra night, someone has definitely misinterpreted something... or you've sent a (unintended) mixed signal.
If my girl found herself in the same situation, I wouldn't blame her. There is a little fellow where she works who has a massive crush on her. She's nice to him (in a friendly way), but I know she has no interest in him. As long as she's not leading him on (as I wouldn't lead this girl on where I work), you can't control how other people react to you. But if they suddenly go all "puppy dog love" on you, you probably have to get that straight and not just let it go on & on. I can have someone fired or evicted today and sleep well the same night. You sometimes have to do things (for business reasons) that are going to hurt someone. But I see no need in hurting people by careless actions or on purpose (unless they're really asking to get smacked)... especially when it's someone you claim to care about.
