Whose showing me quite a lot of attention.

I've been seeing the man for a few months and imo he's a bit special. He's quite "different" can talk to anyone (sometimes too much!) and will do nice things for loads of random people just to do something nice. Very easy going about how others treat him - won't take offence at anything.

Anyway an old male school friend of mine has reappeared after being abroad for 2 decades. He's appeared on my FB and in my messages and been turning up at some of the regular events I go to. He's nice enough but not my type, very flirty with everyone, one of those men who can get away with saying things that would be creepy from others iyswim. Good company in small measures.

BF likes him and rather than feeling threatened by him, appears to be going out of his way to befriend him. E.g we're all going to an even this week, which BF could have easily declined. I thought maybe BF wanted to come to keep an eye, which I was mildly offended by, but now BF has invitied him to gonto a club event I won't be at.

I'm undecided if this is lovely or a bit controlling?

It's neither really, is it? 🤷‍♂️

You've described a guy who's friendly to everyone and here he is, being friendly to this guy who's been out of the country for 20 years and could probably do with someone to hang out with.

Neither. Normal.
