I have another single mum friend. In many ways she is lovely and supportive and she has had a fair amount of crap from men like myself. The only thing is she loves to be the centre of male attention. I know we all do to a certain extent but sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable. She recently was seeing a few men at the same time because none of them would commit. She seems to want to please them at all cost. I have liked this one man for a long time and he likes me as he's told me but the timing has always been wrong (other relationships etc) He has recently come back on the market and we are now friends on facebook. I was telling my friend this last night and how happy I was but how I was going to let him chase me and low and behold about half an hour later I found out she had just added him as a friend since our conversation. Now I know I am being a bit unreasonable as they do know each other vaguely in town. I really wouldn't mind them being friends on facebook (not up to me anyway) if I didn't feel that my friend wasn't suddenly competeing with me for male attention. I think it's the fact we had the conversation which then prompted her to befriend him and also teh fact that she's getting lots of male attention right now. I am being silly aren't I? I just hate the sqabbling that goes on between girls over silly men and I don't want to be complicit. I also must metion that I feel uneasy as she has flirted with him before knowing full well that I like him. She is never short of a date and all I want is a chance to be with a nice man.
