Today i went with dh to sandwich shop where he goes for his lunch mostly on own.
the young girl in there went to talk to him saw me backed away and then ignored us!! And he never introduces me normally. . I thought it was very funny more than anything. What do u make of it?

He introduced you to this girl?
Sounds like she has expressed an interest in him and whatever he had said previously didn't convince her, so he's brought you in as back up to get her to drop it.

I would say he usually has a chat/flirt with her and she didn't know he has a DW.

What i thought aswell by reaction. She was so panicked liked she wanted to run out of the room. Fun over love. ;-)

He usually has a chat/flirt with her. She's got a bit too flirty or he realises that she actually does fancy her or it's all somehow gone a bit too far.

He's tried backing off but she hasn't got the message.

He's taken you along to try and make her realise that he's not interested.

That's what I make of it.

Hope you've made it clear to your dh that his fun is over too. Doesn't sound like any chatting or flirting between them was all coming from her.

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 16:25

Yes. He knew what i had cottoned onto. I will walk past their window freequently whenever i am i town too as a reminder.

I'm sorry but it doesn't sound like there's a great relationship between the two of you if you feel you will need to do that to remind him not to flirt with young girls. Sad

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 16:33

Yes he doesnt see what he does as flirty but from my eyes and other womens eyes it will.
been lots of arguments about it as he struggles with talking to people yet when he does it comes across like this.

How young is she? She probably has a bit of a harmless crush and was embarrassed.

Jan45 · 03/06/2014 16:38

She fancies him, or he fancies her or they both day, either way, none of it's acceptable.

And that's BS that he doesn't realise he's flirting, yes he does.

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 16:38

She was prob early late 20's early 30's similar age. I thought a crush too Thats got out of hand maybe.

I'm sure you don't need to go parading in front of the shop as a reminder. Now she knows he's in a relationship I'm sure she won't give him a second thought.

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 16:44

Lol. I know thought tempting though ;)

Probably a bit of flirting on both sides when she asks him how he'd like his sausages done, and then one day in he walks with you and she is mortified.

If it were me I would probably make a joke out of it to let him know you noticed and start making his sandwiches for him in the morning ;-)

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 18:33

I have jokingly suggested i make lunches he has agreed which is interesting. Thought i would get no its fine.

Whatever went on it went out of his depth and he got uncomfortable if not scared if he has agreed to you making his lunch. Perhaps he thought it was a bit of innocent flirty banter, no harm and not taken seriously and this girls reaction has made him think he is unable to gauge peoples reactions for the time being.

It is also possible that he has genuinely not encouraged her attentions beyond being friendly as he would to anyone and is feeling a bit uncomfortable and is looking for an out so he doesn't have to see her in case this hasn't put her off.

Talk to him and ask him what is wrong, 99% of the time these things are trivial but there is a 1% where it becomes a serious problem and other agencies have to be involved. Not saying she is beginning to stalk him but there is enough going on for him to feel he needs to involve others (you) even if its covertly.

ROUNDandROUNDINCIRCILESMORETHA · 03/06/2014 19:59

That is a very good point.
