Gf touched guy friend arm

90 replies

Notquitethere01 · 04/04/2021 22:17

Met my gf friends. She has a good few guy friends. We met up with one who's a good friend of hers and another guy and girl I noticed that my gf touched the arm of this guy when they were chatting. Kind of alarmed me. She has said she always used to be a flirty type of person but now she's met me she has zero interest. Should I be worried about the arm touch or am i over thinking? She has known him a good few years. Alot longer than I have been with her. We met today for the first time as she introduced me to her friends

Huge red flag - your behaviour not hers though. It's quite a normal thing to do with friends.

Are arms the new erogenous zone?

BackforGood · 04/04/2021 23:01

As the title made no sense, I tired reading the op, but it makes no sense in terms of there being anything for anyone to be worried about.

Well, except for your gf, who probably needs to run a mile.

Ditch her. Ditch her now.

🙄

oopsydaisyyy · 04/04/2021 23:32

please leave her

GNCQ · 04/04/2021 23:35

Woah red flags waving all over.... Not over the arm touch mind you...

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 04/04/2021 23:41

No, you're quite right. Dump her immediately and no matter whether she begs or cries or not, don't ever, ever take her back.

it would be the best thing that happens to her all year

Unless "touched his arm" is code for, "pulled his trousers down in front of me and gave him a blow job." You're being a complete nutter and she should be scared that this is just the start of it.

Controlling, much?

Marineboy67 · 05/04/2021 01:56

I think there's probably an adolescent agony aunt for teeny boppers online somewhere. Sort of thing I'd read in my sisters 'Jackie' magazine in the 70's or Buntingford Grin

Typo....Bunty comic

Oh give over!

1forAll74 · 05/04/2021 02:29

Good heavens, is this for real. What a stupid thing to post about.

Happytobejabbed · 05/04/2021 05:57

My gran often used to touch the forearm of the person she was talking with.

It didn’t mean anything. (except that as a teenage boy you couldn’t escape,) It was just something she did. She was a bit touchy/feely - way before the exoression had been invented.

Given that you have posted this question I’m not sure that you are a keeper.

draughtycatflap · 05/04/2021 06:02

Was it hairy and veiny and a good girth? I do love a thick and juicy forearm.

AgentProvocateur · 05/04/2021 06:14

I hope she’s on the pill and doesn’t get pregnant from touching some guy’s arm.

MsSquiz · 05/04/2021 06:30

She touched his arm, not his penis!
Unless there's a lot more to this story, you're being ridiculous!

Shelddd · 05/04/2021 06:42

Do you know where you posted this? This will not go over well.

If it's a new relationship you should just relax, if she cheats, she cheats you'll more than likely find out soon enough and just end it when it happens. Cheating isn't something you should try and pre empt. You should just relax and enjoy your relationship and deal with it if/when it happens.

But ya without any other context an arm touch is meaningless. Some cultures/people are very touchy feely, could just be how she is. If it was just this one person and there was some other suspect behaviors then yeah i would start to worry.

afaloren · 05/04/2021 06:56

Do her a favour and break up with her so she’s free from your lunacy.

minipeanut · 05/04/2021 07:23

Can't be real but if it is get yourself for therapy

YouAreYourBestThing · 05/04/2021 07:36

You must be very young OP, and unsure how to navigate through a relationship, and some posters on here have been quite blunt with you, so I doubt that you will return.

If you are still reading though, please relax and take the advice offered on here...you are overreacting massively to what is extremely normal behaviour! If you continue to behave in this way, you will find yourself single.

Jealousy of this nature is destructive, and over something so inconsequential? You just can't behave like this!

villamariavintrapp · 05/04/2021 07:59

Think you're all being a bit unfair, OP doesn't say what the GF touched her friend's arm with? I assume it was her vagina? In which case she seems to lack boundaries and it could be a red flag.

Mo819 · 05/04/2021 08:21

I also have alot of male friends whom i am affectionate with i even hug them my husband is the same with his female friends .you are compleately over reacting

MazekeenSmith · 05/04/2021 08:22

You sound controlling
