My male best friend loves the ladies. He’s a dog and he knows it. He sees nothing wrong with trying to get with as many girls as he can. Just to be clear, they’re all more than happy to comply.
Of course he’ll meet the “occasional one” which he’ll momentary picture a future with, and then snap right back into reality as soon as she says or makes one move towards that future path. He enjoys calling all of the girls “wifey” or “marteh” and to be fair they love it too- yes even after only two weeks of dating. Then he’ll proceed to leave them, either by text or phone or by simply fading out of their lives. Charming I tell you.
Here’s where I come into the picture. I’m a girls’ girl. And usually I end up getting along with most of them, except for a few psychos, but we can leave those stories for a different post 😉
It’s so hard for me to let go sometimes. I end up forming strong bonds with these women, we become close and before you know it we’re practically BFFs. When I finally pat myself on the back for ensuring my best man found the perfect girl, he decides to move on to the next one. The worst part, he expects me to drop them as fast as he did.
I try to reason with him, but he says my loyalty should lie with him and only him. Yes my friends, the average Lebanese man is VERY territorial even when he isn’t your boyfriend. So I told him I’m not gonna stop hanging out with her and he felt betrayed. I’m putting my foot down, I am no longer gonna meet any of his girls until he is 100% sure she’s a keeper. He thinks I’m being irrational. I think I’m minimizing drama. What do you think?

Guys use their lady friends all the time to pick up girls he may just be using you Ivy
Hungry Man says
I disagree with you this time if your female best friend left a guy would you still also want 2 be friends with him?

totally minimizing drama… he needs to relax
Jane says
Give that best friend of yours a wild kick into my goal… Could use one like that

i think that when your best friend will be ready for a “keeper”, the “keeper” will be you 🙂
payle says
shou khas the keeper will be u, how stupid. u can have a guy who is a very gd friend w mech daroure ykoun u. now it is irrational that u stop being friends with his xgfs just bcz he dumped them or the other way around! manna wled hon. mech eza 7ada tkhena2 ma3 7ada, lkel be batel yehke ma3o u dont have to take sides. if his xgfs are friends material for u w manon still friends with u to know things abt him, then they are ur friends now. we r not 5, he shouldnt expect u not to talk to them anymore just cz he doesnt. we r mature i suppose, u r still his friend but have other friends as well, whether he likes ur other friends, whomever they are, even if they r his xs, it’s not his business – akid as long as they r not still friends with u to talk abt him :p
