    -or him ignoring your texts for days lol...

    List it ladies, what would make you jealous of seeing other man doing

    Physiology project? Really? Really?
    Can't make head nor tail of these strings of incoherent ramblings. Sorry.

    Abandon your pysiology studies and join an English class first - if you don't know how to write the question (and ask the right question) in any research project then the answers you get may be worthless.

    You have come across as completely unprofessional so eveyone has treated this thread as a bit of a joke - great if all you want to do is idle some time away... not so great if you are seriously seeking opinion.

    So... if you need our input, how about being clear on what you need to know.

    To be fair, I think the OP meant 'psychology'. I also think he added that just as a bit of a light-hearted opener. I doubt very much that this has anything to do with a bona-fide project - physiology, psychology, or otherwise.

    Bit of a weird question tbh. I have plenty of close male friends but don't have 'crushes' on them. If I did and they were really 'close' friends then surely you would be able to tell them how you felt anyway?

    I wouldn't be jealous about my friend having 'other' friends, that's fairly ridiculous and if they didn't bother answering texts then I would either ask them if something was wrong or if it persistantly happened then they wouldn't be particularly good friends and we would probably end up drifting apart anyway.

    Flirting with other women and not responding to texts/emails etc. That would be enough for me to go off them pretty damned quick.

    Also if they put 'xxxxx's' at the end of a text/email etc to another woman.

    Also, if you dont hear from them for weeks on end... well they cant be that bothered with your friendship can they?

    I agree, weird question.

    To answer the question that (I think) is being made...

    I wouldn't get jealous. Jealousy's not about what someone is doing, or not doing. It's about your own insecurities. If I fancied someone, I wouldn't sit there getting 'jealous' about his friends or whether he texts or not. I'd just tell him, or drop some serious hints, and see where it went from there.

    If he's not interested, move on! No need to torture yourself with jealous thoughts and obsessing over what someone's up to.

    and if they are interested but nothing will come of it. Then there aint no point really is there?

    what a !!!!
    The opposite of what you know...is also true
  • Just in case this is legit ... the only things that would make me jealous when it comes to male friends are the same as female friends e.g. cancelling plans to be with someone else, not inviting me out etc.
    I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be
