QFT. if she's not meant to be, its not meant to be. If she wanted to cheat, giving her a "curfew" isnt going to help this situation, she is only going to laugh at you.

Well no matter what you all say, she's going to dinner with an OLD guy friend. I'd be worried too. Yeah I'd trust my girlfriend, but no way in hell do I trust the guy. Every man here knows he's prolly trying to get in her pants :)

How long have you 2 been together and do you live with each other? If its only been a couple months so what let her go. But if its been like 2 years and you are talking about getting married, then she needs to stay out of that mess.


But then the old man is a little confused right now from the sidekick post or at least he was now he is not or so he thinks.

Cerfew? Grow up. She should dump your control freak @ss. I can't imagine this relationship heading anywhere but straight into the dumpster with an attitude like your's. The sooner she dumps you the better for her.

Here we go with this..."Let my girl" crap. You guys who think like this suck:|

By the way OP, keep acting like this and I guarantee you will sabotage the relationship all by yourself

You're an asshat. Let her do what she pleases... at this rate you're forcing her away from you by being overbearing. You're like most women are...

If she thinks this guy's intentions - after seeking her out at work and asking her out to dinner - are purely platonic, she's either highly naive or looking for some strange.

Her getting mad is a good indication. If you two had any semblance of a open, trusting, and respectful relationship A. she would've understood your motive B. you both would've talked it out in length beforehand and maybe settled on a cerfew (or none) together.

Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean that freedom and independence is gone. The minute you try to revoke that from someone, male or female, they're going to walk. I personally don't put up with that kind of nonsense. And if you keep it up, neither will she.

Careful you don't step in the bullshit OP. Apparently we have the world's most secure, confident, and jealousy-free group of individuals posting in a techie off-topic forum.

No, we have a group that understands that it is her choice whether to go or not. The OP's only choice is in how he chooses to conduct himself. If he doesn't understand this, he doesn't need to be in a relationship with anyone.

Its called a group of mature adults. Jealousy is normal and human nature. Acting like 8 year old about it will get you nowhere with females.

yes! its like preventing her from having guy friends. if you trust each other then everything should be ok. trust is the foundation of a relationship.

Sure, the guy has no reason to be worried when random college guys start coming to her job and asking her out..

:roll:

Tell me this, if he starts letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry she met in college come by his place and pick her up for dinner every night, where does that leave him? Where does he draw the line?

I'M NOT saying a curfew is the best solution here, but you guys act like he's a control freak that's out of his mind... he's a typical jealous and concerned young man in a relationship with a young woman who apparently is still popular with the guys. It's an issue.

She's in the wrong. She should have arranged dinner or whatever for you and her and this guy and his girlfriend. My wife wouldn't be happy with me if I was going out with old girlfriends.

If this guy is single... watch out.

And with that comment, you're not helping any.

Also, I'm going to mention something you probably don't want to hear OP, but there is a particular reason this guy would go to her place of work to ask her out.
