I think the two of you are completely fvcked. My honest opinion is that she either A. Likes this guy a lot B. Needs More C. All of the above

While I don't really think its up to you to say she can't go with this guy, I don't think she should be doing what she is doing...

You know how many times ive gone out witha girl i used to like, and my GF didnt care? like 15 times (parties together)

you know how many times she has gone out and watched a movie with guys she liked/used to like etc? many times

you know what our trust level is? Extremely high.

I'll tell you what she's doing right now.....

I hope the OP is just joking and trying to stir crap up around here, because if he isn't then he won't have a gf for much longer.

you aren't being protective, you're being controlling.

More importantly however, it sounds like you don't really trust this girl? Maybe shes a crazy flirt, or maybe shes cheated before, I dunno. Personally I don't think she should have gone to dinner, and I'll be damned if you find out later that she let him pay for the entire meal, BUT the curfew was a dumb thing to say. Try explaining to yourself how that was a good idea. Parents give curfews cause kids are too dumb to make smart choices, you basically told your girlfriend she was too dumb to handle herself, and that you didn't trust her. A relationship should be between equals, not a teacher and a student. If you have problems with something you should try to solve them together. Besides, it would suck if your girlfriend labeled you as a stereotypical jealous korean guy.

Thats probably one of the most retarded things I have ever heard. Asian women go out with white men because they want to be with white men... just like how asian males want to be with white females... but the latter case usually doesnt work well since majority of white females dont have an attraction to asian men.

i've had white girls have crush on me.. thx..


and to those who are just posting here to call me a "troll" and "has issues"
Sorry, im not a perfecting being like you and have issues.
and you are perhaps the biggest trolls here going around every thread u dont like or agree with and call them trolls..

and i DO trust my girl.. and we've been going out for 2 years and i do seriuosly consider marrying her in future... what i dont trust is the GUY.. if it was just a lunch.. i wouldn't have made such a fuss.. but dinner w/ some guy that i dont know bothers me... curfew may sound like a bullshit... and i know it is.. but i didnt want the guy taking my girl to wrong places late at night..

Won't read whole thread but...

1) Half the people here don't have a steady girlfriend (ever?)
2) Giving her a cerfew was a bit childish. If she took offense, talk to her later and tell her it was only because you care about her.

about trusting your girl. Part of that trust means trusting her judgement of other people. I don't trust over half the people on this planet, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't let my girl go outside. Trust her to do the right thing just in case you are right about this guy...

Why the hell is the girl seeing this guy again? Does the guy really care about his "friendship" with her? Somehow, I doubt that.

Just remember that majority of the guys would hit on a girl regardless of whether she has a b/f or not. Heck, many guys will even hit on married women.

EDIT: Next time there is an event, you should ask her if you could come. If she says no, I would be on alert.

I understanding what you are saying.. i trust how failthful she is.. but i DONT trust her judgements... She's a real slow and pretty naive person.. and she knows it too... she even went on a "tour" w/ a stranger guy in italy when she went there by herself for a marathon.. he ended trying to make a move on her and she ran away... she has real friendly personality that gives guys wrong ideas...

From that statement, you do not trust your girl. What set it off is that you said you don't trust the guy. What that means is you fear the guy is going to come on to her and she's going to give in which means you don't trust your girl?

I said it was ok at first, but today, right before when she went out at 6pm, I gave her a curfew by 9pm to get home since i figured that a dinner shouldn't take more than 2-3hours. She got mad. Am i being too protective? :(

You gave your girlfriend a curfew?

Yes, that is ****** creepy dude :eek:

catching up where?...are they just at the dinner table?...do they go to a cafe afterwards or bar?...is alcohol involved, are they drinking?

you been with your gf for some time now, you both should be able to communicate and get all this crap out in the open...ask her if she'd be ok if you did the same:

some girl you knew from back in the day asks you out to dinner to catch up, which ultimately ends up being a late night with you not being home by 9pm...

if your gf says she's ok with it, then test it out...

I think I'm in a similar situation. My gf met this guy at a party during the summer before we started dating. He's been keeping in contact with her thru AIM/phone ever since. He likes her and has been trying to convince her to go to lunch/dinner with him, even going thru their mutual friends to encourage her. He didn't know she already had a bf, so I couldn't really blame him. She agrees to lunch one day. She tells me all this and I'm disturbed by him. But I figure I should trust her and it's really not my place to tell her otherwise. So the day approaches and she mentions her "lunch date... oops, i mean day... lol" with him. I'm irked and tell her that I know it's not my place, but it still bothers me. She agrees to slip in "my boyfriend" in their conversation. Well, long story short, he continued asking to meet up with her after she says it.

I realize I'm clearly not as secure about my relationship as I thought. He, having mutual friends with her, is at an advantage and I fear he might say all the right things. I talk to her about it. In the end though, I realize I'm overreacting. She didn't have to tell me this and by putting any pressure on asking her not to see him would only work against me. If she sees him again, sure I'd be upset again. But I have to eventually learn to trust her completely.

In short, you overstep your boundaries. Apologize, tell her you were upset about it, but you'll try to deal with it. It's perfectly normal to feel jealous. But if you show her you trust her, she'll love you more for it.

i think that's disrespectful on your girlfriend's part...would she be just as understanding if the roles were reversed?...some girl has mutual friends with you, likes you, repeatedly asks you out and keeps in touch via aim/phone and mutual friends...then you agree to have a "lunch day" with her...highly unlikely that your gf would be ok with this...

don't be a doormat and get stepped on and don't be afraid to cause a ruckus about this...if you don't do anything it'll be a constant thorn in your side...
