Boys trying to hit on my girlfriend? :/

Typical straight male behavior, sadly. Not much we can do to change it. Guys are always going to think that lesbians and bisexuals don't "really" exist and we only like women to turn guys on but not as a serious thing. Wish I could slap them for you.

 

I don't think you can move it. But to mods: The thread belongs under Family, Friends, and Relationships, I think.

It sucks that boys try to ask your girlfriend out.
Do you usually display affection publicly? I'm not saying you should if you aren't... just that people might back away more then.
Also, are you openly a couple in general?
You could try to think of some kind of strategy if boys hit on you gf..

Hope that helps.

 

Sadly you can't change them but you can change your point of view on the whole situation. What about trying to see it more as a prove how attractive your girlfriend actually is and feel great about it? You could also buy one of those "taken" rings or bracelets and when someone asks her out or hit on her just be assertive and show if off as a sign she's "yours" and unavailable.

 

I hear ya. To be honest, I might not be too much help when it comes to what to do. In my relationship, my partner's the one who's usually hit on (by girls and guys, funnily enough).

If guys start to get too pushy with you and your girlfriend, be firm. You're in a relationship. It's one thing to gently or jokingly hit on one half of a relationship (like a lot of people do with my partner and as long as they're not pushy, I don't mind). It's another thing altogether for these boneheads to basically ignore the fact and act like she's still available.

If they ask her to prom or out on a date, she or you can say something along the lines of "Sorry, but I'm going with her". It's important to stand your ground.

 

Ugh. Annoying straight boys :bang:

If that was my girlfriend I would be so annoyed!! They won't take you seriously because you are her GIRLfriend, not her BOYfriend, therefore threat is not registered, nor relationship acknowledged (sorry :icon_sad: I am in a crappy mood :rolle

I can't really think of anything you could do unfortunately if you've already explained your relationship to them. It's on their part to be more respectful and grow up. Even if you get angry, they're probably not likely to listen. I would just try to focus on the relationship so that it didn't at least effect that, and try to ignore it or deal with it separately. Do you have the relationship displayed publicly, like on Facebook or something? Just keep on giving them the hint, they probably won't go away completely but some of them might start to realize or give up and go to another girl. Also, if you and you're girlfriend are/are able to go to prom together maybe you can just keep repeating that to them. I think the idea Paris had about "taken" rings or bracelets might be a good one too?

I'm sorry you have this problem :eusa_doh: I hope they stop or you can find an effective way to stop them being so disrespectful towards you, your girlfriend, and your relationship.
