Do you feel a pang of jealousy every time she heads out with her long-time guy friend? Next time she heads out with her long-time friend, relax. Keep in mind these tips to have a pretty good idea of what kind of man you should be watching out for and what kind of guy is harmless to your relationship.
There’s no single hard-and-fast rule, but there are certain guys you should be wary of, and certain guys you generally needn't stress over.
1: The ex:
The ex is someone who has had a long, intimate history with your woman. It’s easier to be intimate with someone you’ve already been with, so do keep an eye out. 2: The long-time friend: They’ve been friends forever and they know each other inside out. While the long-time friend may have a history with your woman, it has never been an intimate relationship. So unless you have specific evidence that there is a romantic interest, you probably have nothing to worry about.
3: The new friend: He met your woman in an art or dance class. Or maybe they go jogging together. He’s the guy who only recently came into her life and they're spending an awful lot of time together. Make a mental note of his body language: Is he touchy-feely with her? Does he flirt generally? If they only recently met and are spending lots of time together (without you!), chances are he is going for the goal. Be on guard. 4: The co-worker: They eat lunch and take their breaks together. They also seem to have a good rapport. Instead of being jealous of all male coworkers, just note if she seems to be spending all her time with one coworker in particular, talking to and about him – only then will you have a valid reason to be suspicious.
