Well, last night we decided to go out to the local bar with my mother, aunt, and uncle. It was karaoke night. I was sitting between my aunt and mom, and my boyfriend was between my mom and uncle. Well, needless to say, when a few guys came in, one of them was attracted to me, and didn't realize I was there with my boyfriend, since I wasn't even sitting next to him! Well, he tried to get me to sing a song, and I said no, than next thing you know he was up there singing "Brown Eyed Girl" to me, which was sweet, because I really do have brown eyes! After that, some music came on, and he was singing along to "Sweet Cherry Pie", and he was singing that to me too, lol.
My boyfriend looked like he was getting a little annoyed, but he's not usually the jealous type, and wasn't going to say anything to the guy. Well, I asked him if he was alright, and he said this to me.
"Yes, he is annoying me, but not enough to beat the guy up. I know that when we leave here, your going home with me, so I'm not that worried."
Well, I could understand that, so I wasn't worried either. When it was time to leave, the guy wanted a hug, but I just shook my head and said sorry. He asked me if I was there with 'that guy' (which happened to be my boyfriend), and I said yes. He was like, 'oh, okay', and looked a little sad.
I felt bad for the guy, because he was a cutie, but I love my boyfriend and nothing is going to come between us.

Thats good to have a guy that would be annoyed with the situation but would not do anything about it. I know my fiance would of done a little more than that. As you can see you were flirting with this guy as well. And infront of your boyfriend is not cool. I see it happen so many times and then the fights break out. Shame on you for that part. I don't know why you would feel bad for the guy and using "because he was a cutie" is not good enough. Your with your boyfriend and shouldn't be flirting like that infront of him.

Flirting never hurt anyone. My boyfriend flirts with people all the time, and I am aware of it. He knows that I flirt as well. That doesn't bother us really, because we know that we love eachother and we're not going to let a little flirting end our relationship. He said he wasn't bothered by any of the flirting from that guy, or even the 'little bit' of flirting that I did back, which was more like me being nice about 'rejecting him'. The reason I felt bad was because he was trying so hard to get my attention, and I just kept saying no. My boyfriend said that if he would have touched me, that would have been a different story, and he probably would have knocked him out.

No flirting never hurt anyone. But you are going about flirting the wrong way. "The reason I felt bad was because he was trying so hard to get my attention, and I just kept saying no." Maybe if you were upfront and said that you had a boyfriend and that he was there with you. You wouldn't of had to feel bad about the rejection at the end of the night. You lead him on and that is not cool.

i am a guy and can totally see where your boyfriend was coming from being a little jealous because as a guy you think that your suppose to be the one that is doing that for your girlfriend not another guy...and its just something about that that makes us jealous that another guy is doing that...but i mean i do agree with your boyfriend becaues you did go home with him...so as long as nothing happened then everything ended fine...

Sounds like a sweet guy! He'll make the right woman a very good soulmate.
It was nice that neither your boyfriend nor this new guy chose to behave in a childish caveman manner. Instead, your boyfriend knew that he was the one who would be taking you hope, and the other guy respected the fact that you and your boyfriend were a couple and didn't turn into a stalker type.
Of course, I know of one case where being a stalker type paid off.
This is a sweet story about this young woman who was a teacher and this young man had a crush on her. I don't remember now if he were still in college or if he had a job somewhere.
I think that he was studying to become a lawyer.
Anyway, he happened to notice this woman and decided that he was the one for her--if he could just convince her of the same.
Of course, she didn't have anyone steady. She just wasn't really interested in him at the time--not consciously, anyway.
He started making it a point to show up wherever she was.
If she went to the library to use it for a quiet place to grade papers, he would set up to study in close proximity of her.
On those occasions when she had a date, he would go to some of the same places.
He didn't crowd in on her dates, but it would be like, when he saw her in line with some guy to buy movie tickets, he would get in line to buy his own ticket and sit a few seats away.
If they went to a restaurant, that's where he would eat, too--a table or booth away!
She was intrigued with his persistence (this was before the time when this would be seen as stalking and she would put a restraining order out on him first and ask questions later), so she finally agreed to go out with him.
He showed her a good time and asked for a second date.
By then, she was starting to see him in a different light.
And did they marry?
Ever hear of President and Mrs. Richard Nixon!?!
Another sweet pick-up story came right from a couple in our church (Pete & Mary Esther--who were together until he was taken by leukemia and other complications when they were in their early eighties).
Mary Esther and one of her girlfriends decided to go to the skating rink one Friday night. They skated for awhile (with each other and other people, both male and female) until it got to the place where it was the last skate.
Since they weren't a couple of lesbians, they didn't have any interest in this last skate (a romantic waltz), so they started to head over to where they changed back into their street shoes.
About that time, this cute guy in a military uniform approached Mary Esther and said, "You can't leave yet!"
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because you haven't skated with me!" the guy answered.
Anyway, the rest is history!
I hope that this romantic guy at the bar will end up finding his own Pat or Mary Esther!
And, again, bravo to your boyfriend for being such a good sport. Shows you have a sweet and mature guy of your own!

If someone asks if I am with my husband, and I say that I am, I am not going to feel bad for the guy, no matter how good he looks. Sometimes people do go out with other people. LOL
I think it's really sweet that your boyfriend got up and sang to you.

It wasn't my boyfriend that sang to me, lol, it was the guy that was trying to get my attention. My boyfriend sings to me, all the time, but not in front of a lot of people. He's fairly shy, but I love him anyway.

what you did is right even he is cute but you love most your boy friend so no need to find another man in your life. sometimes we are attracted by someone even we have a gf/bf aside but it is understandable because we are normal and prone to admire people around us.

Aww that was a sweet thing of your boyfriend to say. My husband does the same thing. He is not worried one bit about me likeing other guys because he knows that I come home to him every night! Sounds like you have yourself a keeper here.

Yes, I completely agree with you! I've been waiting a long time now for him to ask me to marry him, but he says he won't do it until we're financially 'okay'. Oh well, I know he's not going anywhere, so I'll just have to wait.

That was sweet of the man, but you are standing by YOUR man and you will not let that other man get between you and your boyfriend because you love your boyfriend with all your heart.

Your boyfriend has a lot of patience and maturity. Most men would have become very jealous and offended. It is a good thing that your boyfriend was mature enough to remain calm about the situation. That was sweeter then the man that was singing to you.

That was so very sweet of that guy, and after all he did it because he thought you were not with ur boy friend, and that really was sweet. But i have to appreciate ur boyfriend for being so mature and understanding, and the strength of your relationship. I hope that guy finds some1 who would be luclky to have a romantic like him.

If that had happened to me, my hubby would have probably flattened him!! Luckily it has never happened to me and if it did I would die because I know it would just cause a whole heap of trouble, which would end up spoiling the night.
How sweet of your boyfriend though, he is a true gent and obviously very secure in his relationship with you, which is great.
