Most of the people who are in my inner circle of friends are in a relationship. I think there are only 3 of us who aren't in one. Anyway, my friends have introduced their boyfriends to all of us and we talk sometimes. I don't usually strike up a conversation with just any guy but when I do talk, I talk a lot. A few days ago, I was at a friend's boyfriend's thanksgiving party, and I shared a table with another friend and her boyfriend. When she was busy talking with the other people, her boyfriend and I struck up a conversation. We enjoyed talking about how to express one's emotions without being so dramatic about it when we heard my friend, who is his girlfriend say that she has been out of place already. I saw them laugh but I couldn't help thinking if she actually got jealous since this wouldn't be the first time that happened to me. I am single, they say I am good-looking, I am a good catch and etc. But still, we're friends. I would never steal their guys, at all. Have you been in this situation? If so, what did you do?

Maybe, she is really jealous of you because your are a very good looking lady and who ever she is, your are right about it.
She is your friend and you won't steal her guy. Maybe she was thinking much about it. If she really is your friend then she must have joined your conversations without hurt feelings. With know offense with your friend, she is thinking immaturely and being pessimistic.
Anyway, I haven't been in a situation like yours, If I'm in your girl friend's shoes, I would understand and trust you Lynly, that you are my very good friend and you know that you're talking to is my boyfriend.There is nothing wrong with that, I would rather be glad that my boyfriend is having some bonding time with my friends too.I must be open minded sometime in this situation as long as we know our limits and where friendship grows maturely.

then try to avoid those guys,
specially you are a good catch!
and you know it for a fact!
so just distant yourself from
them.. aside form guys can easily
fall to a woman who's a good catch,
and since they are your friends they
knew you that you wont steal guys but
just to be safe...

Wow, you are a good catch.
I had experience this before but not with my immediate friends. I did not know that he was a friend's boyfriend. We just got along talking and he called me several times a week. Suddenly this 'friend' called me accusing me of meeting him behind her back. I told her I did talk to him but I never really met him outside of office hours. My company was using his company services at the time. Whew! I would never steal a friend's boyfriend, too. Unless it is an emergency.

In my opinion, it is normal for them to be jealous. It does seem a bit ridiculous to be jealous over such thing, but I see where they are coming from. As Tyra Banks says, when you're around a friend's man, you gotta tone it down! Even if you were just having a conversation, maybe you should have tried to bring your friends into it a little more so they wouldn't feel left out. I understand how you must feel like it's naive for them to become jealous over something so small, but when you're a young female, those things can get to you a lot! Best of luck.

i dont like talking much to people esp. if their boyfriends or girlfriends are around. it would provoke feelings of jealousy. i would feel vexated if im around and my boyfriend enjoys conversing to another person.
i dont like the idea of stealing my friends' bfs as much as ive always dreaded traitors. just like you im single and a good catch but i have respect for my friends.
