case #1 - (this event happened in the past...because right now i am very single) so i was dating this guy and we were almost exclusive. so all these random people came up to me - telling me how "cute" we were together. wait a second...who are you?
case #2 - i went on a date a few nights ago with a guy from my ward, somehow all his friends knew and came up to me to ask me how it went. seriously? like i would tell YOU how it went to you could just go tell him or make your own speculations on whether or not we are meant to be future "E.C.'s" (eternal companions).
case#3 - o.k... so this is a little more far stretched then the others...but still valid. i have a hot roommate and bestie. obviously...because these guys will come up to me and ask about her. i'm thinking, oh it's nice that this guy is being friendly to me...and as soon as he finds out she is either not single or not interested...he backs away and we never have another conversation again. if you are interested in one of my friends, grow a pair and get to know her yourself. (harsh i know).
ok, so maybe i'm just venting. but being friends...or dare i say it...facebook friends...does not entitle you to special rights or topics or conversations about someone's personal life. in my experience, only time and experiences can build that type of friendship.
someone should write a book on this stuff.
Ha! I love this post Rachel! It is so true. Some people have no sense of personal information or private information. But, I think you're case #1 is just people being nice... after all, YOU are just so cute, and people wanted to let you know that you and your boy looked good together. A weird compliment from strangers, I'll give you that, but still nice.
