Have you ever "shared" your girlfirend?
...or, your boyfriend, your wife or your husband? (and before you take it the wrong way...), to help another person. Last weekend my housemate shared his girlfriend with me by "us three" cooking a complete turkey dinner together. It made a huge difference to me...we laughed, listened to lots of music, and finally sat down, raised our glasses, and ate...making fun of each other, taking turns "siding" with each other...and then, each going our own ways. Have you ever shared your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse with a "single" person--not because of sympathy, but out of love?
No, but it's a great idea, especially over the holidays. I'm a single person, myself, and count myself lucky to have some single relatives, especially my sister, to share holiday time with. Otherwise it makes for a very lonely and somewhat depressing time of year for us single folk.
I wouldn't call having a single friend over dinner and conversation sharing one's mate so much as having an evening with a friend.
Generally speaking when two people become a couple each person strives to be friendly towards their mate's friends and family. I would not find what you experienced as being too much out of the ordinary.
Having said that there are some folks who don't trust their friends around their mates.
When you say share your girl, then its a shallow relationship betwen the both of you and she just another girl you are dating . I think if you are in true love you can't do this ..
For the other guy obviously its interesting as this is what men fantasize about.

This time of year is difficult for most everyone, especially singles, and "oh joy, I just had my heart broken, too!" What are some ways to avoid feeling lonely during the holiday season? Especially when it seems like everyone is going in couples to stores all around?

I have been talking to a lovely women online for a few weeks, nothing too racey, until recently. I E-mailed a pic of myself and now the conversations have gotten a little steamy. I am single...she is not, how far can you go when you are "online" before it becomes cheating?

Is it hard for a single person to date someone with kids?
by Om Prakash Singh 16 years ago
Everyone has someone in mind whom he/she wants to meet desperately. For some it will be long lost friend, while for some it may be a forgotten love. Some may want to meet someone to clear any misunderstanding while some may want to meet his/her biggest foe to settle an old account!For me it is a...
