Much like girls get when they want to share a new experience that means a lot to them and they are very excited about.
It sounds like you may have unintentionally been a "bad friend" making the conversation about "your" needs rather than listening to him . . .
Cut him some slack. Just because he is really excited doesn't mean he loves you less, its just that he has "stars" in his eyes and needs to share. He'll eventually get over it.
You sound like that sonf from the girl that one the MTV music
award . . how does it go and what is it called? You make things so complicated?
Let me turn it around also and ask you: Why do girls seem to exist to pop male egos? Why won't you let us enjoy something without taking us down a peg?

Ummm... I know that he's excited. But he's been out there for a month, we've talked a few times, and that's ALL! Seriously ALL he's talked about. One line mentions this name, the next another.
I don't believe you have much of right to call me a bad friend. I didn't have "needs" to talk about. When did i mention that? When you have a conversation with someone, both people are usually involved in it. There wasn't anythign to listen to... he met hugh hefner. great. a playmate shoved his head in her chest. double great. That's not a conversation.
Every time i talk to him that's ALL he talks about. I'm not quite sure what i'm making complicated here.
Who the hell am I taking down a peg? And like librasoul said (thanks girl!) what the hell does this have to be turned into a guy-girl thing? When did i ever mention a battle of the sexes?
I was asking how i could be a good friend and make sure that my friend doesn't go crazy like a lot of people do out there.

Sometimes egos need popped. Who can stand someone who talks about themselves constantly? Modesty has its virtues.
And on the same token, why can't you let me start a thread without taking me down a peg?
Called me a bad friend, saying that we're trying to pop male egos. A bit hypocritical to that question.
