Between friends... appropriate or not?

[Urbane]

You’re in the club/bar/lounge chillin’ with your friends. Somehow there's eye contact between you and his honey across the room. He comes over introduces himself and you’re like he’s fine.. you’re feeling him. Well, after a little convo.. (as much as you could have in that environment) you’re like he’s okay.. but you’re still flirting cause he’s fine as h*ll. At the same time and unbeknownst to you, your friend is checking him out as well and is starting to dig him too. Is it ever appropriate for her to slide dude her number although you’re still talking to him?

Does it make a difference if you have a man and your friend (who is very single) knows that the only thing that will happen between you and the guy is some harmless flirting… then is it okay?

No, I still don't think it makes a difference. First come, first served. Now, I will admit, if I was the single friend, I'd tell my selfish friend she can't have all the menses, lol. But I'd let her do her thang. Harmless flirting boosts the ego... we all need ego boosts from time to time.

I don't think it would be appropriate for her to give him her number right in front of you. However, maybe she could talk with you about him later to see if it might be OK. I'm speaking from experience. One of my good friends has a steady man, she's probably going to marry him. But she just meets these guys and develops these little crushes on them. (Maybe crush is not even the right word b/c she has no intention for a relationship, just harmless flirting). But I, and some of my other friends, am as single as they come. So if she meets a guy and wants to flirt and I, or another friend, think he's cute too we try to nip her flirt thing in the bud and just tell her another friend or I want to talk to him. We usually bring up the fact that she has a serious relationship and the rest of us are desperatly lonely and need a man and she's like OK. It's really not a big deal with us and no one has come to blows over it.
