hey can someone tell me if i overreacted? I (23F) was with a friends with benefits (25M) out getting lunch at a restaurant. this girl comes up to our table and asks if we are a couple. i say no and she proceeds to ask him if she can get his number. immediately i was like wtf and say even if we are not dating that’s just rude to come up and ask when we’re together right now. and she’s telling me oh i’m sorry i thought it was okay because you aren’t a couple. the girl leaves and the guy said i was overreacting because we’re just friends with benefits and not actually dating. what are your thoughts?

  1. Depends if you guys were in an open relationship, if not, then you didn’t overreact imo

  3. Well, as you said yourself he is only your friend with benefits. You’re not together with him.

  5. How do you want to have your cake and eat it too 💀sounds like you’re lying to yourself about what you want tbh

  9. You weren’t wrong she was a social moron but she wasn’t actually wrong either. Her timing could have been better but you can’t correct an error that is already done. Your correct response to the question should have been “We are currently together socially” and not answer the dating question.

    As to your not boyfriend… Benefit him no longer!

  11. I don’t think it’s rude as a fact. It could be viewed as bold and courageous for example. I think mostly it depends on the recipient. Some people would take it better or worse than some. Personally, i’m kind of tired of people being offended for things not that important. Perhaps, it was more important for you than you think.

  12. Unless your engaged to him, he’s fair game.
