why would a guy that you're just friends with get mad if you ask about a friend of his? I had just gotten hired at a new store. I found out from my guy friend that another one of his friends got hired at the same company. I asked him what department he got hired in, and if he knew that I was working there as well. Then my friend got angry and said "why do you want to know"? It almost sounded like he was jealous.
Is this a normal reaction? Or does it sound like he's possesive of me, considering that we are just friends.

Your question doesn't say whether you're interested in either of the guys, or why you asked about the second guy. However, that's hardly relevant-the point is that the first guy has no right to be jealous of you. If you were, just possibly, contemplating him as a boyfriend(ie if you rather hoped that he was jealous)be warned. Possesiveness, while it may be flattering, is a most undesirable quality in a partner.
However, to keep the peace if you're interested in the second guy I would keep it to yourself, and find out about him from some other source.
Good luck. [ lucretia's advice column | Ask lucretia A Question ]

I think you should still talk to him, just not too much about work. I mean, there's not much you can do, really. Quit? Um, no. So that's what I would do. And, in your actions, show that you're still there and that you want to be friends.
Good Luck ♥

I`ve dealt with guys like this alot of times, && we ended up going out..Weirrrddd. Anyways, you might just want to flirt with him a little bit[if you want]. The reason he said "why do you want to know?" is his way of trying to find out if your into his friend. Totally guy expressions. [ KiSSxMYxPEARLS's advice column | Ask KiSSxMYxPEARLS A Question ]
