Poking on facebook


Question Posted Monday November 21 2011, 9:08 pm

So I've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year and a half, and lately he's been poking other girls over Facebook. He knows that this upsets me, but he continues to do it anyways saying "it's no big deal, it's just poking". I see poking as a way of him flirting and giving other girls attention, am I crazy? Or is it wrong for him to be poking other girls? Especially when he knows it upsets me

Where I come from, "poking" (not to be confused with "porking") means doing a chick. The guy is either on his way to checking out of the relationship or he is insecure about how attractive he is and wants more female attention to bolster his ego. He is totally disrespecting you and, to be frank, that you allow him to walk all over your feelings like that makes you look needy and kinda doormat-like. Tell him to take a hike.

Are you serious?


You are getting upset and offended over poking on facebook? If something this small makes you insecure and jealous clearly you shouldn't be in a relationship period. Get over it

You deserve someone who would respect your opinion. Im sure if a guy told you what he didnt want you to do, you will respect him and not do it right? so he should respect you too. You are right, it is flirting! he should focus all his attention to YOU and not anyone else, make YOU feel special and others just regular friends... im sure he would hate it if you poked and gave other boys attention! right? So tell him, you are not pleased and would not accept this crap. He is right, its "just poking" in fb but if you give in to this attitude NOW what else can he be doing next time? "just texting" "just dating" "just sleeping with...?" see? ground rules NOW or NOTHING! good luck!! you deserve better!!!
