"Perhaps you and your friend can institute Flirt Dates: outings with the specific goal of helping each other meet romantic prospects. The agreement would be that non-designated days are dedicated to just the two of you. This does not guarantee, Miss Manners realizes, that your friend will abstain from extracurricular activity, but at least you will have put him on notice that A. his external flirting is distracting and takes away from your time together;"
"I am female, and I have a male friend who likes to flirt with other women when we go out for dinner or other occasions. Seeing as we're just friends, I don't think I have any justification for asking him to cool it. On the other hand, I feel like he uses me in a way and disrespects me by constantly turning his attention toward any other woman in the room rather than me, his friend, whose company he is in."
"I am a 42-year-old woman who has been working hard to get healthier for myself and for my son. We have gone to the gym together multiple times a week and are modifying our diet. I am happy to say the work has paid off: I have dropped clothing sizes, and people have started noticing. I have had quite a few Wow, you have lost weight comments from co-workers, and have started to get comments,"
A woman reports a male friend who flirts with other women during outings and asks her to approach women, which she finds disrespectful because he neglects her while they spend time together. Establish 'Flirt Dates' dedicated to seeking romantic prospects, and designate other outings as times for just the two of them. Such an arrangement signals that his external flirting distracts, that she does not have romantic interest, and that she might appreciate reciprocal help finding dates. Another woman reports losing weight through diet and exercise, receiving frequent "Wow, you have lost weight" remarks and suspicions about drug use, and feeling uncertain how to respond.
