While out with friends for lunch, unexpectedly one of them sees your significant other out with a member of the opposite sex sitting a little "too close" for comfort, do you approach and make a scene, or casually stroll over and make your presence known, or say nothing until you are in a more private setting?

  1. I would definitely not mention my friends name or make a scene but I would strooooolllllll on over and say hello. Just to see how my friend's significant other reacted to my presence. I'll process whatever vibe I got from them and use that in how I present the news to my friend. There's a big difference between "Girl I saw your boo at lunch today." and "Girrrrrrrrrrrrrl guess who I saw at lunch all snuggled up today!"

  2. I would let my presence be known with a casual "Hello, how are you"? or "It's nice to see you". Then I would glance at her and introduce myself then look back to him, smile and tell him I will let so-and-so know I saw you today. Not giving him any time to reply, walk away and rejoin my friends for lunch. After I'm done I would just let her know I saw him at lunch with someone unfamaliar.

  3. Ok we all know good and well what it looks like when two people are getting their creep on. But at the same time if you are bold enough to be seen out in public together and you are not a couple then yes you are asking to get busted! As for me no I would not cause a scene. Although I would casually go over and say hello in other words yes I do see you. Quickly turn my attention to the other person introduce myself then say, "and your name is?" So when you do see or talk to your friend you have a name to go with the face.

  4. @lreyes and @kendall lol! You all are going to have that man going out of his mind! Wondering if his woman knows he went out to eat with another female. Men, if you go out to lunch with another woman and it is purely plutonic, tell your girl first just out of respect. You can avoid a whole lot of doubt and questioning. If it's harmless, no harm will come to you. Ladies, if you go out to lunch with a man, whether it's plutonic or NOT, tell your man! It's called hiding in plain sight and he'll be too oblivious to realize!!! lol!! j/k j/k

  5. First let me start out by saying the dynamics that make up a relationship is sometimes mind blowing to say the least. Matters of the heart will probably continue to always leave most of us with jaw dropping effects. In a lot of instances, what you see is not always what you get. Before you risk losing a long time friend over revealing their significant other may be "creeping, " as my fellow blogger mentioned, know your facts. I prefer the company of the male persuasion therefore it is not uncommon for me to be out with a man. Please handle with care because exposing someone as a potential cheater could cause irreversible effects. In a lot of relationships I don't care what the truth is, each person already has an idea of what he or she would deem factual. If I am led to inform my friend I would simply say I saw so and so at lunch today and that would be the extent of it and I'm sure if the story is to be told, it will be. Much love fellow bloggers.
