When advice is NOT required!!!

I have a frind, who has spent the past 2 yrs trying to make an idiot of a girl try to fall in love with him. he did the sweetest things, sending her flowers to work( yes, flowers feature as the MOST romantic gesture in my books... ) writing awesomely soppy letters and dropping them off at her postbox outside her house, and basically being the all-round good guy that is just a figment of most girls imagination. Anyway, this chic didnt like him, she felt that she was

to get so seriously involved with someone (she is 23,and he is 25) ... so, after a good few months of mopping around and being depressed, he has found another girlfriend...

New problem: this new chic, saw him a few times, sent her friends over to get HIS number, and then SHE calledf HIM and they are now going out, and almost gonna be proposed (indian style) and engaged quite soon.

I met with him and his new PERSON in sandton city this weekend, where i got an intro. to her, and I have taken an instant dislike to this girl.. u know how sometimes u meet people, and before u can even have a converstaion you know they you will never be buddies? well, thats what happened.

Later, after i left them, he calls me( he had just dropped her off at home to change before they went out again) and asks "what do u think of her?" "Is she pretty?' etc, etc, etc...

what did he expect me to say? so, i told him that she seems nice... and he said ONLY NICE? and then i said she is quite pretty? and he said only Pretty? i mean HELLOOOO , this is your new Girlfriend, You cannot go around and ask your friends what they think about her! If i had to tell him... I think she is strange, unfriendly, not so pretty, and just after you for your money... what would he do? will he break -up with her just cos i said so? I certainly wouldn't want a person that may be interested in me, to go and ask all his female friends what they think of me!!! doesnt the first rule of a relationship state (somewhere) that the relationship is only the two people involved? Are guys so insecure, that they have to ask thier close friends if "they look nice together" before they can even consider moving forward in a relationship? sure, we ladies hang around with our friends and discuss situaitons that we are in, but when important stuff needs decisions to be made, we make our own...

well, i hate those type of questions.
that's one thing i don't ever ask my friends.
i prefer for them to say it themselves instead of pushing for compliments.

ag well, i hope your friend made istikharah first!

well, he's a big boy, i'm sure he'll get a clue eventually.

but... (gonna play devils advocate here)...if u really think about it - girls ask the same questions - and if they're asking the same questions that would mean women are just as insecure as guys...but if both parties act the same way - doesnt that mean its 'normal'?????
