Just how powerful is jealousy?

[Cassidy]

I'm conducting a little experiment, but I'm a bit impatient, having to wait until later this week to find out the results. So I'm here wondering if any of my fellow DJ-people can predict the results of my experiment...

Alright, the background information. This girl, whom I know likes me (after having been informed of this by her behaviour and both reliable and unreliable sources) came out with me and a couple of my friends last week.

My band of friends consisted of my best friend, my lovely female workmate and a couple of my female friends from college.

Now, the issue is that my workmate and I get on like a house on fire, so we're always flirting with each other and the like, so whenever the girl who likes me decided she was going to shower me with attention and suddenly withdraw it, I went to talk to my workmate.

I could see this got the girl who likes me a slight bit unsettled, but it'll be a while before I see her to see how she'll treat me.

The question is, how do you guys think she'll behave towards me next time I see her?

I'll update you all when I find out for myself.

I bid you farewell. Shiver me timbers.

Jealousy only works if the girl is interested in you to begin with. People don't get jealous over things they don't want.

Your games may be blowing chances with this girl! How do u know this is jealousy? Is that your mission? What is your goal?
You know she likes you, so ask her out already and quit playing girly games

At the same time, people often mistake jealousy for interest or love for the other. Don't be a fool. Jealousy is, and always has been, about yourself-YOUR fears and YOUR insecurities. Nothing else.

I concur. You may THINK a girl acting jealous over another girl is a show of interest.. THINK NOT.. go watch "Elimidate" most of the girls are just to "win" they don't really give a shat about the guy. I like to be with a girl that is confident just like how they want guys that are confident. Jealousy is not attractive and should not be a guage/tool to control a relationship.

unfortunately i must add a sad truth to this healthy mix of "jealousy is not the way" insight.

the truth is, there are so many out there who don't and won't realize how much they like you, until it hits them over the head- ususally in the form of jealousy.

kind of a version of "don't know what you got til its gone". but more like, don't know what you want until faced with the fear of it being taken away.

hmmmm?

Iqqi, that is almost exactly what I wanted to say.
