The wandering eye test

We all know it. You are in the middle of talking to your boyfriend, friend, husband, girlfriend.. then all of a sudden a girl wearing less clothing than you walks by. What once may have been staring you directly in the eyes has now been diverted to this subject of interruption. Somehow we have been brainwashed into thinking that this is completely acceptable, because it's just what guys do. Really? Is that really a valid excuse? It starts with a stare, then it leads to all other sorts of wandering. If a boy is with me, talking to me, in my presence, then he should be paying attention to me, not the random girl walking by.

He used to always do this to me. We would be talking and I would notice I have temporarily lost his eye contact and it is now directed towards whatever girl is walking by (half the time they weren't even THAT hot), and it would be for a very noticeable 2-3 seconds... staring. I just convinced myself not to be high maintenance and to just accept it. Sometimes I would even say "oh she's pretty eh?". WHAT WAS I THINKING? This is not okay. Maybe after years and years of dating, when you are finally trusting each other, but at the start? THIS IS NOT OKAY.

So let it be a lesson to you, boys, if you are on a date with me and your eyes are starring at someone else, you will not be getting a date number two.

Am I overreacting? Am I becoming a high maintenance b with an itch? Comment, thoughts!

I don't think you're over reacting or being a bitch, but I don't think its fair to say that just guys do that kind of thing. Girls can be distracted by the opposite sex in the same way.
Aside from all that - if he's easily distracted by another girl... maybe he's telling you he's not that interested in the first place....

Ya, I'd say you are overreacting quite a bit. The idea that a guy should be that focused on you seems unrealistic.

I'd say you're often the girl that GETS the wandering eye, hot stuff! ; )

picard - I definitely don't expect a guy to solely focus on me (that would be a bit much, i like a bit of mind games), but if its the first few dates, and they are focusing on another girl for a LONG noticeable time, especially when I am in the middle of speaking, it's an asshole move.
