Could use some direction on this one!

Ok after my bout with the guy in the band and after recognizing it for what it was, my friend Shawna came to me with a problem similar to mine but not. Because we never got this far into the "game" or EA. I have tried to tell Shawna that this guy is trying to find out what she is like in bed, but she insists that it's just all playful banter. Here is the conversation as posted below:

Her: Hangovers suck, sorry my other friends didn't show up at the bar, but they went to the wrong one.

Him: Sorry about your hangover. Well things happen, everyone had a blast, you did too by the looks of it.

Her: Did my kissing you on the neck bother you? If so I apologize.

Him: No it didn't bother me at all, you seemed to really enjoy yourself. Good Drinks!

Her: I was hammered, but that's what happens when you have drinks before you arrive at the bar. My ass is sore because (her husband's best friends name here) grabbed my ass. I have a bruise!

Him: Hah! Well at least you have something to remember him by, he was really drunk too and feeling good. Besides you like it rough!

Her: How would you know if I like it rough?!

Him: I have a sense about these things. Do you deny it?

Her: No I don't. Do you like it rough? LOL

Him: It has it's place. I prefer slow easy exploration. I guess it depends on the mood.

Her: I prefer passionate sensual interludes instead of rough actions, but if I'm really into them and I'm very turned on I like to be ravished.

Him: Sounds about right. Do you like to put on a show for your lover?

Her: Yes I do. I like to have extended amounts of foreplay. I like to build the excitement as to heighten arousal and climax. Do you like a show?

Him: I like to receive a show, but I'm not an entertainer in that way. I like to use words to create anticipation and spark desire.

Her: Oh now there is something we have in common. I think articulate sensual wording can lead to a lot of passionate lovemaking.

Him: Yes. I like to say what I'm going to do and how it is going to drive them wild.

Does this look like playful banter to anyone else? I have tried to tell her that what it looks like to me is that he is trying to find out what she likes in bed and what she is like in bed, but my friend is not hearing it. I need some advice on how to break through to her. She has a great marriage with a very successful guy and two beautiful children. They have been married for 20 years and it would be a shame to see it all get torn away because of this. I intend on showing her this message board for guidance, because you guys sure helped me out. Thankyou.

She's playing with fire. It's crossed a line. Believe me, I know. She's asking for trouble. She should either stop or get a divorce. She's displaying behavior of a single woman not a married one.

I agree with you

She seems to think he is just being a friend to her and out of my own experience I have told her no, this goes way beyond what happened with me. I have told that he is not just being friendly, he is being way more than just friendly. To me it looks as though he is trying to find out what she likes in bed and how she is in bed.

Unless he is gay, talk like that from a man means only one thing. I expect your friend knows that, too but enjoys the attention too much to admit that to herself.

Sounds like a lot of stupid flirting to me. Nothing to get het up about, it happens all the time with no real motivation.

This absolutely goes beyond innocent flirting. Your friend is in denial. I agree that your friend knows this.

Sami, if you were married you wouldn't be having a conversation like that with another man and think it would be appropriate, would you?

Well it's not 'innocent' at all. Its really quite tacky in lots of ways.

For myself. No, I wouldn't have this exact conversation whether I was married or seriously involved with anyone. The reason being that throughout the conversation it seemed to me that the woman was prompting the man:

Her: "Did my kissing you on the neck bother you?" (pant pant?)
Her: "Do you like it rough?"

LOL. Ahem. Most men invited into a conversation like that are going to go along with it. What he actually thinks of the woman initiating it will differ. Also HER reasons for such flirtation could be numerous. Anything from harmless fun to full on FCK me now material.

It's just a conversation, with many interpretations.

On one hand you're saying it's not innocent and then on the other it's "just" a conversation...no. Grown, married people do NOT have these kinds of conversations with the opposite sex innocently. She knows EXACTLY what she's doing or else she's extremely naive.

Wait a second hold up

Did any of you even notice that he said to her first

You like it rough anyway!

To which she did respond and then she asked him if he liked it rough. She isn't to solely blame here. So lets not get started on the blame game. I think this guy isn't just harmless flirting with her. He wants to clearly sleep with her.

No, it's not innocent. Yes, it's just a conversation. No, it's not everyday, but in actual fact, either of them could be talking about it with much hilarity to their spouses later in the day. What matters is intent, and desire to carry anything out.

You can't go judging anything on a conversation taken out of context.

Well yes I noticed that he said it first. But this sort of thing is 'banter'. Whether someone attaches importance to words said is not known to outside parties unless one of those people involved cares to fill the audience in.

I would be the first to say don't blame anyone on the 'evidence' presented here. It's JUST a conversation. Who knows what anyone was thinking..? Only the people involved.

What are you trying to say about your friend or this man..?

I think they want to sleep together. I think it's been a long time coming too. You would have to know other things that have went on. Such as him asking her if she wanted to come home with him. Him touching her on the hips. Him clinging to her when she hugs him. He enjoys this ****. Let's not forget her kissing him on the neck and if he truly didn't want anything with her or if he was all that moral he would have pushed her away and told her that her behavior is unacceptable. Though he didn't. He let her do whatever she wanted and I think he relishes in it.

So why is she telling you all this..? And what do you think and why are you bothered by it..? Just questions to find out more, I don't mean anything particular by them.

Because she feels she can confide in me without it getting back to anyone else. We all know what it's like to carry a secret inside of us that we just want to talk about, well this is no exception here. I have tried to tell her that this may seem like friendly banter to her and he may try and snow her in with "I'm moral and we're just going to be friends" but if a guy knows a girl is married and he carries on conversations like that with her then one needs to question just how moral he is and what he is looking for.

Or maybe he's wondering just how moral she is? Isn't he the single one in all this? It won't be him who's lying to his spouse if anything actually happens...

Is she looking to you for opinions on HIS behaviour, or hers..?
