"It’s better to ask questions up front and know what’s going on than not ask and get hurt."

Youth Radio's Logan Barnes shares some advice about relationships, and says you better make sure your friends won't try to hit on your significant other. Logan talks to his friends honestly about this possibility, and asks them questions like, "Are you going to look at my girlfriend? Do you think she’s pretty?" This way, he can avoid the drama of having his friends holler at his girl. (December 31 on KCBS)
Putting friends and relationships together can become a problem, and if you want to keep your friends and maintain romantic relationships, here’s a couple of things you should know.
First thing is, if you don’t trust your friend, ask him or her a couple questions before you introduce them to your girlfriend or boyfriend.
Are you going to look at my girlfriend? Do you think she’s pretty? It’s better to ask questions up front and know what’s going on than not ask and get hurt.
But if you know you can’t trust your friends, it’s a good idea to set some ground rules. A good rule would be - don’t look at my girlfriend in any way that you know I won’t like. Another good one is, don’t try to holler at her while I’m not around. Actually, don’t holler at her ever.
I had to learn these rules the hard way. And I think I’ve finally figured out what my problem is — I go out with girls that are just too good-looking. Now I’m trying to focus more on a girl’s personality rather than looks. Because it’s a lot better to have a fun girl who you can laugh with than a boring beautiful one that your friends might try and take away.
