WWUD?

Once in a while someone in my real life or some reader suggests topics. I figure today’s as good a day as any to pose a question. What. Would. You. Do.

Back Story: Nicole has been friends with Richard for about five years. He’s dated/screwed a few women she knows. However, Nicole and Richard have never dated. Recently, Nicole noticed that Richard is making passes at her and trying to spend alone time with her. A movie here, a meal there, a visit maybe. Each time he asks she says no. At first, she didn’t think much of it. Afterall, Richard and her are friends and have had a history of shooting the shyt. But as time went on, he started doing this more. She started to wonder why. Has he ever behaved this way?? Yes. Every single time she has a boyfriend.

Not only does Richard try to spend alone time with Nicole when he knows she has a boyfriend, he also simultaneously tries to befriend her boyfriends. The current boyfriend has met richard numourous times. He followed the first meeting by asking Nicole if her and Richard had ever fooled around because Richard looks at Nicole like he has.

Nicole has been successful in keepingher interactions with Richard few and far between. But when they do see each other, it’s a lingering hug or a hand that falls beloww her waist at the end of the hug. In their last meeting, richard asked about Nicole’s boyfriend. When she said he was fine, Richard pressed and asked how were things between the two of them.

Nicole hasn’t told her boyfriend about what Richard is doing. She knows the boyfriend already suspects something has gone on between her and Richard. But Richard is getting more aggressive as time goes on.

Question: What would you do? Keep in mind that Richard only behaves this way when Nicole has a boyfriend. I think you know my thoughts but ‘Nicole’ wasn’t satisfied with my opinion and would appreciate some thoughts from people not named Kajuana. *teeth suck*eyeroll*neck roll*
