Man wonders if his best friend is in love with him
I don't know if "Steve" is in love with you, but he is obviously sexually interested in you.
So yes, just as I become even more hilarious after a few cocktails, he is likely expressing an exaggerated, low-filter version of himself when he's drunk.
It is not necessarily your job to protect him from his drunken choices, but because issues of consent could arise, you are wise to put a stop to his advances, certainly when he is under the influence.
What you must do now is to talk about it. Granted, this might be a tough conversation to have, but you could start by asking him a simple question: "Why do you hit on me whenever you're drunk?"
Dear Amy: My mother and her husband of over 20 years have decided to have an open marriage. They even bought an apartment in order to have sexual encounters with others.
I have known my stepdad since I was 15; I am now 41.
I have a happy marriage and a family of my own. I grew up watching my mother date numerous men. There were times I would hear her engaged in sexual activity.
Now that I am an adult, I find the lifestyle she exposed me to was unhealthy. The "open marriage" decision is bringing up bad memories for me.
My mom does not have many friends and I can tell that she wants to share details of her new life with me.
I am not interested in hearing about or meeting any of the new men in her life. I don't want to go to the new apartment. I do not want my kids to know about her lifestyle.
