    Hi,
    I am a average good looking women in my late thirties married with kids (school going).I have my friend(guy) neighbour when i was small had played together.Even he is alos married and having kids.He is in my socila networking site.Whenever i post few pics many a times he comments that "after long time i am looking sooo cute/lovely ","loved you today",kind off comments also he sends me flower posters along with that.
    while chatting we chat about family kids and all. very normal talks.
    Whther a guy sending such kind of commnets are these days NORMAL or i am just over reacting to it.

    If a girl makes such comments towards her lady friends it's considered perfectly ok..in case of guys I don't know..:)

    It could be completely harmless. Having known someone since childhood does allow one certain liberties that you wouldn't normally approve of. Personally, I would find it very odd, but then I don't have any childhood guy friends. If it's a one off thing, take it in your stride. Don't make any particular acknowledgement of it. Your silence will convey how you feel. If he's sensible he'll take a step back.

    Hi Op,

    The fact that you are questioning his comments and asking for opinions here itself tells me you are not comfortable with it.

    I wouldnt say your friend's behavior is normal or common as I have grown up with a lot of guys friends and still keep in touch with them. Be it on whatsapp or social networking sites, in private or in public it is important to to not cross lines with the opposite gender.

    If i were you I would limit my private conversations with him and not respond to his compliments. He might be good at heart but sending roses, saying 'love you today', going over board with compliments especially on a public forum can be misconstrued by others.

    It gets very awkward when a male friend makes such comments on photos of a married woman..neutral comments like "nice pic ", "looking good" etc maybe ok..but anything more than that maybe misunderstood by other people on your friends list looking at the pic..it gives way to unnecessary gossip...you wouldn't want such a situation where your husband thinks you are flirting with your friend.
    If he sends you rose on what's app just reply with a question mark and ask what it's for? See what he replies..
    I have a suggestion..whenever you post a pic why don't you edit your privacy settings on Facebook so the pic is not visible to him?next to the photo itself you have the privacy setting where you edit the audience who can view the pic..I suggest that you create a group with whom you feel comfortable sharing pics and exclude him from it..then make the pic visible only to that group. Problem solved.
