When she lets you into her home
Posted : 26 Feb, 2010 11:13 PM

Is there some secret code among men that says being allowed into a woman's home means something big?

I try to be very careful about whom I allow into my home, because it seems whenever I let a single man enter, a problem begins.

Am I unwittingly giving them the green light by letting them come through the door?

Do guys secretly think it means "I want you!"?

It isn't always easy for me to leave, because I have children, so male friends have visited, or men from church, and co workers have to come help with household repairs.

After that, they act different. It somehow changes things, and I have even ended up having to be downright mean to get rid of some!

Should I just never let in any male who isn't my man???

This seems so silly, but I need to know what goes inside mens' minds on this.

and, remp, I have girlfriends who stop by at those times as well. If it is someone I don't know, he isn't setting foot inside, but if it is someone I have been around a while, its a little different....I still am careful, though. It seems no matter how much I send out the "not gonna happen, dude" signal, it seems to still happen

Now INVITING a guy in is entirely different. If I did that, it would be saying something.

Yeah, its the oldest trick in the book, I have seen ladies shamelessly play damsel in distress, asking a guy to come rescue her, just for an excuse to get him there.

I see how that can be misunderstood.

Southern gents are a dying breed, for sure!

I have learned to fix most things myself.

The crazies seem to fancy me!

Thanks for your advice!

I have a some friends that are married and I really do consider both of them to be my friends even though I've known the husband a lot longer...anyway, the other day while he was at work she invited me over to play a new baseball game on their game system. I said jokingly that I was too tired after work and that I just wanted to go home and rest. I know technically I lied to her but I didn't want to put myself in a situation where rumors or heaven forbid any kind of temptation to arise. I don't think that it would but I don't want there to be that chance, you know? I think as Christian men and women we have to be careful and demonstrate wisdom in situations like these... Later!~

Ohhhhhhh, good call, Strom! I wouldn't be going over there to play either! You are smart. And, yes, I don't want people thinking I'm EVER hitting on a man who is taken!

My business started as a housecleaning business (now I'm all commercial - except painting), and I was really picky about this: if the husband was home sick or was going to be there when I was cleaning, I rescheduled. I was never worried that the husband would try anything, but it's the principal - you're right when you say that's how rumors get started.



But on the flip side, if it was a single guy I was working for, I didn't worry about it. I didn't care if he was there or not and I still don't. To me it's a lot different if the guy isn't married, for obvious reasons. I've still never, ever had a problem with even the single ones making a "pass" or flirting, but then again I'm there to paint their living room, too. Lol



The few times that a married guy has come over from church to help me with something (fixing something around the house), either his wife is with him and I sit and chat with her, or I tell him I'll be working out in the yard if he needs anything. This way, if he does show up alone, I'm not alone with him - I'm clearly outside while he's inside doing what I needed help with. Maybe that might be an option for an uncomfortable situation?

i dont really think you can give most guys the benifit of the doubt. some you can some are men enough and Godly enough. but if you've been talkin to a man and doing something to where he thinks your flirtin with him then he's gonna think your interested in most cases i dont care what any man say thats what he thinks. i have a lot of guy friends, and thats how the majority of them think. now however for me if u ask me to repair something at your house ill think nothing of it. but there are guys who take that as you being interested by just inviting them over especially if their single. just a warning most single guys are gonna think your interested especially if your single. so maybe leave that to a professional, or invite a close friend and her husband from church over to fix somethin your safe either way.
