LTR mentioning another guy in conversation really a branch swinging warning?

Can be a Shit Test, a sign of branch swinging or just nothing because girls are girls.

I‘d definitely up the dread, when an LTR starts talking about other guys and reduce attention.

I think it is to some degree. My ex chased me for almost two years. She was in relationship, when it ended. She said me she was just waiting for him to make a move so she can leave.

She hit me up same day they broke up.

Women tend to reveal themselves in this way. She's talking about them because she's thinking about them, which is about a few steps away from "and then oops it just happened - I fell on his dick!" - so it's still on the other guy to fuck up at this point. They vet with an approval seeking nature, talk about whatever is on their mind with whomever is around, and put themselves in proximity of guys they want to fuck.

Edit: Thanks for my first piece of reddit metal anonymous

Whether she swings or not cannot be known.

What is known is that she sees him as someone within her reach, and she perceives his SMV as high enough to pique her interest.

Mentioning him is to confirm her perception by gauging your reaction. If you're jealous and mate guard, she knows she's found someone better. If you're not, at least you know it won't matter because she's going to leave if she wants to anyway.

I think it depends on how she's bringing him up. Is it a co worker, is she saying negative things about him ?

My girlfriend comes home at the very least once a week talking about her boss, but she's always calling him a faggot or a creep. I've met the guy and he definitely gives off homo vibes.

I would just pay attention to how often she brings the guy up and if she's constantly talking positive about him. If she is then it would make me feel like maybe she has a crush on this dude, and I would definitely look out for them spending any time alone together. That is where I would personally draw the line.

Girl I lived with in a shared house. Her ex asked would ask about a guy I knew she was gearing to branch off to. It's foreshadowing. Damn actually my ex gf. She'd mention the name of the dude she's actually with now when we dated lol. It was an African name so I remember. Just thought about it while typing this. Lol gaddamn

Women rarely waste mental real estate on men they don’t want to fuck.

IF she's talking about a guy a lot, chances are she's thinking about him a lot. Girls don't think and talk about guys they're not attracted to in some way.

Unless they're showing outright disgust, there is a big chance the guy has her hamster spinning.

I've seen this before. Women have a problem with their filter when talking.

I was fucking a girl who had a boyfriend and though I told her not to talk about me, she told me she did talk about me in conversation to her friends and her boyfriend. Later she broke up with her BF and tried to branch swing to me and I said no.

I say shit like that to people so they think they can't lie to me.

If a woman likes you they will talk about you for sure with other people, especially true if someone else tells you this. If she was shitting on you then obviously he wouldn’t bring it up

My ex basically chased me for 6+ months while she was with her ex until we got together. I went on a date with her while they were supposedly broken up and said fuck that because I noticed she had a lazy eye, and whenever he came to visit her at work(we worked together) he'd get pissed whenever I was there. She probably told him about the guy she worked with plus he saw how she looked at me.

Also while we were together she mentioned a lot of dudes from school, kept on going on about this guy who was so funny and was able to conversate with anyone blah blah.

hedden93 · 2019-08-01T06:51:36+00:00

Depends on what she's saying about him. If she says anything like,

"Bill is so funny. He is like the funniest person ever."

Or

"Bill is really cool and fashionable. I think you'd really like him."

Then it's about over son
