Our new Assistant Producer, Alex, has been having a little bit of a problem. Her best friend has been a little too touchy feely with her boyfriend and it’s starting to get a little uncomfortable! What does she do? Does she confront her boyfriend or confront her friend? Maybe she makes her boyfriend tell her friend to lay off? This is a tough one. Whatever she does she might ruffle some feathers and hurt some feelings. Has this ever happened to you? If Brian, Peter and Lois from Family Guy can get through this can Alex, her boyfriend and What did you do? Help our Alex!


I hate to state the obvious but do you think she listens to the show? If she doesn’t know by now I’m sure someone has told her by now that does! Alex or the boyfriend won’t have to say a thing now!
If you say anything to anyone it should be your friend. Just make sure that the “too touchy feely” isn’t just in your head. You never want to be that over reacting jealous type.
If she is really your friend you should be able to talk to her about it…and then laugh it off. My two closest friends are dating and she offers me her bf all the time when we go out (for dancing or whatever). There should be a level of trust between girlfriends and if you don’t have that then I would question the friendship!
That is the problem with people today. Every one is afraid to touch some one else and when you see some one do it you think the worst. Let’s go back about 50 years when touching another person was the thing to do and that is how you showed your friendship. I worked retail sales for 17 years and I would, some times, touch the customers arm or shoulder and it was at that point I knew that I had the sale because I went from a salesman to a friend. It has been 6 months since I have worked the sales floor due to problems with my knees but I hear customers still look for me and are disappointed to find that I left, all because I gave them the personal touch.
