Wendy, 35, Lawrence, Kan. Immediately explain to him that he stands to lose an important body part if he keeps it up. Then I would distance myself from him for the remainder of the party, and watch my girl friend to see if she really, really likes this guy. I can't say I'd tell on him because you know how people in love can be, but if she just kind of digs him and is still trying to decide if he's decent, he's toast. |

Eric, 26, Orlando, Fla. Playful but harmless flirtation is always good with a friend's date. It makes your date want to give you more attention and can make for interesting fireworks as a possible night-cap (I'm talking about fireworks in the bedroom, or back seat of a car, whichever works best). |

Josh,
25, North Wales, Pa. It depends on how long they have been dating. If they just met, I might show some interest but wouldn't act on anything that night. |

Kathryn,
34, Northville, Mich. Tell him to get the heck away from me (and then tell her what a creep he is!). |

Tim,
41, Springtown, Texas Unfortunately this occurs frequently and this is a big no-no in my book of dating. A person who is unable to restrain their emotions for another person during a previously committed date reflects a personality that will probably resurface in the future on other occasions. I respectfully thank them for the attention and ask them to move on. |

Sylvia,
37, Kingsville, Texas Is his friend cute? Just kidding. In all seriousness, I've had the awkward experience before and I simply told him I was going to pretend the situation didn't happen and I would appreciate it if he did the same. I didn't tell my date because his friend had been drinking. However, if it had happened again, I would've had no choice but to tell my date. |

Brocke,
54, Lakeland, Mo. That's never happened to me. If it did, though, I just remember "you leave with the one who brought you to the dance!" |

Michael,
37, Lockport, N.Y. Nothing. It's a warning that if she did that behind a friend's back, that she probably would do it to me as well. |

Monica, 27, Orlando, Fla. This has actually happened to me. This guy was hitting on my best friend for a while and then the same night he gets me alone and asks me if I wanted to hook up with him. My friend had told me she really liked him so I told him no and that she was my best friend and that I would never do that to her. I never told her about that. They never really went out anyway. He was married. Go figure! |

Alexander, 31, Washington, D.C. Politely ignore it and politely rebuff it. |
