ORIGINAL: MHOO314 I am missing the point here---first of all in order for Him to be able to text message, she must have given Him her number---that to Me is a sign of encouragement---and when has No stopped being an option? Your "friend" needs to deal with life as life is--don't encourage if you don't want and if you make a mistake---own up and deal. Not quite. Telling someone they can touch your breasts isn't the same as telling someone they can call you a whore. Giving someone your phone number doesn't mean they get a free pass to inappropriate behavior just because it's on the phone. I think he took a fairly safe risk, but unfortunately, she took it badly and considered it inappropriate. Nothing wrong with that at all. Her job then is to maturely and easily mention it "Hey, we're not there yet, I don't like messages like that." His job is then to accept it maturely and decide whether he still wants to be with her. Acceptable responses are exclusively "OK I understand, we'll take it slower." or "OK I understand, but I'm not interested anymore." But I don't think you can say something to the effect of "you encouraged him by wearing that slutty dress, so you deserves the looks and leers and name calling." Wearing a slutty dress does not excuse the behaviors of others.
