Never be possessive. If a female friend lets on that she is going out with
another man, be kind and understanding. If she says she would like to go
out with the Dallas Cowboys, including the coaching staff, the same rule
applies. Tell her: "Kath, you just go right ahead and do what you feel is
right." Unless you actually care for her, in which case you must see to it
that she has no male contact whatsoever.
