Met a girl a couple weeks ago, we work together but not on the same job - we kinda bounce off each other. When we're together we get along great, the people around us see us as a "duo" of some sort, we spend our lunches and breaks together, she'll make excuses to come over to see me and vice versa, we've been to work social events together (like we meet up early and go as a pair sort of something) and she's totally comfortable in my personal space, like if we're in a meeting sitting together and i'm leaning towards her, she'll notice and lean back towards me, or if I go to her desk to help her I'm lean over her keyboard so take over and she won't budge. She makes physical contact, usually playfully, and we tease each other/make each other laugh a lot. I admit all of this could just be a good friendship forming, but my gut instinct tells me we like each other. The only thing that makes me question if she likes me or not, is that it's hard to get texts out of her while we're not at work. At work, we send instant messages or texts back and forth all day, but during the weekend or evening, she keeps it polite but doesn't make much effort to chat over text - however the reason for this (if i'm being hopeful) is below. Show She has a boyfriend, but told me that they're in a weird position, since only their close friends and family know they're together. They have a couple years worth of history but they've only been an "item" again for a few months. Now here's the thing - she only mentions this guy to tell me how much of a dick he's being. She's portraying him to be a control freak, and while I understand that you only see 1 side of the story if you don't know the other person, I've seen their text conversations, and she's not wrong. He tries to stop her going out if she wants to go out (even if it's a work thing), gets mad if he loses his "best friend" status with her on Snapchat, and goes crazy if she makes plans without consulting him first - and when I say gets mad, I mean spamming her phone with CAPS LOCK messages about how mad he is. A couple days ago he was mad about something and she told me she had to go see him on her lunch break instead of spending it with me, so that she could "see if it was fixable" because he's on his "last straw". It's also probably worth mentioning that when she talks about his questionable behavior, it's never in a venty/complainy way, it's always in a way that makes fun of what he's doing. Is this a bad case of wishful thinking, or is it possible that she's on the rocks in her current relationship and potentially looking for a new one, possibly with me? My friends tell me that if a girl mentions her boyfriend it means she's kindly telling you to back off, but what does it mean if the only time she mentions him is to undermine him or to make jokes about his behaviour?

What does complaining do to a relationship?Complaining can have a negative impact on our friendships and work connections as well. “Over time, we can pull away from each other,” says Tickner. “No longer do we find the other person safe, or inviting, so we begin to find ways to avoid contact.”
How do you respond when a girl tells you her problems?You can give advice, propose solutions, or help her figure out a battle plan. But do so only after you've listened to her or when she asks for your opinion and support.. Paraphrase. Repeat back to her what she said. ... . Ask questions. ... . Focus on emotions. ... . Relate to her.. What do you say when someone complains about their spouse?Rather than giving them solutions to the issue, ask questions that might help them solve the problems on their own. This can help stop a steady stream of complaining and focus the conversation on more positive possibilities. You can ask, "Why do you think your wife's behavior makes you feel this way?"
Is it normal to complain about your girlfriend?Complaining on and off is completely normal because there are definitely some things you will not like about your partner or your relationship. However, it becomes a problem in a relationship when you find yourself complaining all the time.
