No coveting! So the Big Man says.

Wanting what doesn’t belong to you is one of those horrid feelings that creeps up and bites you in the envy bone when you least expect it.

We all do it, lets admit it, but it’s much easier to see in others.

My friend Rachel has got a fair old circle of mates, many of whom are guys. She’s been single for a couple of years, mainly because she’s hankered after a particular member of her group, James. Unfortunately he’s never really showed much romantic interest in her; they get on really well and spend a fair bit of time together, but he’s never displayed more than a passing glance at her goodies (the fool!)

Anyway, a few months ago Rachel met another guy at the gym and since then they’ve been dating steadily. Marvellous.

Recently she’s started to introduce her new chap to her friends, the good news is he’s fitting in well. Everyone likes him and his feet are slowly-but-surely slipping under the table. But, what I’ve spotted on recent occasions I’ve been out with them is that the guy Rachel originally hankered after, James, is suddenly paying her more and more attention. He’s buying her drinks, muscling his way to sit next to her and on many occasions I’ve caught him gazing at her from across the room – a sure sign that he fancies her.

Now I would have sworn that he would never, ever have gone after my Rach, so the only thing that’s changed is her new man. Out of no-where James is jealous! Hee hee.

A few months ago Rachel would have jumped at his every call, flattered his ego and generally made him feel great. The moron clearly didn’t realise what he’d got till it was gone!

Now I’ve told Rachel what I’ve spied and although she was initially excited she is sensible enough to see it for what it is – a passing jealously of another mans goods – and is sticking with the lovely new gym-bunny.

I know there are loads of women who avoid relationships because they have their eye on someone specific. I understand why you wouldn’t want to commit to anyone when your heart lays elsewhere but, as we can see, the simple act of showing that other people have interest in you could very well prompt our unrequited loves into opening their narrow little peepers and viewing us for the goddesses we really are.

The final bonus of this plan is that there isn’t a down side because even if the object of your desire doesn’t wake up, you’ll have somebody else around to show you the attention you really deserve! Brilliant.
