I’m 21, female, and last weekend, I headed to a low-key house party at my friend’s place. It wasn’t a big deal—just a relaxed night with drinks, good tunes, and a chance to catch up with some folks I hadn’t seen in a while. I decided to wear this new black dress I’d just picked up.
It was short, snug, and honestly, I felt amazing in it. I don’t usually go all out with my outfits, so slipping into something that made me feel cute and confident was a nice change. No agenda, no showing off—just me enjoying how I looked for once.
The night started off fine, all chill vibes, but pretty soon I clocked something weird. My friend’s boyfriend wouldn’t stop staring. Like, every time I grabbed a drink or shifted spots, his eyes were glued to me. It wasn’t subtle—others noticed too. At one point, he muttered to a guy nearby, “Didn’t know this was that kind of party,” loud enough for me to catch it. I brushed it off with an awkward laugh and steered clear of him after that, but it left a bad taste.
Then, the next day, bam—a long text from my friend hits my phone. She’s upset, saying my dress made her uncomfortable, that it was disrespectful to wear something so “out there” around her boyfriend. She accused me of fishing for attention, like I should’ve known it’d stir trouble. I fired back, keeping it real: I didn’t flirt, didn’t act shady—her guy’s wandering eyes weren’t on me to control. I told her I actually felt creeped out by his staring, but she didn’t seem to hear that part. She’s stuck on me owing her an apology for crossing some line I didn’t even see.
Now I’m scratching my head. A few mutual friends chimed in—some think I should’ve played it safe with jeans or something, others say she’s overreacting, maybe jealous or deflecting. I’m torn. Was I the jerk here?
