Can someone understand this?

Well basically im male and one of my flat mates (female), well we get on really well together and have a laugh, we are just good friends but we have had our moments. Anyways, when it comes to her approaching her period, she is like a different person. She basically ignores me, wont talk to me or anything and any little sarcy coment i make to her as a joke, she makes a big deal out of it only in this time of month but when it comes to my other flat mates, shes perfectly normal with them and will talk to them - what is all this about?

lol It's probably because she feels close enough to you that she can be moody but remain your friend. With others she probably makes a lot more of a effort to hide how rotten she feels. -Take it as a compliment!

Yeah I agree with poppy. At least she feels close enough to you to show you she feels crap. Are your other flatmates male or female?

Next time get her one of those microwave oat bags. They do wonders for period pain. :wink:

if this is directed at me, it's becauasse i'm great. :smile:
She's more than likely got a bit of PMT from what I understand. She probably is behaving 'normally' (not the best of words, but how the PMT would make her behave) around you if you are close and forcing her behaviour around others as she doesn't want them to know.
Thud

Sorry, you are great indeed, but I meant how does he knows when she's on her period

It sounds like PMT to me, I get it really badly and often behave pretty awfully towards my poor bf in the week approaching my period, for some reason I just feel really depressed and moody and irritable. As others have said, you should definitely take it as a compliment that she feels she can behave like that around you! Just try and be nice to her :smile:

someone here needs to step down, and it aint you.
Like PinkpinkUK said, are your flatmates all female, do the others make jokes, if not this may be the case. It's a proven fact some females act differently when they have their period/the menopuse etc, males can act differantely at certain times, as well, so im not seen to be sexist.

Yeah, took the words from my mouth.

But how you know shes on her period, I doubt she'll have a sign saying 'Time of the month, dont piss me off' on her forehead.

Well i know she is because she was saying im going to be on my period soon because she was having stomach pains and its always at this time of month as well - its not the first.

My flat mates are mainly male and one female. However, im trying not to speak to her now as she is now spending alot more time with this other male she met, but she says to me and my flat mates that he keeps texting me and when he came round that other day, she said to me she wont leave but yesterday when she came back from work, she went straight to his place, came back today at 9 in the morning with him and has just been in her room with him ever since.

I really like her though and have told her this but she doesnt take it seriously. On monday we had a really good time and tuesday until it approached night time which i made sarcy comment to her (normally she laughs at these jokes) but this time she went straight to her room, ignored me and has not talked to me ever since but has just spent time with this guy which she was saying to me before i want to get him out of my room. I dont understand - what should i do?

Thats confusing mate.. As usual, girls are like that. Dont think too much about it. U really cant satisfy girls.. :frown: my experience

Just don't make jokes/be mean (even if it is joking) when she's on.

Problem solved :smile:
She probably likes you so much that she doesn't wanna bite you head off. I get terrible PMT and would likely try to kill anyone who crossed my path and i often just locked myself in my room for the safety of others.
^^ me too. I feel so miserable at that time that I often think the best solution is just to keep out of people's way.

shabz ur missing something else im sure of it..something she done or said to ya. Girls usually leave hints but they are subtle so sometimes too subtle!

What sort of hint - in a positve way or negative? She has said alot of things in the time ive got to know her but still dont understand her at times.
