Hands off in the case of:
1. Marriage
2. Engagement
3. Friend actively dating
Otherwise proceed. Sorry, but you can't blame your friend.
Oh - Mom - Hi! All's fine here. I'll call you. All my love.
Hands off in the case of:
Those go without saying (or should), as they almost never end well. My protocol is rather more specific, but whatever works for you.
Hey, in that linked thread, the prequel to the earnest conversation of yesterday!

I now regret suggesting "o-earnest". I should have suggested "earnest-o".
"oarnest" sounds like a cross between "earnest" and "ornery", like a crotchety old Jimmy Stewart.
apostropher,
My list was mostly a "you can't fault a guy for pursuing" list. My personal list was a little more restrictive.
What is interesting to me is when I suggest young male A might be introduced to young female B my female acquantances always say "But B has a boyfriend."
I then ask the acquantance if they had a boyfriend when they first met or romantically considered their husband.
The answer is always "yes." The truth is females always have boyfriends (okay, 90% of the time).

My list was mostly a "you can't fault a guy for pursuing" list.

All my love,
Dad
Ah, that makes sense. I'd add nuns.
It's okay to pursue Nuns. Just don't get into the habit.
Thank you, thank you.
I'd like to thank my Catholic cousin David who told me that joke the summer of '69. It has been thirty-six years but I knew it would come in handy some day.
An interesting fact--some religious women I know don't think "friend actively dating" is a hands-off.
