Spoiler alert about a minor scene in the new Jurassic movie:
Throughout the movie there are several scenes of two technicians, one man and one woman, seated by each other in front of
computer consoles. The two have obviously been working side by side for months, if not years. Towards the dramatic end of the movie, he goes to kiss her. She says "I have a boyfriend."
Didn't she have some responsibility to disclose that after working side by side for so long with the same guy? I know some women will say, "it's none of his business if she has a boyfriend". However, from the guy's point of view, if she doesn't mention him, it is like she is ashamed of her boyfriend or her silence says she is looking for something better to come along.
I mention this because the woman I have sat across at work (and whom I am not all interested) for over three years, has never mentioned a boyfriend (or a girlfriend). I feel like it is a common courtesy to disclosed , otherwise it is like we are near strangers.
Incidentally, from time to time, our attractive boss will mention her boyfriend by name. You can hear in her voice the love and pride she has in him.
