Girlfriend Crushing on NBA Player Cooper Flagg? Red Flags
The Original Post
My girlfriend is a huge fan of this certain basketball player. His name is Cooper Flagg. She became a fan of this guy in college and started following his career into the NBA. She admitted to me she finds him handsome but claims that’s not the main reason she’s a fan, apparently actually likes his basketball skills and drawn to him because he’s originally from Maine like her. Apparently “New Englanders always back their own”.
I think she’s actually crushing on him. Outside of watching his games. She follows him on instagram and twitter. Likes most of his posts. Always looks up his highlights on youtube. Talks about him constantly. She denies crushing on him though.
Last month, she ran into Cooper and got a photo taken with him. When she was explaining it all, she was acting weird. Like she didn’t want to talk about it. Giving me vibes that she was hiding something.
In the photo he has his arms around her. And it wasn’t just a normal around the shoulder thing. His arm was around her lower hip. Idk to me that’s inappropriate. Why is his arms that low? And why is she okay with it?
Maybe I’m overthinking things a bit, but I immediately started questioning everything she has told me about how she became a fan. I think she actually knew him for real before he was in the NBA.
Also in the photo, she claims it was the grocery store but that background looks like a hotel lobby.
She says I’m paranoid and jealous for nothing but my gut is telling me I’m not.
And fuck Cooper Flagg.
