Answer :

Why should you worry – can’t you be social without “balance”? This seems to be a peculiarly feminine trait – balancing sexes in social situations. I have never know a guy to worry about it. If her guy responds to you – hits on you – then you have done her a favour. Shown her the light. Just be yourself.
