Hmm, your friend either has a strange sense of humor......OR......these little "tricks" of his ALSO reflect an underlying need for attention that could possible stem from insecurity.

Perhaps your friend jokingly told his girlfriend that the relationship was over...........because he secretly wanted to her her say "Noooooo.......Nahin..........please don't leave me. I love you so much.......I can't live without you. You mean the world to me. Don't ever say this to me again or I'll die. I'll never find such a charming and handsome guy like you. Don't leave me." And by reacting in such a manner.........the girl would have "boosted" your friend's ego. And he would secretly think to himself........."Wow, I am such a stud, this girl is crazy about me."......while trying to hide his flattered smile and attempting to calm her down.

^^^ And then it probably shocked your friend when she didn't react as he secretly hoped she would. OR.......I could be totally wrong here and your friend never had such twisted intentions............and simply has a bad sense of humor.

In this case, I suggest your friend contemplate on his sense of humor before giving the "constipated elephant" some imodium.
