What would have done...

Hi,



Is the following sentence natural? Also, I am not sure if the second ‘were’ should be replaced with a ‘was’?



What would you have done if you were a girl and your boyfriend were asking you to do some unpleasant things, but you really liked the guy and didn't want to lose him?



Thanks,



MG.

Me neither! were is technically correct, but the subject matter itself is informal, so I'd be inclined to use was.
