I’m baaaaack!

Okay, I’m back. No more fires. No more moving. And just when I thought my dating life was beginning to fizzle, along came drama.

So, readers what does it mean when a man takes me out on dates—real dates—at least I think they’re dates… but introduces me as his “friend� to his friends?

Where is the line drawn that makes two people more than friends? Does it get past the “friends� stage a little more after each time he continues to ask me out?

Scenario: I’ve been casually seeing G for about a month. We’ve had fun. No sparks flying wild into the night, but it’s been fun. So last week after dinner we go out to a bar to hang out with some of his friends. We dance to big-hair-band 80s music and it’s a good time. I was being my sarcastic and brutal self to one of his friends, S—who was giving it right back, and then asked for my number.

In this situation, what is a girl to do? I don’t know if I’ll be spending much time with this group in the future. It’s kind of a double edged sword. If I don’t give him my number, he’ll write me off as a bitch or a tease or… ? If I do give him my number, that creates complications with G, who takes me out on dates, but introduces me as his “friend.â€? Feelin’ a little stuck

What the hell is a “friend� who gives away free dinners and drinks anyway? Just a nice guy? I doubt it.

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
