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.
