Do you buy the dating "just as friends" excuse? Guys, what do you think?
I’m a good girl – not easy but easygoing, can get along w. everyone and old fashioned in love. I’m going through this phase where i’m "jaded" right now (went through a situation a few months back) and am in no mood for guys right now. I’m not biter, I’ve moved on, i’m happy to be single & just want to take time for myself and it’ll be awhile ’til i become "close" and care for someone again. No relationships anytime soon.
My friend asked me to go on this date w. her co-worker. First off, "who is this? what’s his name? what’s he like?" I’m not a fan of "blind dating" and why would I go out w. someone I know nothing about. All she said was he was "nice". I’m sorry but "nice" isn’t going to cut it anymore b/c everyone is nice. I told her to jsut bring him to our get togethers and i’ll meet him there. I got there and this was this same guy, she tried to set me up w. a few months back. She knew he wasn’t my type and right away, I knew still wasn’t. He’s a cool guy but I wouldn’t date him. Now he’s texting me and I was cautious of that too b/c he seems more into me than I am of him and I don’t want to lead him on. He wants to take me to go to dinner "as friends" but we all know that that’s just an excuse to get closer until he gets what he wants…me lol And a guy won’t work that hard to be "friends" w. a girl. Now he’s all "bobby brown" on me w. texting (like raunchy) and it’s gross. My friend said he thinks "i’m hot" and tht I should go out w. him to get free dinner. NO WAY. I’d rather take MYSELF out to dinner and pay. I MAY BE SINGLE AND LONELY SOMETIMES BUT I’M NOT DESPERATE. Even guys scan out other girls REALLY well to see if she’s good enough for their friends, why can’t girls be the same? I know she means well but it’s an insult to me bc he’s not even my type and she keeps throwin the "friends" excuse and now i gotta deal w. this horny dude on my own. And it’s different between me and her b/c he WORKS w. her so of course, they’re gonna be friends.
Do you think I’m being a *****? What should I do and how do I handle this dude?
I told my friend straight up but she assures me he just wants to be "friends" and "he’s not like that" (my ***) I, however, don’t trust him b/c honestly, A GUY DOESN’T WORK THAT HARD TO BE "FRIENDS" W. A GIRL HE FINDS "BOMB", RIGHT?
he’s been texting since my friend gave him my #. If I text back right away all eager, he’ll take our "getting to know each other as friends" as "talking". So i’m being "real" w him right now. Not interested so not gona respond right away, i’ll do it later
