If you spring the "Oh, I have a boyfriend" on him later, that would be more weird, IMO. He'd probably also wonder why you're hitting him up to hang out without your boyfriend around. I would think maybe you're fighting with your boyfriend or something. I've been in these kinds of situations, and they're always confusing as the man in the situation lol. Unless he's not attracted to you at all or is just one of those guys who doesn't mind being friends with girls, he might lose interest in hanging out when he finds out you have a boyfriend. Every guy is different obviously. is this really how most people think? That if a girl* wants to play video games with a guy its sexually motivated? It almost feels presumptuous to just bring up I'm in a relationship. Like "teehee btw I have a boyfriend, don't flirt with me silly boys ;)" If it comes up naturally, then sure I'm not gonna pretend I'm not in a relationship or anything. But I think people should have friendships outside of dating and I would like that. Also gay people are out there NoxObscuras posted... I'd just frame it as a request. Something like "Do you mind if my boyfriend comes with us for lunch? I think you'd get along with him too." I just can't shake the feeling that this is fucking weird lol. Im not trying to hide anything but id feel weird if a new friend brought some random guy probably? Itd be totally different if it was a group get together with other people (I really should have gone to that farewell lunch) Either way I'm nowhere close to doing an irl hang out so I won't worry about it for now Ruvan22 posted... CE being mostly male is going to affect the effectiveness of advice, even though everyone is trying to be helpful... how a female seeks a friend (that happens to be a male) is better answered by females that have gone through the unique dynamics. So Crimsoness advice :p JK Yeah but a lot of you guys are also 30 yr old whiteboy gamers who watch rick and morty so I thought this was the perfect place to ask --- (they/them) \| http://large.horse/ Show Icons on posts: https://openuserjs.org/scripts/melon/GameFAQs_Show_Icon <cite>TeaMilk posted [p:971137060] in How can i ...
