Topic	How can i befriend my gamer ex-coworker (i have crippling social anxiety)
Bibimbap 01/27/23 3:50:11 PM #31:	TeaMilk posted... 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 It's how I'd think if a girl I'm attracted to asked me to hang out, and I didn't know she had a boyfriend. I wouldn't automatically assume that it's going to lead to anything sexual, but I would think she's at least interested. Why not just invite him to come hang out with you and your boyfriend. At least that way there's no confusion, and he knows from the outset that you're taken. Otherwise, you're kind of leading him on whether intentionally or not. He could misconstrue your intentions. Even if you think you're not leading him on and not flirting with him, he might interpret it that way. And yes, obviously I'm assuming he's not gay. If he's gay, then none of this is an issue. --- https://i.imgur.com/th57NXy.jpg <cite>Bibimbap posted [p:971137808] in How can i ...
