"hey, let's grab dinner and catch a movie just the two of us, leave your husband out of it" "okay, sounds fun" these aren't things that happen, and it's not a gay vs straight thing, no matter how badly certain users here want to make it one They are definitely things that happen. Maybe not in your social group, but they definitely do happen. For example I had a girlfriend in the past who would get sushi with one of my friends, because she loved sushi and I dont like it. Sometimes they would go with a group but sometimes it would be just them. Either way I wouldnt have any interest in going because sushi isnt my jam. Thats a perfectly reasonable thing to happen. I cant say I make a habit of hanging out one-on-one with my friends significant others currently but I certainly wouldnt avoid it if there was a natural opportunity that came up. And that friend who I mentioned took my former girlfriend out for sushi? Im great friends with his current partner. They live in a different state currently but I would definitely hang out with her one-on-one if that situation ever came up. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ <cite>MrToothHasYou posted [p:964073768] in C/D: aside...

Lost_All_Senses 04/06/22 2:41:02 PM #36:	Im not currently friends with a lot of people. But I had been friends with women my whole upbringing and was raised by women. So, I can easily take sex out of it. Even if Im attracted to them, I can not react to it and enjoy what a friendship comes with. I always get along with friends/families girlfriends and obviously not consider sex being an option. They usually like me too, which is probably because I'm not coming onto them and immediately treat them like a friend, instead of be awkward about it. --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:964073938] in C/D: aside...

kinetika_ 04/06/22 2:53:35 PM #37:	Someone always caught feelings, be it them or me, so I don't really have any now. In my circle of friends, I'm cool with many of the women... but I don't take our interactions outside of group settings. There was a bi girl I use to hang out with one-on-one years ago, but over time she started to get really hands-on with me (i.e. hugs, closeness, crying in front of me and wanting me to hold her) and her GF eventually stopped letting her hang out with me. After her, I haven't hung out with a woman as "friends", alone. It's not about seeing them as sex objects, because I'll talk to any girl about whatever, like I do with men, but I don't want to get myself into a situation as I've done in the past lol. --- PSN: PurifyNothing <cite>kinetika_ posted [p:964074235] in C/D: aside...
