AH! I think I have a girlfriend... "Power up reverse thrusters!"
I never thought anything of it until recently when she started using the term "we." And just now she asked me what kind of scotch I like so she could have some at the ready when I come over.
Dam. I don't want a girlfriend.
Evasive action is required. I'm a bad, bad human :-( .

24. Sometimes it's the prize that can't be won
that is the most desirable. The fact that you told her "No" from the get-go may be why she wants you so much :shrug:
Hmmmmmm. I told Mr. Debi "NO" 11 years ago.........:evilgrin:

21. If she says "We" in front of you again, imitate Jesus Quintana and say...
"What's this WE shit? What's this fucking WE bullshit? There's no WE to JEsus! You might fool the fucks who read your myspace page, but you don't fool me. Laughable! HAHAHAHAHA! Bush-league psych-out stuff"

See if that works.

5. Danger Will Robinson!!!
been there done that, caution.
Whatever you do, do not try the ol' "act like an ass and make her dump you" routine. It never works. Also, do not try anything in the bedroom that you think would make her freak out and dump you. It will only bite you in the ass.....literally and figuratively. If you do not like her that much, just break up the old fashioned way. It's hard at first but it will turn our best in the long run.
I speak from experience.

Edited on Mon May-07-07 03:21 PM by in search of sanity
I didn't hear you say anything bad about the young woman. Your only issue appears to be timing. Forget your plans or ideas on when you'll be ready. Be open to life. Life doesn't always follow our nice neat plans and when we look back, we're often happy about these unplanned things.

45. He should feel flattered, not frightened. The young woman is VERY likely expressing a level
of comfort, NOT trying to "trap" anyone. (I tend to look for the positive.)

34. friends use the term "we" too
and you're running away from free scotch?

If you've told her from the beginning that you don't want a girlfriend, then don't sweat it. It's not like she's giving you ultimatums or asking about the future or anything so enjoy yourself.

35. ever think she's trying to dump YOU.
She knows you don't want a girlfriend, and now her plan is to act all girlfriendy until you leave.

She may be smarter than you give her credit for. :)

39. WWGCD?
What would George Costanza do?

"I believe it's pronounced menage a trois."

"I've been caught in the web of my own lies." (George gets second gf and has the two gf's run into each other.)

Start dating your cousin.

The pick.

Make excuses for shrinkage.

Buy her a defective sweater that you can't return because it is on the clearance rack.

A "move" that involves a knuckle.

Eat something out of the trash.

Take up smoking.

Put others in danger in an effort to save yourself from something that turns out not to be dangerous.

Poison wedding invitations.

This happened before. And i had quit smoking, but left a bunch of empty cigarette packs in my car so she would think I was lying about quitting smoking. Hoping she'd "dump me"

42. You might be too smart for this thread --
It might simply be a "definition" thing. One of my sisters has a significant other who is kind of an idiot. They see each other exclusively, sleep together regularly, talk on the phone multiple times a day, and yet, they aren't "boyfriend/girlfriend" because THOSE WORDS imply a "commitment" and he's not ready to go there. I'm hoping she dumps his butt, because she's far too good for him, and while she's busy wasting her energy with this "special friendship", she's too classy to look at all the better stuff around her. But he is all self-righteous because he's been "honest" about stuff (when in reality he's just jumped in the river of De-Nile because he can't deal with the reality of life/face up to his responsibilities for being in a relationship).

But, my sister's situation probably has nothing to do with this thread, because idiots like that guy are few and far between, right?

44. I am not calling *you* an idiot (unless you are behaving like my
sister's "friend"). I don't know enough about you or your situation to know whether you are being an idiot or not.

Would you like to take the test?
