East7 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I've gone out with females just to have company. But I never made a move on anyone who I wasn't into or went out with someone who I know was into me where I didn't feel the same. So, it's understood that the nature of these outings was that she wasn't all that into me and vice versa. Ya never know--sometimes a woman has friends or sisters or something you might get introduced to. I share exactly the same views. I have plenty of female friends and once in a while meet new ones. Just hanging out with them is OK for me even if I'm not romantically interested. IMO there is nothing wrong to share interest, hobbies or going together at a night bar with an opposite sex friend or even acquaintances. Although, I will not make a move or pretend to be interested if I'm not, except if the situation turns in a FWB thing
Whatshername Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I am doing this now. Post break up, a friend (who btw is attracted to me) that I met ages ago, but never hung out with. We are doing things as "friends". I am careful to go Dutch and not let myself be in a situation where things would be uncomfortable. As of now, I am not "feeling it", and am not ready. Problem is, he is "waiting" for me to be ready, but I am not sure that even when I am, I can kiss him. I am getting to know him, slowly and taking it a day at a time. He is nice, we get along well, and enjoy one another's company. I do NOT want to hurt him, and am not sure that he can get hurt by being just friends, but I sure hope not I am open to it developing into more......as I get to know him, I am noting things, etc, that I definitely did not do w/my exbf, with whom I got physical WAY too early. Any insight on this take would be welcome. I am 51, and past being so shallow that I think looks are everything. He is NOT unattractive, but different from my past men I was involved with.
mustofbeen Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I went out with lots of chicks that I wasn't attracted to, some of them grew on me and it turned into something more, the others well I never gone out with them again.
