coolheadal Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 For those who don't know what Activity Partner is? Say you go on date and the girl doesn't like you she puts in in the Friend Zone. But you might have a chance to play act like she's your girl, but there is a catch. You only do things with like hang out, play ports likes mini golf. More to fill in the space a buddy who likes the same things but not someone you're especially close to and definitely not romantic with. If your stuck with going to a party and you need someone to go with then here comes in your Activity Partner (a.k.a buddy) Or if that AP doesn't have a date or needs someone to go to a Wedding then you can be his AP for that day. I've never consider myself as AP nor have I did that act, but have any of you done this deed?
ThsAmericanLife Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Yep. When I was younger, I'd have male friends who would go as a 'stunt' date for parties/weddings when they aren't seeing someone. These days, I go to those kinds of things solo so that an available man wouldn't assume my stunt guy was an actual date. Leaves me open to meeting someone to actually date. Regarding other activities... absolutely. Not everyone is going to be compatible for a relationship. There is no need to sit at home or do things by oneself all of the time... most of my girlfriends don't have adventurous hobbies and aren't as physically active as me. So, I turn to my guy friends. Half the population is the other gender. Why cut out the chance to enjoy some companionship while you are looking for a relationship? I'm not talking about FWB either. I don't do those. Keep in mind, I'm a pretty good 'wing' woman and friend to my male friends. It isn't one sided. It is just as likely that on these 'outings' I'm helping him get over a bad spell after a breakup, job stuff, etc.

I have lots of male friends and don't see any problem with being there for my guys when they need a true friend.
