I guess i'm going to "hang-out" with a woman because the word "date" is too scary?

She's testing you, she doesn't like putting labels on relationships because she's a liberated women, she's in denial, she wants you to do all the work, she's been hurt before so she doesn't want to invest in something that might break her heart again, all women want to get married after a certain age so she's probably immature, she probably just wants to have casual sex and not give you the idea that she is romantically attached to you as she might have other men in her life.

 

There are 1001 and one possibilities.

 

Personally I think she just wanted me to keep her from being bored while she looks for someone she really wants to sleep with.

Hence the cleverly diguised "freinds first" trap.

LOL... ahhh the single life. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it. But my girlfriend is a rare relatively good one, so I wouldn't say single life was better overall. But I do miss it.

 

Nothing much to add, you know what you're doing. Although maturity has nothing to do with age.

 

And looks matter. I have the opposite problem; I lost the genetic lottery in that area -- I was stick thin. Been fighting my genetics for many years already, and I managed to put on a bit of weight and muscle. It certainly made a difference.
