irc333 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Funny thing happened, I went on a nature hike with a female friend, and the people in the group would assume we're married. LOL A woman asked the woman I was with, "So, are you and your husband into the outdoors" And she was like, "Um, he's not my husband" LOL. Though I wasn't completely embarassed, because I only thought of her as a friend, too. You have any idea how embarrassing that is...esp when you have INTEREST in that woman? I had a situation like that, where I was unclear she had romantic interest in me or not, but she just considered me a "FWB", I was out with her, and a boyfriend/girlfriend couple asked us "How we met"...and she said "Oh no, we're not together". Yeah, quite embarrassing where you find out where you stand, when they have to explain to COMPLETE strangers that you're not dating. This could be a double topic, but it's funny how friends or onlookers assume you're a couple when you're together or just STARTED going out. It's interesting, I was talking to a friend, and mentioned I was going out on a 2nd date with a woman....it didn't work out after that. But she contacted me to ask "So how's the new girlfriend?" And I"m thinking "Um, we just went out twice." Same thing when you've been seen with a woman by other friends, and they assume you're on a date by the woman who FZ'ed you. OR....
Emilia Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Can't say I would give a toss to be fair. These are little social misshaps, I forget them within 10 seconds.
LittlePrince Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Can't say I would give a toss to be fair. These are little social misshaps, I forget them within 10 seconds. Isn't it irritating when people pretend to be so cool with everything like they are auditioning for an off-Broadway musical to play the part of Chester Cheetoh?
Bristolius Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Can't say I would give a toss to be fair. These are little social misshaps, I forget them within 10 seconds. I don't think the OP was referring to the question loaded with assumptions, he was referring to the information it revealed, that he didn't know. Example: "How did you meet your husband?" "He's not my husband. We're not even dating!"
Mrlonelyone Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 That can work two ways. The woman can hear from people that "Oh what a cute couple you two are". Hearing that enough can make some people reevaluate their decision to FZ a person. You know, "If all these people think we are a couple and go well together, and I get along with this guy/gal, maybe I'm wrong about not considering them." Many people think that way. They let the herd influence their personal choices. 1
Emilia Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I don't think the OP was referring to the question loaded with assumptions, he was referring to the information it revealed, that he didn't know. Example: "How did you meet your husband?" "He's not my husband. We're not even dating!" In the first example the OP said himself they were just friends therefore he knew what was going on. The point is the same, this is sweating the small stuff. It's counterproductive in every day social interactions in my opinion.

Same thing when you've been seen with a woman by other friends, and they assume you're on a date by the woman who FZ'ed you. You take small talk way too seriously. Clarify, and move on. More interesting--why don't you know if you are dating a woman or not before she explains it to strangers? If you'd ask her out on a proper date, using that word, and she accepted--you'd know.
yongyong Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Thats why i cant hangout with gays and ugly women one on one. People will say this is wrong. But when they see us they will assume im banging him/her. How stupid people are.....
runningfar Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Meanwhile, there is a girl talking to her friends somewhere out there, "Yeah! I really like him but what if he thought I was be presumptuous or needy? We haven't even talked about it? He's not asked me on a date, exactly, I don't know, it felt like it was going somewhere though..."
GirlontheLam Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I have a friend that this happens with frequently. We just laugh it off and say we are friends. Usually that's enough. But one time, the woman who commented just swore up and down we were going to wake up one day and decide to get married.......
