natwilliams Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Why is it so hard to make female friends? And is it even a good idea for a straight guy at 29 to be making female friends? I just like people and music and going out so I invite whoever I think is cool. But girls always think its a date. Maybe I should say stuff like "bring a friend", "bring your boyfriend", "I'll be brining my friends", "my girlfriend is coming". In fact it almost seems like mentioning my "girlfriend" even if she doesn't exist is a good rule no matter what when inviting girls out as friends.
WeirdChick Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I dont know about other girls, but I don't like to be friends with guys, because it never stays platonic, at some point one of them ends up having a crush or falling unhappy in love. Also my husband would be upset if I hang out with other guys. I dont need such kind of drama in my life
MissionPossible Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I have lots of dude friends, and I'm in my 30's…however, yes, I do tend to assume that a guy is asking for a date if he invites me to go out somewhere with him and it's not stated otherwise. I don't see anything wrong with just saying what you mean - why don't you just tell her you're trying to widen your circle of friends and ask her to bring some cool people, and that you'll do the same? Seems pretty straightforward to me.
