Everytime I see a Female on Blindate who is not interested in a guy, they all say the same thing which is "WE CAN BE FRIENDS. The female know that is a lie so why not just say I don't think you are my type. That is what I say when I'm not interested in a female. What's the point of lying?

I agree. That line is so lame that I don't believe that the woman is saying it with the intention of easing the moment. I belive that is a her way of coming off as the superior being in the whole fiasco. It's either that or they are awfully lacking in the social graces. Everyone should know how that stinger line plays. It plays with insincerity. It's a real barfer.

One of my best friends says that to EVERY guy she dumps. :lol: I'm not joking EVERY ONE of them, she has given them that line. :ohno: I'm trying to get her to say something else besides that, because it's got to be annoying.

So when a guy says that he isnt your type after you would tell him you like him, does that mean he doesnt even want to be friends w\u? But if the guy says i dont like you like that, but youre a cool friend, does that mean he wants to be friends w\u or is he actually saying, i dont want to be your friend at all?

I would not mind being friends with a female that i'm not attracted to. But most people can't HANDLE being just friends when the find that person attractive.

I guess the point is that as females we sometimes think we're being "sensitive" and "polite" when we put it that way. It's so very hard for me to intentionally hurt someone's feelings.

My point is, it doesn't need to be said at all because it sounds stupid.

First off, if the date or meeting is mutually not that great then you won't be hurting anyone's feelings by saying somethng sincere. Such as: 'It was nice meeting you, I had fun.' The 'We can be friends' line has no place unless it is actually true. When it is true, that isn't what you would say because that line is only used when it isn't true. Sometimes people get together and have a good time but the romantic chemistry isn't there. None the less, something else might be there. Maybe they made one another laugh or conversed well and felt comfortable together. If that happens both people will feel it so then a statement like, 'Let's get together again sometime' might be appropriate. There is never a time that I can think of where the line, "We can be friends' has any usefulness.

Um.....okay! (sheesh)

I could handle being friend w\the guy I liked. I think we're friends, I dunno but oh well. I dont like him nemore and havent for awhile.

First off, there are times when that is exactly what the woman means. She likes the guy, but isn't romantically attracted to him. Why ruin a wonderful friendship with romance?

I had one occasion where I actually DID use that line. My purpose was this: The freak of a guy had been seeing me and then just disappeared... poof... out of my life. He calls me a year later, lying through his teeth about not being able to contact me. I KNEW he was lying; I had information that he didn't realize that I did have. I just strung him along through this conversation. I let him get his hopes up that he could just pick up the relationship where he left off. I gave him every chance to tell me the truth, but he didn't.

In essense I gave him enough rope to hang himself. He did.

I made the statement: "Well, if you'd like a friend to go see a movie with or to talk to, give me a call."

He was dumbfounded. "What? You just want to be friends?"

My response: "Yep. That's all."

I never heard from him again.
That's what I wanted.

The line was very useful.
:lol:

Uh-oh, sounds like a scorned lonely individual to me.

I'm a guy, and when my first girlfriend broke up with me, *I* asked if we could still be friends (twist on a cliche, eh? :)) She seemed caught off-guard. Strangely enough, two years later, she started hitting on me again. By then, though, she wasn't my type. She cussed to much and made fun of people I was friends with. But, it was fun walking up the school ramp with my arm around her. :) Haven't heard from her in a while...

And all women are fickle, illogical, manipulative, vain creatures who don't know what they want.

:rotflmao:

Well, Ive never been in this situation before (pity party for Crystal in 15!!!), but frankly I dont think I could be friends with someone if it didnt work out romantically. I can see if we've known eachother forever and tried the dating then yeah, but if we just started going at it (not like that), then itd be kinda hard to be friends seeing as how we never started off as friends.

First off, "all women" is an extremely stereotypical statement.

And secondly- so what if we are sometimes- know why? Because of men! Women have to be manipulative and fickle sometimes.

I also don't appreicate the use of the word "creatures"

It's hard for a man to be friends with a woman. I know ya'll seen the movie When Harry Met Sally. The reason i say it's hard is because most men think about having sex with women all the time & if the woman is attractive, it's very hard to be friends with her knowing u wanna have sex with her.

That's not true,I have plenty of female friends whom I've grown up with,and it's only like that if you mainly think of women as sex objects,it can become deeper than that.

You know what sometimes it's the total opposite,because us males are mainly like that,and I guess you think it's ok.

ok...it is,why do you say?

3LW got a new member in their group. Why do i say what?

If I went out with a girl and we did not click I would like her to be
honest and say "Julian we had a date , I 'm glad to have gone out with you but,I just don't see us as a couple."Maybe we can be friends."Not unless she absolutely 100% means it though.

Yeah. I watch Blind date and Tail Daters, and that is all the women say. But did anyone besides me realize that men only look at women for the face and body? That p i s ses me off so much! I mite never have a good bf cuzz im not exactly skinny or beautiful. I just dumped my old bf cuz he was a dick...
