Re:AARRRGGG Bad "friendly outing" in_search_of: I had a friend that started out with an intimate setting, and until some other ex friends got into it with us, we managed to transition back and forth quite well, but no good...I will put the whole story out there later...but I have been right where you were too!

I'm starting to feel manipulated.

See, this is why I like to keep hostile / semi-homicidal relations with ex girlfriends and wives. There's no room for ambiguity or head games when you want to kill each other.

Re:AARRRGGG Bad "friendly outing" Brian75034: Lone,
I think you need to figure out exactly what kind of relationship you want with this guy.

Lone,

At this point if I accepted anything more than friendship, I would have to seriously doubt how much I care about myself, along with my friends whom unanimously dislike him.
But I care, and I don't think we can be friends at this point without space because it is evident that this is not functioning...
*Honestly*, as much as I HATE to say it, I would have called a time out with him if I was completely in my right mind. But, the idea of losing permanent contact with someone else I care about is excrutiating. One large and smaller time bomb. That alone is reason to emphasize that if you're having a hard time doing the right thing, are you ready to be playing this game?!?!?
*Let me rephrase that earlier comment-its not that he's intelligently creative (don't want to give him more credit than is due) with his little strategy but that he is becoming more selectively perceptive.
Re:AARRRGGG Bad "friendly outing" incoherentlonghorn: PRICELESS...check out the email he sent me late Tuesday night...I had to force myself to open it.
"I apologize for my boorish behavior on Saturday night, it was uncalled for and inappropriate. I was in the wrong which usually results in a total lack of commentary on my behalf afterwards. Currently considering faking some sort of seizure in order to go home and enjoy the rain and a book."
Hence the phone call where he called so I could talk...THIS MAN >:(
AARRRRRGGGGGGG...thank you, quite seditious. In email, but I guess it is better than nothing. I must say now maybe his intent was less malicious than anticipated. :-\
I'm off to contrive an apt response...growl. I am much more content now that he has shared in the blame. :) Not that either of our behavior was spotless.
Now maybe I can shoot for friendship after careful thought...thanks you guys(ladies included)! No mas.
*Edit - Granted he always had a way with words in a formal manner, great apology!
