on the matter regarding a dating relationship. i have been dating a woman for a out 3 months, and she is starting to dictate who my friends are. I have a female friend that is like a sister to me and I am now being told that I talk to and visit her way to much. C (the lady I am dating) doesn't have a problem if I hang out with my guy friends and do whatever..... but she doesn't believe that males and females can be friends with out hanky panky going on.......Several women on the boad know me, and we have hung out at some meetups......I consider them as friends and can talk and visit, the feel as if they are family. This seems like she is asking me to give up family.....and I am fairly sure the next step will be to not hang with the guy friends...... and then family....I have
DUNN that and I will never do that again.......Am I being paranoid?

All opinions welcomed......I think I may be about to become a monk..... Naw I like people to much......

thanks
AJJ.

I dunno where she is coming from. I haven't started dating yet, but I have to admit, after being burned as badly as I was during my marriage- I may have issues with a bf being good friends with a woman. But then again- I'm not dating yet because I know I'm probably not ready. I guess I just wouldn't put it down to her being a control freak only, but if she is worth it, I'd do what I could to make her feel more secure about it.

Umm, what a player got to do? Common, man, toxic or not, we are not hot/young/catch.

WOW!!

I just have to say...I have been here a long time...

and I mostly 'lurk'

But it really has been a pleasure to read this thread...on a VERY sensitive topic...

and read so many diverse opinions shared so very thoughtfully...and with a 'nice' measure of humour!!

TY...ALL!!
