Well I think that when you're interested in someone, it's always good to get the relationship stuff out of the way. Especially if there's clear interest on both sides. No need to beat around the bush. But if you're just making what I like to call smoker's small talk about the weather and how work sucks, then I really don't need you to put up an electric fence around you by saying 'I have a girlfriend.' But the men have made things clearer, so I shant complain any longer...

@ Rummy Punch... of course yo...@ The Ink - THANKS!<br /><br />@ Rummy Punch... of course you drink as much as your post implies. Did you forget your name? (chuckle)<br /><br />I really don't know what to say here. You got me stumped... but I am with Sam. I don't want to know that mess right away because I sure as hell ain't sure I want to be your girlfriend based on a brief conversation. Give me a minute dude... how about we meet up with our friends at a few HH before we go solo. I guess I am not an impulse buyer.<br /><br />But when we do get to that moment of truth, I feel like I am pulling teeth.

And I'm sure the undercurrent was, "Ha ha. I'm not alone. Are you?" But w/ the 2nd example, that was just weirdness. I was really just like, "oh hey dude whose face is familiar cause we're both standing here at the bar..." And then out of nowhere he's all, "yeah my girlfriend." I was like uh have I been drinking <I>that</I> much? Were we talking about that. Oh well...<br /><br />@ The Ink - Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy us! And LOL @ stepping out to the car real quick. Thanks for providing missing pieces to the puzzle. Now, that totally makes sense. Now, I'll just laugh on the inside (instead of crying) when this goes down again. And it will go down.

Im also a bit (read: considerably) older, but thats neither here nor there.<br /><br /><br />Men are curious creatures. Usually men name drop an SO in lieu of Making a play. Its intended to be basic shorthand for "Im not trying to push up on you but i am enjoying having this conversation." Unless they are douchebags and its shorthand for "I have no intentions on marrying you but we can step out to the car real quick if you want."<br /><br />Youll get a little of that too.<br /><br />I dont think its a matter of flossing a significant other so much as it is about getting ones status out of the way in order to focus the intention of the conversation...either way as evidenced by my above translations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-45847270056261845092009-05-01T11:02:00.000-04:002009-05-01T11:02:00.000-04:00In the context you describe, men "show off" their ...In the context you describe, men "show off" their new girlfriend as a defense mechanism.
