When you are dating someone but they tell you they see you as just a friend.

[To me it sounds like they are saying I would like to have sex with you because it's less stressful than a commitment and cheaper than a Hooker but you are barely halfway good enough to be my partner, I'm saving that for someone else"]

Could be they are thinking instead you are too high maintaince, if you tend to flirt a lot, they might think how long till you move on, the ones you let score really easy, well, game over, could you be sending out signals you aren't looking for a long term commitment
I dated a woman for a long time who could have been your twin, and maybe it was her way of putting on the preassure to tell me what i wanted or didn't want, and then telling everyone else i had said it to her, now my only point there is preassure, maybe it's his way of handling too much or too fast from you, it's even tough for great looking women too
sometimes even theo we feel like we want a relationship and we feel as tho we are making that clear to someone, to them we seem aloof, they hear us say it, but they just don't seem to believe it

i agree with cookie22222..for me there's just something about referring to someone i am dating/in a relationship with as a "girlfriend" the term just sounds immature to me..i hate saying i simply just refer to the person as a friend too..and if they ask if she is my woman and that we are a couple i'll just say yes....its annoying that so many people want to put a specific "label" on a relationship...why put a name to it?..why cant it just be?..as along as you and the person knows what you want and what you are thats all that matters..

You are right on. They are good to have sex with you but not to date you. I have had experience with this unfortunately and the best thing is to recognize it right away and nip it in the bud so you don't get urself hurt. If they just fwb... they can look elsewhere in my book! I personally don't have time for those stupid games. I am looking for someone to grow with and possibly have a future. Not someone to pass my time. Id rather be single. Guys have a problem with stepping up to the plate these days so it is ultimately our responsibility as women to take care of ourselfs. When are they ever gonna grow up? What ever happened to chivallry? All this drives my dad nuts! LOL

What you are asking for is not a date or dating. You are asking for a commitment. There is a big differance. Dating is just together time. FWB, dinners out, movies and even sex can all happen without a commitment, but it happens on dates.

Q: "When are they ever gonna grow up?" A: Grown ups don't need a commitment to date or the things that can happen when dating.

Q: "What ever happened to chivallry?" A: They are telling you the truth they don't want a commitmet, this is chivallry, because it is the truth.

If you don't want to date, but want a commitment you need to let the men interested in you know you are not looking to date, but want his ball instead. Good Luck with that. Were are the women that only want some of your time, not your balls too?
