less than 24 hrs after he says this - which I do 'get' and 'accept'... he and I are at the same 'watering hole' (I'm there first and don't know he's there) and he approaches me and then goes for a 'feel'... guys - any input here?

So, when he's not drinking, he gets to see all of you, maybe isn't interested in the whole package, or just doesn't want a relationship, so he says he just wants to be friends, but when he's in the context of a bar, he sees your body (thru beer goggles, maybe?) and wants to cop a feel?

Am I getting that scenario right? If so, then I think its self-explanatory...right? He's drunk, horny, and wants the pleasure but not the price.

Curios mind would like to know how did you react to such behavior?

Smiled ? Felt him? ... or ... Kicked him in the nuts and/or broke his arm?

He wants to avoid calling you his girlfriend, whilst still having sex with you.

P.S. I'm glad somebody is keeping this alive!

Maybe he just wanted to feel whatever he was going to feel.

Personally, I have female friends, I'd like to feel or have felt and would like to feel again, but would never date. It's how I differenciate between friends and meeting new people. Copping a feel is much more personal than a handshake, I wouldn't want to do it to a stranger...for the latter of Red's suggested options of reactions.

Yes OP, inquiring minds would like to know what you did after he went in for the "feel".

Did you say, "Ya never know what you have until it's gone?" or something more brutal in mind? Like gouging his eyes out?

Like above posters said either FWB or even farther down he wants to be your FB....

Ya think? Is this something the younger generation subscribes to as friendly gestures? lol

I think the guys have answered this question.

I'm actually surprised you even had to ask it.

Another curious mind would like to know if you were talking to another guy at the time. Maybe Mr. Friendly got a lil jealous.

I think I'd go with a nice 3" wedged heel pointedly slammed down on his foot while "accidentally" spilling your drink on his pants with one hand and an elbow to the chest. That combo is kind of a nicer, gentler way of making a point as opposed to the arm breaking thing RedC suggested. (that can leave too much evidence Red, you should know that by now).

Or are we only hearing half the story here? Cmon OP, admit it, you went for the feel first, didn't ya? J/K!!!

Yeah... Boobshake in a bar is a bit too much, no?

*is glad to see that the boy is learning*

_Red_, you are obviously a kinder and gentler person than moi.

Or, you never had a chance to hear the sound of crushing bones... it's like a music to my ears.
You should try it sometimes...


OT: Another question comes to mind, did this "smooth" move make it more or less likely that you'd be interested in this "gentleman"?

Ah, but the squishing sound of gouging eyes has a certain ring to it too......Just sayin'


Do we know that it was a "cop" in the boob area?
OP I don't think said .....

Smile real pretty at him as you gently slide your hand between his legs up to his crouch...now SQUEEZE real hard...until he gets the message that you ain't interested in having sex with him if your not his girlfriend.

Never! The only time it's unappropriate is on initial (1st time ever) greeting...after that it's a sort of play it by ear until you know them well enough to just go for it. Sometimes the first time is a big shock, but they learn to come to expect it after a while.

That only works if:
1. He's not into pain
2. She has incredibly long, sharp nails
3. She works out with one of those hand squeeze balls on a regular basis

RedC - Not so much gentler, just wary of serving time. I do love men in uniform but it's hard to play with them when they're on the opposite side of the bars.

Yeah, me too. I have no problem with this. What's the big deal? It's not like he's never been there, done that, ya know?

Shoulda just grabbed his boy bulge and asked him for a drink. Rubbed your boobs against his chest and licked the outer rim of his ear and taken his wallet.

Totally kewl with this whole thing. Did I miss something?

OP, we do want to know what you said to him.
Perhaps if any of us finds ourselves in that situation we can summon up your experience.


Sometimes the first time is a big shock, but they learn to come to expect it after a while
So.....does this mean that after the initial shock......when they next see you and you come up for the salutation they don't extend their hand but their chests?

Kinda like men that thrust their hips forward when they walk up to us... just hoping that we'll cop a feel..... er.... extend our hands for a shake.

Not so much, but ya know the whole hug greeting just gets a little extra, and they don't freak out about it. Just gotta try to remember how they like it, don't wanna grab too hard/soft on the wrong person...then they just look at you like "What the hell was that sh!t"
It's all discrete, so it's good for everywhere...except maybe Church, funerals, and their wedding.

I don't know, I prefer to greet a guy with an ass grab. Maybe I'm just not forward enough?

to all - obviously it was stupid of me to pose an actual 'serious' question to 'some readers' who still react as tho they were in grade school..

I was not 'upset' about the boob grab - chit man.. that would be just stupid.. so please understand that I am simply trying to understand the motivation (other than the obvious 'get laid' mentality)...let me fill you in...

we initially 'dated' twice prior to the 'let's just be friends speech'...

I do not wear heels, have long nails or such.. I was there alone - sitting at a table alone and did not initiate a conversation with him.. nor was i 'with' anyone else - i went to hear some musician friends of mine play.. simple as that...

was I drunk - no! (had been there 20 min) was he drunk? didn't seem to be but i'm no mind reader...

how did i react? I simply moved a couple of steps back and whispered, "Just friends - don't DO that"... that was all that was said or done...

I simply posed the question to you guys out there to ask if I had missed something obvious other than the obvious FWB or sex angle... that's all...

enuff with the mindless female comments, please.. I really did want the guy's perspective - thanks all
