coz you feel attraction...then you get interested...

I'm sure other women have felt that way too. Me included. BUT if you want to be single, then go be single. But stop and think if you want to be single so you can have lots of dates, or do you need "alone" time? It would be unfair to break it off with this guy and expect him to be waiting until you "find" yourself.Once you cut him loose, he is free to do and be with whoever he chooses, and you will have to accept that.

me and my single friends are all gonna hang together.  one year me and two of my female friends chose each others name outta hat and found that person a blind date.  it was kinda interesting.  its probably to late for that now though.  but who says u HAVE TO do something anyway.  i feel like if ur in love v-day should be everyday.  if your single its just another day.  or maybe ur young and thats why u feel like u should have a date because of peer pressure.

Have you thought about "writing off" some of these "guy friends"?  If they are "just" friends, why does it matter who they date?\n\nI get the impression that these "guy friends" are more than just "friends" to you -- that they are prospective "boy friends".\n\nConsider it self selection.  If these guys are more interested in your cousin than you, then you might take the attitude that these guys weren't the guys for you in the first place.  (When I was young, I used to get frustrated that certain girls only liked me as a friend.  When I got older and wiser, I realized that these girls and women did me a favor ... they saved me from a relationship with someone whom I would not have been happy with long term).\n\nThis realization can become a real form of empowerment for yourself which, may in turn, make you more attractive to some of these guys in the first place.\n\nTwisted logic, I know.  But I met the woman who became my wife when I finally said to heck with women who weren't interested in me.\n\nFinally, why are you and your "guy friends" hanging out in situations where they get to meet your cousin anyhow?  If there are guys you like, find ways to hang out with them that don't allow your cousin to get near them.  Or if you are hanging around with your cousin, stop hanging around with her. Put some distance between you and her.

If you are having this kind of a delimma, you may not be ready to be in an involved relationship.  You need to find someone you can date and have fun with but not be seriously involved with.  It is hardly fair to the person you are allegedly committed to for you to be considering a hookup.

To some people, lunch is just that. Lunch.\n\nIt's not a promise of anything more, it's just something that friends do.  Women enjoy talking, and they like having some company.  Just because someone's in a relationship doesn't stop them doing that.\n\nAs a male I would go to lunch with anyone I want to spend time with - male or female, married or single - with no question of anything more than that.  It wouldn't be a 'date', just less boring than eating on my own.

My guy friends are like my brothers. We hangout, do guy and girl stuff, talk about relationships and the differences between the sexes and everything else. They approve my dates and I approve theirs. Like a perfect relationship without the sex and the drama.\n\nHope this answers your question.

I don't mind to have this friend but I would not force him or myself to have further step. It doesn't mean I don't want. I prefer to come naturely. If it's time that we want to be together, I think both of us would have the same feeling. No need to think that he should be my boyfriend/friend. Just relax and enjoy the relationship in this moment.

You should never be uncomfortable with the person you are dating.  I think you know the answer to this...Dating is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

Is it the type of thing where, if one of you date the guy, all hell break's loose? Kuz, if it is, it's not worth it, back away, (sometimes you'll get the guy like that. lol)\nBut, if you guys are really close, don't worry about it, make sure jealousy or greed doesn't get in the way of your friendships.\nI know I sound like Yoda or something, but trust me, it has to be told.\nGood luck!

You just tell them how you honestly feel. You can't concern yourself with if they are going to be hurt or not. Both men and women have a hard time finding a partner when they have young kinds, unfortunately its worse for the woman with young kids. Its a matter of choice, and if you prefer not to date someone with young kids, that is your perogative and you have the right to make that decision. What's important here is your happiness in life with another.

For some reason you are drawn to women who are:\n1. Already needy, and seeking a partner to accept that and feed it.\n\n2. You are allowing them to dump too many personal problems on you.\n\nI want and need a friend and companion in my partner, but by no means do I feel that I can use them as a personal therapist! I know that women like to have a man who will listen and offer a shoulder to cry on when they need it, but in your case I would have to say you may need to toughen up a bit. Don't let yourself be used in this way, it is manipulation plain and simple. You may want to rethink what type of women you are dating. Seriously. Your partners needs and yours should be similar, so if you are leaving yourself open for this kind of behavior you need to step back and form a new game plan. Good Luck.

I see nothing wrong with that. I think my best friend and I have something...but we don't act on it, but if we were to i think it might be one of the best relationships ever...cause we were friends first..and I believe that you should be friends first and continue to be friends when you have a relationship with someone.

If two people do get as involved as you want then emotions are inevitable.  Even if two people try to make a commitment to not get emotionally attached it is next to impossible for one or both of them to stay emotionally distant.  Taking long walks usually means there is a commitment of some sort.  You want a physical relationship with no strings attached right?  Well it never works out.  One way or another emotions are going to get evolved.  If not the luvy-duvy type then the angry type.  Unfortunately many people have an idea as to what the ideal relationship is.  The guy is supposed to be the bread winner or the woman is supposed to cook and clean and many other things like that.  Everyone wants to pick and choose what happens when two people get together, but because the two people are different people then this is impossible.  You can't just pick and choose exactly what you want when you're with someone.  You want all the physical, but no emotional aspects of a relationship and unfortuantely for you it can't be done.

its fun to date their ex's friends. I feel like I grow a connection with my boyfriends friends so it just feels natural to go for their friends.

If you are ready to go from hanging out w/ the guys to dating the guys you should find a guy outside your circle of friends to date. It's easier dating someone else than a friend b/c if the relationship goes bad then you can part ways easier.
