obviously friendship, and hanging out with one's friends, even if of the opposite sex, is perfectly normal

thus the effect (intended or not) is to erode the value of romance, promote sexlessness and hegemony of (pun intended) the platonic form

its a good thing young people aren't already having less s***than ever or anything

exactly

shes still paying for her own meal

He’s only going to hurt himself, especially when she eventually finds a boyfriend and it’s not him

Yeah I’m not taking my female friends on dates. That’s a recipe for feelings and disaster.

That crooked ass smile speaking volumes

One of my homegirls has a guy that 100%obviously is into her and she keeps ignoring it and calls him all the same things this girl does

Its rly a ton of girls out there being like that on purpose

Can’t remember if I ever responded in this thread but I feel like people overreacted to this. A friendship date is just simply hanging out imo but the OP was weird calling it a date when he could have literally just said hanging out. If you can’t hang out with the s***you’re attracted to without catching feelings or wanting s***that’s reflection you have to do in the mirror for yourself

The reactions here have been adequate tbh

OP thought he had one with calling it “friendship dates” when hanging out with the opposite s***platonically is nothing new

Not to mention overdressing and fancy dinners with a friend is kinda weird and unusual. Makes me think the guy is secretly into her but and she knows it

if its truly platonic i dont see a problem.

Dude wants a f***ing cookie for not getting coochie

Yeah the date part is where ppl got confused at. Dude wants appraise for having a female friend lmao, and no way in hell will I ever call me hanging out with a girl I'm friends with a date we just hanging out

She missed his bday and said "buddy O pal"?! sheesh
