Date Mates...:eek3d:

To quote a chick flick:

Harry Burns: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.

It wouldn't work

But the 'hassle' is only in the mind....such people who think of it as a 'hassle' are such people who'd like this weird 'datemate' thing.....basically teenage anxiety being vented in a weird way.

I think it's kind of saddening really.

No its not...Having a girlfriend takes up a lot of time :dunno:

Its not a teenage thing, ive just said that...Teenagers over here just have normal girlfriends...

So you go on dates, stay in and don't have sex.

Sounds like marriage.

Haha, exactly what I was thinking!

Bizarre idea - why would anyone want to hang out with a needy female (and anyone suggesting this is needy +1) when there's no possibility of a bunk up? :confused:

That's the thing, it's a gateway to sex. This is all too obvious to me. It's just a simpler way of saying "uhhhhhh will you go out wiv me like?".

Its not though :dunno: The idea is that theres no real involvement, its simply carefree companionship so youre not alone all the time.

and you cant get any more simple than asking someone out.

Sounds just like a normal friendship between a girl and boy to me... or am I missing something?

You tongue your female friends and spend the night cuddling with them do you?

I don't see tonguing anywhere, but I agree it's not a normal relationship.

I didn't realise there was tonguing involved... But I do give cuddles to some of my closer purely platonic female friends (admitedly not all night). Less now owing to being careful with my current girlfriend.

I now understand what this all is... just a girlfriend with no sex. I guess it can be ok if you can cope with that. Puts less pressure on too I guess.

I wonder if you're allowed to seek carnal pleasure elsewhere?
