    My boyfriend is 31 and I'm 21, he genuinely thinks he looks my age.Its definitely not old though!!

    I'm confused.. I thought he wasn't your boyfriend :confused:

    Dating, it seems, is difficult these days. I can barely keep up with this thread!

    An amateur psychologist could read all sorts of things into that and what you really want from him, depsite what you say. The lady doth protest too much methinks :D

    I just call it "the arrangement" Difference is cuddles we dont see other people. I dont have time nor want to be in a relationship with anyone - But I have a fondness for sexual activity so this works, I cant see the point in seeing other people, if you meet a rich handsome dongzilla tomorrow your "boyfriend" is out the door! Seems harsher than what I have!

    In saying that maybe i'm just lazy!

    This non-relationship thing is really strange to me. I don't get it at all.

    I'm not looking down on it or anything, I just don't really get it. Sounds kind of awkward.

    It's not awkward when your dead inside but you still need/want funky time.

    Hi. :)

    Ok people of AH's

    Ive been "seeing" a girl for 7 months, just casual like!

    Its her 30th today (thank god for Facebook)

    Dont have a clue what to get her as we are not in a relationship but still feel I should get her something!

    All options considered!

    Are you shagging her?

    We spend time with each other outside of the bed though, we used to keep it just to the bed but its much better this way!

    The decider of whether or not this is a relationship - do you ever meet up and not have sex?

    We are Sleeping together - not seeing other people - but not going out with one another! A strange one really!

    So actually, you are going out, you just don't know it yet.

    Get her a proper boyfriend. :(

    If I was seeing someone for seven months, he'd definitely be my boyfriend. I'm very confused after reading this thread. And more than a little insecure.

    Yeah, fck all strange about it really. You're going out, she's going along with the charade hoping you'll get serious. You'll get to Xmas and will find yourself on the end of "I just need to know where we are going/what do I mean to you?" conversation.

    Im just saying youre acting as though shes just holding out hope, when in fact it sounds like she knows the score.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,652 ✭✭✭I am pie

    Yeah, i'm still going with holding out hope.

    In both cases.....

    No. We are not. - I have never met her outside of her house.

    Bit harsh, Harsh but fair.

    Thank you - she does.

    I might sound like im forcing my will - thats not the case - Why can't people understand both parties know the story and are ok with it???

    Now - Birthday Present???

    Because someone always has to get hurt of course, girls feelings always get in the way, girls cant just like sex and a mutually beneficially relationship that isnt going anywhere. ;)

    Is it your 30th birthday today and you haven't seen your boyfriend of 7 months yet? :/

    OP you say she'd get you an awesome present if it was your birthday...get her something decent. Voucher for BTs or Boots is probably the only decent completely non committal thing.

    She's "seeing" you for 7 months and you know she'd get you am "awesome" gift. I cant imagine going along woth all that for someone i was into.Why is it only casual? It'd be a good night to step it up a gear!

    I'm not that sure you know the story if you're this concerned about a birthday present tbh.

    Well now that's she's 30 she'll get all broody and start wanting babies. She'll definitely need to know whether this 'thing' you have is going anywhere. And if it's not she'll be gone to find a baby maker so fast. You'll be thinking back on how silly it was to worry this much about getting her a birthday present.
