Being Introduced as a " Friend".

Anonymous
Met this girl roughly 3 months back at a bar while out with friends. We hit it off, but I can't tell if it's just sex, or if she wants more. I thought we are all good, but at she introduced me as her friend last weekend at her friends birthday party. I'm still hurt by it, but afraid to ask to see what she will say. I thought we were moving in a serious direction, but she must not. It sucks.

Man up and talk to her. How old are you?

She brought you to a party with her friends as her date. She has sex with you. She’s definitely into you. If she’s dating a couple people, you are likely her favorite.

Maybe she doesn’t want to scare you off by presuming you’re exclusive. Agree with PP who said to man up and talk to her.

Op here. I introduced her as my girlfriend twice with family and friends.

Are you incapable of asking her?

That sucks. She is still looking around for someone better.

Maybe she introduced you as a friend because she didn't want to appear clingy to you? I can see myself doing something dumb like that back in the day.

+ 1. The thing is that men always hate when women catch "feels".

Women have learned not to presume anything about a relationship, unless the man has made his intentions very clear by talking about it.

If she would have introduced you as her boyfriend at the party, it would have meant that it is a bonafide emotional relationship and that would have made you freak out. When a man introduces a woman as his girlfriend it does not mean a bonafide relationship but only means that they are exclusive in having sex with each other.

This. I wouldn't introduce someone as my boyfriend unless we had talked and made it official.

Dude, talking to the person helps. Writing it here doesn't get you what you want to know.

I bitched my boyfriend out for introducing me as a friend in the beginning. Now he overdoes it - this is my GIRLFRIEND. We laugh.

But seriously why not just ask her dude?

Yup. She cares enough about you to bring you to the party. My friends and I would have a saying about not bringing sand to the beach. But I wouldn’t bust out calling a guy my boyfriend unless as pp said his intentions were very clear by having an actual conversation.
