[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She got asked out on a date that he tried to frame as "not a date" (just wants advice!) and turned it into not-a-date for real (bringing a girlfriend, talking about her boyfriend).  I think that your discomfort makes sense but also that you might not understand, as a guy, the layers women have to navigate to keep guys from feeling rejected when you reject them.  Their kids are on a team together so she has to see him in the future and if he gets his feelings hurt he could make it extremely uncomfortable.  He could badmouth her to other parents, harass her when he sees her, stalk her, get violent, none of it is out of the realm of reality.[/quote]

This.

Unless you are there to physically protect her every moment of the day OP, you can't police how she tries to gently let down guys. I would have actually invited you along instead of the girlfriend, but that's me.

[b]If you two don't want to get married for whatever reasons you have, have you thought about giving her a nice ring to wear on her left hand? Would she like one? It's a universal signal for "not available." She could even pick on out that doesn't have engagement ring vibes. [/b]

I used to wear one all the time when I was single and working with the public. Sometimes random guys who you've never met before get really angry when you don't want to go out with them after work. [/quote]

Ew, hell, no. I’m not wearing some dude’s ring unless he’s committed to me. [/quote]
