Ok - last night I went out with a couple of girlfriends and we had a great night. We met loads of interesting people, men and women, it was just one of those warm, fuzzy drunken nights where everyone was in a good mood. It was a real laugh.*
I got out of a long-term relationship at the start of this year and I'm only just starting to get back into the single life and I feel ready, if not for a serious relationship then at least to see other people. But I'm a little confused about the dating scene - I don't really know what I'm doing!
Here's my problem - we must have met about 9 or 10 really lovely men last night. They were funny, smart, happy - just lovely, lovely people and I really enjoyed their company. But every single one of them gave as much attention to each of my girlfriends and me. They had their arms around us, were talking very attentively. But then when the group positions changed they would do the same with the next one of us! One of them asked for my number later but he'd just got my friend's number and I felt wierd about it so I said no.
Just generally, what do people think? Is that normal for a guy not to care which girl in a group he ends up with? Am I just being uptight about the guy asking for my number after getting my friend's? There was one guy who I would have given my number to, to see if he'd like to meet up again, but it was impossible to tell if he liked me any more than he liked my friends so I didn't. (Not that he asked for it!)
I suppose the guys might not have been sure which one of them we liked. Is this just the way it happens when you're out meeting people? Is it silly to expect to be liked more than your friends the first time you meet someone?
