Not sure what to make of this. Was socialising with some friends, family and acquaintances . A girl who I have had little to do with, introduced me to some people she knew and said "Dave and I go way back". Which is not really true.
The whole afternoon she was friendly to me. Wouldn't say shes that friendly usually. Not sure what I did to deserve it.

The only history I have with her is a brief makeout session a few years ago, but nothing beyond kissing. We have talked a couple of times and thats it.
She is happily married with a family now, so has zero intentions of hooking up.

I was left confused as to why she was like this. Its not a big deal and I don't expect anyone here to give me the answer, but any input appreciated, may provide me with something I havn't thought of.

She didn't want anyone to question why she was socializing with a guy who wasn't her husband. So she said you went way back

Mod cut: Off topic.

Here's the possibilities I'm immediately thinking:

- She wants to show off to everyone, especially the other women there that they don't know you as well as she does, so it's her bitchy way of showing everyone where she stands with you.

- Being marrreid/having kids doesn't always matter to some people the way it should. She may still have a desire for you. This is whether her husband was present at this gathering or not.

- She's just a real flirt who wants all the attention.

I don't understand.

You say you have a brief history with her.

She says "Dave and I go way back".

What exactly is it that confuses you?

Because...having a brief kissing session & talking a couple of times like he says is a long, long shot away from "going way back". The way back statement to most people mean that you've been forever friends for years or something & the person knows you quite well.

"We "go way back" does not meant you are/were involved. It simply means that you have been acquainted for a long time. Which you have. Seems like a perfectly normal thing to say.

Ah, no. It doesn't. Not at all. It simply means that you have been acquainted for a long time...absolutely does not mean that you know each other well, and certainly has nothing to do with being "forever friends".

No. Of course not. It doesn't mean that at all. I already stated what it means, and I clarified it for you.
