I ran into a old coworker on FB and we been chatting for a few weeks. She asked did I have a girlfriend and I told her no and just not looking for anything serious right now. So we had dinner the other night and she asked if I felt like having company and thought that wouldn't be a good idea since he wants to date me. I just want a lady friend for now to do things outdoors with no at my place which would a no pressure without sex. So this would not be a FWB just two adults hanging out on the weekends and having fun like traveling, dinner, or whatever.

Is that possible for a woman to do even if it's no sex involved?

You mean ... a friend?

If one of you has feelings for the other, no, it’s not possible.

Just not sure why she can't date someone else and just keep me platonic.

Nah. It doesn't work that way.

I figured that would only be the case if I had her stay over not having brunch or dinner in public. So it looks like I should cut off all communication since she has feelings.

"Just not looking for anything serious right now" it up for interpretation. She may think you WANT a FWB and that is why you said this.

Not if I didn't invite her in my apt after dinner.

You're right. I'm just pointing out that these phrases like "nothing serious" or "just friends", coming from a man, mean different things to different people. She may think you want FWB based on your phrase but she will eventually learn what you really mean by your actions.


If you really want to make it clear to her, use the word "platonic" with her.

Yeah, but since she is interested, it wouldn't work for her, just sent her wrong messages, and she would hope that things might change.
In this situation is better to stay away from her.

Unfortunately, you don't control another person's feelings.
