May. 6th, 2007 03:55 pmA sociological query:
So when I hang out with a guy one-on-one, unless an actual move is made or romantic intent clarified beforehand, my baseline assumption tends to be: not a date. This holds true whatever the activity; I wouldn't automatically consider going to a movie with a female friend to be part of courtship behavior, so why should it be so for a male friend?
I'm not ranting or anything, just curious. The assumptions other people make and the assumptions I make often do not seem to be the same. Am I crazy out of the loop, or just naive? I ask you, O Wise LJers, where do your assumptions fall?
