What is meant to be the purpose of friends agreeing to date other people?

Let's say you just meet a girl, and it's clear you like her. She tells you that you can date another girl if you meet someone, and for however long you want to date them. You ask her if she just wants you both to find someone else to be with, and she says ';I don't know, let's see what happens.'; What exactly is she saying? Is she trying to keep you for a prospect?



Present day: it would take a lot of explaining of how it got to this point, but recently, she got a boyfriend and told me that she only loves me as a friend, she isn't the girl for me, and that she doesn't feel anything romantically for me. She said that I'm sweet, kind, great, and awesome, but she doesn't know why she doesn't feel anything for me, she just doesn't (and I'm tired of this happening to me). She wants me to find someone else. However, I still foolishly have hope. She said she's sorry, and I really mean a lot to her. If you could hear the way we used to talk to each other, you'd understand why I still like her and why I thought she liked me. We would steal each other's words, constantly say the other is so amazing, stuff like that. I know I should move on, but at this stage I have hope that she'll feel something in her heart for me.



start from the bottom. Tell me whether or not I was specific enough here. I was trying to avoid future heartbreak like what I feel now. She says presently that she's holding up her end of the agreement to date other people so she isn't in the wrong. I will soon post a more detailed version of the events leading up to now.





01:19 %26gt; =)



01:19 %26gt; yes it is



01:17 Me%26gt; we're off to a good start anyway, lol. honest communication is key :D



01:14 %26gt; =)



01:14 Me%26gt; right, no pressure



01:14 Me%26gt; well, yeah but still, lol. ok, depending on where we are at the end of the year, is whether or not we get together. :)



01:13 %26gt; *pressure



01:13 %26gt; this way there is no pressue



01:11 %26gt; :P



01:11 %26gt; im not the only girl around you know



01:10 Me%26gt; well I like the idea of just getting together once school let out, lol. but only if it was ok with you and you really wanted to



01:07 %26gt; sound good to you?



01:07 %26gt; yep



01:06 Me%26gt; I'm glad you think that. :) ok, to get things straight: we wait and see if we both find someone else, then when school is out, decide whether or not to get together?



01:03 %26gt; probably amazingly awesome



01:03 %26gt; and i dont know what a relationship with you would be like...



01:03 %26gt; well i dont know why it wouldnt be! i just wanted to clear things up =)



01:00 Me%26gt; of course, why wouldn't it be? also, what do you think a relationship with me would be like?



00:58 %26gt; thats okay though right?



00:55 %26gt; idk, we'll just wait and see what happens



00:54 Me%26gt; i just now saw that ';bad relationship'; message



00:53 Me%26gt; well, what would you prefer happen at the end of the year? do you want us both to find someone else?



00:52 %26gt; of course



00:51 Me%26gt; we should still have some fun beforehand though, of course =) (PRESENT NOTE: you should also know I met this girl on the internet. what I'm talking about here is that we were going to meet each other in person and watch movies at her house before she went off to college, which we did after this convo.)



00:50 %26gt; i'll probably find myself in a bad relationship anyways



00:49 %26gt; =)



00:48 Me%26gt; you're right. yeah, we shouldn't rush, let's just wait and see what happens



00:47 %26gt; well i dont think i will...but you never know what will happen



00:46 Me%26gt; that sounds good. did you change your mind about not finding another guy at college? if so, that's fine, unless you meant something else by ';you don't know where you'll be';



00:43 %26gt; i say we play it cool and see what happens



00:43 %26gt; well thats kinda mean to her...and i don't know where i'll be either



00:43 Me%26gt; the 1st one seems like something that could happen



00:41 Me%26gt; oh ok. but what if I decide in the summer to dump her for you? or if I'm still single?



00:38 %26gt; i mean you can go out with her for however long you want to



00:37 Me%26gt; alright then, I won't =)

I doubt she'd be better than you though, lol. and do you mean I could go out with her until we see each other in the summer?



00:35 %26gt; =)



00:35 %26gt; well don't



00:34 Me%26gt; well, thanks, lol, otherwise I would feel quite guilty



00:33 %26gt; and thats totally cool



00:32 %26gt; haha, yes it will!



00:32 Me%26gt; probably won't happen anyway XD



00:32 Me%26gt; well, I guess, lolWhat is meant to be the purpose of friends agreeing to date other people?
It just sounds so complicated. I wouldn't get into it myself. I don't trust her and I don't think she's being honest. I don't know man.
