I was first going to joke "tell her you are a gay, and that you thought she is too", but: Why don't you simply say you don't want to get too intimate due to your girlfriend? If she can't understand that, only then flash the "gay Hitler"-card.

And tell her that her printer sucks. No, I won't get rid of my printer fixation, it's hilarious.

Oh, that's horrible. :-) I don't know about the OP, but I hate it when people do this. I'll be casually talking to some girl and she'll toss in the "boyfriend card" when it's completely unnecessary. It's a bit insulting, really, because it comes off like "I am a female and you are a male; thus you must be attracted to me so I'm going to pointedly let you know that I'm unavailable."

True, in this situation the friend already knows, but still, "casually mentioning your girlfriend at every topic" would probably be just as annoying.

Yeah, I agree, this irritates me. I don't care how many skeevy chodes hit on you, don't flatter yourself cupcake. Yeah, I said it.

:-P This reminds me of a Gordon Lightfoot song.

I dread to think what this thread will turn into if a GOG staff member posts here, Judas, Gdoc and T, don't you dare, you hear me?

Suggest a ménage à trois.

But with who? Didi or Zii?

I live in "Fitzgerald" territory. By that I mean we are a 100 or so miles from where she sunk alas there is a A LOT of Fitz stuff around here and we have to keep a copy of that song on deck because a lot of folks expect to hear it when they stay here.

There is one pretty forceful way of 'playing the girlfriend card', but I suspect that someone who doesn't want to buy a printer might not want to buy a ring either.

At any rate, any action you don't explain frankly is going to be scrutinised for possible meanings/motives. (Actually, so is any action you do explain frankly, and so is the action of explaining, but at least there you take some decent initiative.) Spontaneously trying to break off contact, whether gently/gradually or abruptly, may just confuse her and lead her to try to find out why, and when that gets ignored things tend to get very messy. It's generally best to be frank.

Explain the situation to your girlfriend; she'll buy you a printer.

Where? Bizzaro World?

The most rational solution I can think of is to go through sex reassignment surgery. Either that, or steal her printer.

^This.
Something along the lines: "Listen, I don't know whether I misjudge you completely. But recently I've got the impression that you wish for more than a friendship. I really like you, and if I understood everything wrong, I am sorry. But I just have to say it so that everything is clear. I have a girlfriend as you know and I am happy with her. So you and I can not be anything more than good friends. I am sorry if this hurts you, but that's the way I feel."


Edit: Or if you have some good looking male friend, you could hook her up with him. ;-)

HAHAHA, I was reading also trying to understand the situation but whe I got to that very same part I bursted into laughing...........is that wrong? : P
And now I just roll on the floor :D

Well, that's a slightly different situation! Different arsenal for different encounters :)
