Been dating a girl for a while and she keeps pushing for LTR status. She's not too bad and has decent qualities but a glaring issue for me is she has a handful of close guy "friends." These are guys she's been close friends with well before meeting me so it may not be reasonable for me to expect her to drop these people. She said she doesn't cross boundaries with these guys. She said they "catch up" time to time in person and won't go drinking together but will go to dinners or meals. From what I can tell though, they text a lot and sometimes talk on the phone to "catch up".
She's in her early 20s and she says all her friends have close guy "friends." Maybe it's some sort of generational thing where these young people no know boundaries (as more evidence of or society's decay). There's also that study (http://www.scientificamerican.com/articl...t-friends/) that states men are basically all attracted to their female friends and thought that their female friends were attracted to them too but on the female side, the women had no or little attraction to their guy friends and expected the same from the other side (although I'm not sure if I buy this from the female side).
Is this just the way things are now with chicks? Is this a huge recipe for disaster?
