(As you know!) And damn baby, I'm glad to see you've said yes. If she knows what's up, she won't have any unreal expectations. Or she'll start to think she's the one that can change your mind. I'm sorta interested in what the flags are, however, but that's another story for another day. It's ok to be that guy sometimes, because it does wonders for all involved. :) Well I just got back from a week long adventure of the same nature! (As you know!)

Seeing how I told her "just platonic, ok" when we started talking awhile back we should be cool. The trip is tentatively planned for the first weekend in June. Hi Debra - By "that guy" I mean those who just sleep around without any level of commitment. I am not interested in just gaining notches on my bed post...I'd like to think I have some morals and a bit of character depth. That is what I meant. However my ego loves the idea that I am "that guy" who ladies would want to be with... especially those that have already been there. Nice to think...just not wise to always act. Who knows...maybe Tonya is right...I should stop over thinking things...It is hard I am an analyst by nature and trade. Stay tuned to the blogs after that weekend. Ok – It is on.

Go. It will be good for. You need a break from the mundane every day, you deserve some fun and companionship. You'll come back refreshed, and a better parent for it. Besides, folding laundry is easier when you're not so horny! ;) By ‘that guy’ do you mean the guy these women can text when they just want some……I’m sure the male and female perspectives on ‘that guy’ are totally different, I wonder what ‘guy’ it is that you don’t want to be thought of as?

Sometimes, it just feels good to have company. Don't feel bad about it. Keep communication open and then just enjoy yourselves. There's no need to analyze the hell out of it!! GO HAVE FUN!

I think it's ok to go with it - I mean go on the trip - as long as you are absolutely clear with her as to what the trip means to you. Oftentimes women are also "that guy" and are horny single moms cooking the dinner... They are also looking for fun, a friend, a bit of sex... and if it works out: great! If not, a fun trip. I did that when I was newly single. I dated a guy who lived in Israel (I live in NYC!). I would only see him about once a month. I had no idea what would happen. But, I wasn't looking for anything "big" at that point, he and I totally clicked, and figured a chance like that (meeting someone you connect with) does not come along very often. We went to California for 5 days. It was great. We've since broken up (he couldn't stand to be so far away from me. What can I say? ;) ) but are still friends. But, like I said - DO make sure it's clear to her where you're at & how you see the trip.
