So I've had this LTR for about a month, maybe two. She's really fine, probably a 8.5-9 on looks, but also has all the qualities for a good LTR (excellent cook, perfect personality, not insane, etc.), so I really want to keep her if I can.
I'm on a "seduction double date" with a buddy. I've done this several times, and as long as the wing is competent, you can help each other seduce your dates. This is my first time out with this guy, so already I'm feeling kinda iffy about him and how good he is. Then during the conversation, he drops about me being a pick up artist, and being so great with the ladies. He starts making me out to be some sort of a pick up god, (which I'm obviously not, just shows how bad HE is). It's not even like he was drunk or anything--we were playing mini-golf. He just thought it would impress the girls.
Needless to say, I will never see HIM again...
So I talk with HB9. Tell her that my "friend" is obviously giving the wrong impression. But I have a strict "no lying about big stuff with LTRs" policy. I've been telling her and joking around with her that there have definitely been other girls, so she's moderately prepared for this. I'm just afraid she will now interpret this as me gaming her, and she's just another test subject.
I told her I would talk about it with her later, and she seemed comfortable, and glad that I'd been forthcoming with this. We've been texting back and forth for a couple days, and all seems the same (as well as one can tell from texts). I'm meeting her tomorrow for a quick lunch.
-Have any of you guys fallen to this same, or similar situation of being "exposed"?
-I don't want her to get the wrong idea, so how should I present the ideas to her?
-Is the damage this guy did irreparable? Am I always going to be stuck as "that man whore" in her mind, like he made me out to be?
-Is there any special way I should continue to interact with her so that she doesn't think I'm pulling "routines" or "lines" on her? Any certain way I should be interacting with other women in front of her, since her "radar" will be out more?
Thanks, guys. As always, any help is much appreciated.
