Would you allow him or her???

well ....i allow my girlfriend .....if its just to seeing an old acquaintance......u have to trust ur partner .....then we leave peacefully

Well, if it was truly an old friend, of course I'd encourage him to go :) That would be fun for him. However, if it was someone that my guy had a relationship with in the past, I know myself and I'd be skeptical, probably not especially supportive (I don't like that I have that worrisome trait but I really do). So, what I'd probably do is ask if it would be OK for me to go along and meet this acquaintance (say it was for a lunch or something). If he said sure I could go, I'd thank him and probably wouldn't actually do it :) If he said no or had a million reasons why I wasn't welcome, then I guess I wouldn't be happy about him going at all.

I'd let my girlfriend decide. If she's confident enough that the other person would not come between us and destroy our relationship, then I would trust her and let her go out with old acquaintances. Of course I'll be a bit jealous especially when I'm not invited or allowed to tag along..., but it serves the relationship good to trust each other. Cheers! Happy Posting :)

Yes i will aloow my girlfriend to go out with her long time friend say which was with her right from schools or college days. Whats wrong in that. If my girlfriend really loves me then she cant cheat on me. Its matter of faith and belief and nothing else than that. Even i have some friends, my school friends, and i do realise what relationship childhood and long time friends have, so its ok i think, unless she gives me a chance to find out she is diong something wrong. But i will never tolerate a romantic relationship in between those, for a platoniic relationship, its no problem from my side.

As long as that acquaintance is not his/her ex, or someone who courted her, I dont mind. And as long as I know that person I will allow him to go out. Sometimes its better to let him do what he wants, so there's more things to talk about. I guess Im not that possessive but I admit Im the jealous type :)

If he's seeing an old woman friend I'll say NO! I don't believe in friendly date... going out with same gender is fine with me. No 'heat of the moment' drama whatsoever, of course, unless one of them is gay. Guys will always gonna be guys. All girls to them are 'HOT'! They love you, but what about their brain downstairs? If you're not around, and some girl who must like him (thats why he is her friend) is trying to send an 'i like you a lot' signal, they will gonna forget about you! Well there are some guys who still think using their normal brain, but in general, guys are $lut! They can't be trusted and if they insist of 'she is an old friend of mine' alibi then you should think twice about your relationship. Going out alone is always a DATE! No matter how they call it... and most of the date we know always ends up in you know where. I am not being strict or whatever, I am just being realistic. That guys are born polygamous in nature, so never open the door for them to practice it!

My partner is an adult. I do not "allow" him to do anything, nor do I ask his permission or approval for what I wish to do. If your relationship is solid, having lunch with an old friend isn't going to change that. And if your relationship is not stable, why would you want to keep the relationship?
