Trust is one thing and your not a player, not to be tempted, in love...

Both having separate friends, equals separate identities, independence a good thing.

But, NEVER, going out with your friends, or you with her friends, as a couple?

That to me would make most women feel that she wasn't good enough to meet his circle of friends.

I don't disagree that you should have me time, or go out with your mates, visa versa.

I don't agree with NEVER... that to me wouldn't make me feel like I was in a committed relationship, rather I was there, in the background.

Ah, well to be entirely honest, I invited her out a couple times and it didn't really work. They didn't click and it ended up bein rather awkward. I invited her out a few months back with a couple of female friends I thought she might get on with, just for coffee together but that didn't really work either. I don't think she knows how to act around me and my pals so I don't particularly wana force it, just best to leave it be.

I've been out with her and her pals a few times and I hang with her flatmates when I'm at hers so it's not so bad that end.

I understand the background thing, I do feel like she's a part of my life that's separate from the rest. In a way I quite like it that way, when we spend time together it's sort of a haven from everyone else.
