Help me out here. Okay, I hang out with a group of girls who've been friends since before grade school. They often do sickening cutesy stuff like sit on each others laps or hold each other. This, of course, has no kind of connotations and is more like family than anything else.
Problem is, they often try to include me in this stuff. Couple of problems with this: I'm a dude, I'm old fashioned (meaning I'd be the old dude who says you're dancing too close together), and I'm not really into people other than family or girls I like touching me. When they sit on my lap, I'm pretty sure they're just trying to include me in the fun. Unfortunately, I see the activities in a different light.
I usually bail out when this kinda shit happens so that I can avoid a) an embarrassing situation or b) being that dick who doesn't want to have fun.
What's the right thing to do in this kinda situation? When someone who you're 99% sure doesn't like you 'in that way' is doing something that you consider inappropriate for a friendship?
Platonic lap sitting.
