I'm a little confused by what she means about "fooling around." Does it speak ill of me to also suggest, if by "fooling around" she's talking about making out, etc., that maybe this guy is just sexually frustrated and doesn't so much want to date her as to fuck her because they've been "fooling around" and with adults that tends to lead to other things?
Maybe today it's different, but by the time I was college age, I had no interest in having a relationship with a man in which I was just "fooling around." Either you want to be strictly friends or you want to have an adult intimate relationship. "Fooling around" is what teenagers do because they are afraid to or don't want to do anything else because it is thought to be a no-no.
