He gave me 'permission' (his words, not mine) to start dating. At the time I told him no thanks. If he mentions it again I may say something like: "Hey, maybe I will!" or "Hey, that's something to think about.."
He wants to give you "permission" to date so it'll take the pressure off of trying to maintain the R.
That's not to say that you can't go out and do things with friends, and even enjoy the company of other men. You just might want to be careful what you call it...
