Funny - I had a similar experience...I was going out with a young
woman for a few months during my freshman year at college (UCSD)
and one evening we were getting rather intimate and she sort-of
pushed me away and said "I'm getting married this summer."  To which,
as you might expect, my response was "SAY WHAT?" 
	The tale that unfolded was that she had been engaged to
a person in San Francisco (remember we're in San Diego at the
time) and that they both wanted to have other relationships
in the meantime.  They planned on getting together for real
and getting married that summer.

	Not being an overly noble person, I tossed her clothes
(er, her shoes!) to her and asked her brusquely to put them on.
I then walked her to her car and told her to not bother me any
more.  
	It took me a long time to get over the feeling of being
a 'toy' rather than a real person having a real relationship.
