We can't be all things to all people all the time. There was no connection on her part, she tried to handle it the best she could. Forget it and move on, there really is nothing here to over analyze. It's as plain as the nose on ones face. | |

Maybe she didn't like that you mispelled instrument? lol -You shouldn't have let yourself get into that kind of situation. First instance she said a friend is coming to hang out, I would have looked for a way out myself. Have more confidence in yourself next time. | |

| She brings her friend on the date. Posted: 9/28/2008 1:14:19 PM | I met this one guy a while back. After lovely conversations on the phone we decided to finally meet up. I even ASKED would you like to make it a double date since we had mutual friends that were in a relationship so it would be a little easier and less stress in getting to know someone and he said no, he was shy but he felt he was ok to meet me and get to know me with just us. I was fine with that.
I get there the day of our meet up which was about a week later and the dipstick decided to bring his buddy along. I make a point of saying " Oh, I wished I knew you were going to bring your friend I'd've brought mine too since I just got off the phone with her and she said she didn't have any plans." His friend felt out of place after that and even offered to go check out some things while we sit and chatted a while. I took full advantage of this situation and said no feel free to sit with us and have some coffee (we were in a coffeehouse). I treated and the friend and I were laughing and talking away and the guy that was Supposed to be my date just sat there only to say snidely to me when his friend went to the restroom. "You can talk to ME now!"
I wasn't ignoring the date guy. His friend just was more of a talker and I like guys who can have a good dialogue. Plus I dont like cowards or liars and guys who just like to "observe" while their friends do the talking or judging. That's childish.
Why should I suffer? Not My Problem. If you're gonna move on. . You might as well go out with a blown kiss.  | |

| She brings her friend on the date. Posted: 9/28/2008 4:28:40 PM | My guess is that she immediately wanted a bail-out and called her friend from the bathroom to come over to the bowling alley. She then made up the story of her friend being already invited.
Scenario 2: She doesn't trust her own judgement with guys and she brought her friend in to judge you. It was her intent to query her friend after the date and get her take on you before continuing the dating process.
Advice: If she brings in even one friend then stop buying drinks or paying for anything more than your own drinks and/or games. Just because you have a penis doesn't mean that you have to demonstrate your ability to pay everyone's way. | |

| She brings her friend on the date. Posted: 10/3/2008 1:11:35 AM | This is a thread that is right up my alley. When I lived in Albuquerque my best friend and I often set up dates that we invited to our regular Friday happy hour drinks. This made it a very informal meeting, not a "date" date (please, I know, but don't get on me about the phrase please) and the guys were always forewarned. If we hit it off, a second date could always be arranged. We would also had guys who would fly from out of town to meet us on occassion. We usually set up the first dinner date with the other along, joking to the guy that he had to "meet the family". No, he didn't have to pay for dinner. Meeting with each other along on the 1st date served multiple purposes. First of course, is the safety issue of having a friend know who it was that just flew to meet you. (It's a big step since there has definitely been more than casual interest by the man shown.) Secondly, we joked with each other that if the guy was a total bore/@hole at least we would have fun in each other's company. Third, and rather important when explained to the guys, was that they got to see the real person. You can't put on airs or be phony in front of your best friend, especially her. If I ever would have tried to be pretentious she'd have laughed in my face! Funniest incident with an out-of-towner: He steps off the plane clearly revealing to me that his posted pix were 15 years old if not more. OK, I said silently, brace yourself, this is gonna be a bumpy ride. We went to the restaurant to meet her and throughout the whole ride he asked about real estate values. Oookay... When she saw us approach the table she stifled a laugh and was very gracious with only a few eye-rolls between us. That is, until he asked her if she noticed that he'd had hair plugs! Seriously guys, you can tell they're plugs! They do not look natural. They look like hairy blackheads all over your scalp. She politely said no, she hadn't noticed. FF: He was a total bore all weekend (talked about investing in properties) and the highlight was dinner with my friend. Especially since I didn't have to describe those hideous plugs to her. Happy fishing all!
Rock on.

Posted: 10/10/2008 4:05:55 PM | Tell you the truth, if she told you out of the blue that her friend was showing up, then you must have disappointed her from the get go. Looks like she drove the both of you to the bar so she felt obligated to hang out with you for a little while. She doesn't think it will be fun alone with you so she called her friend to the rescue.
Again, why would you complain on this website if you met her from a different website? | |
