He Walked Out Of A Date After The Girl Showed Up Unexpectedly With A Friend
The dating world can be a scary place, especially for women. So, when hopeful singles go out on first dates nowadays, they may share their location with friends or call afterward to check-in.
However, would you ever bring a friend on a first date with you for safety purposes?
This 27-year-old man recently encountered the same situation after meeting a woman online, and he wasn’t thrilled about it.
For some context, he matched with her on Tinder, and they agreed to go out on a date on Saturday. He invited her to get food and drinks, and they settled on meeting at a cafe in public.
“And she shows up with a friend of hers who’s, to be fair, more attractive than herself,” he recalled.
Anyway, when he saw both of them together, he questioned what was going on. At that point, his date claimed to have brought a friend “just to be more comfortable,” if he didn’t mind.
He seemingly did mind, though, and made that pretty clear to his date.
“I thought this was a date since I specifically asked if you would like to go out for food and drinks with me?” he asked.
In response, his date suggested that her friend basically just wanted to tag along for “security reasons.” That really rubbed him the wrong way, and he fled the cafe.

“I’m not doing a three-person date. Sorry, have a good one,” he said before walking out.
He currently has a busy schedule with nearly no free time, and he’s genuinely looking for a serious partner. He never wanted to have one “fun night” or get involved in a situationship.
According to him, his profile directly stated his intentions, too, saying that he was “looking for something serious and long term.”
Yet, obviously, either something got lost in translation, or his date still felt the need to protect herself. And now, he’s been left wondering whether leaving after she showed up with a random friend completely unannounced was a jerky move or not.
“Is it normal to bring a friend on a date, or am I just behind with the times?” he asked.
Couldn’t the woman’s friend have sat at a different table if she wanted to observe as opposed to literally joining the date? Would you find this off-putting?
