A lovely date for three?
by Mr. New to Denver on Feb.03, 2010, under Dating & Women
I was talking to a friend from back home the other day. She is newly single and just started dating. We were talking about some weird dating experiences we’ve each had She mentioned she recently went out with this guy and he brought his younger brother along.
Who would ever think to bring someone along on a date? I’m not referring to having extra tickets to a sporting event, or concert and inviting friends and a date. I’m talking about inviting someone along for a quiet cocktail or dinner.
Unless I am specifically double dating I try to avoid running into friends the first few dates I’m on with a girl. I find it is much better if she meets my sketchy, scumbag friends after we’ve been dating a little while. You all know who you are.
What about bringing an ex on a date? I’m not referring to an ex whom you now have a strictly platonic relationship with. That’s fine and normal. But what about an ex that still has feelings for you?
I have friend who was performing in a dance recital and her boyfriend brought his ex-girlfriend. His ex girlfriend who still had feelings for him. This is much weirder and even more inappropriate than bringing along a sibling. In this person’s defense it was supposedly the ex’s last weekend in town before she moved cross country, but still all you are really doing is upsetting both women.
