Necris Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 By third wheel I mean your friends have dates/relationships and you don't, and their girl becomes part of the friendship so you end up being that guy hanging out with the couple. Fifth wheel is the same except with you hanging out with 2 couples instead of 1. To me I sometimes feel awkward in these situations, but shouldn't I be used to it by now, since this is regular for me, as in for as long as I can remember having friends that have girlfriends this has been the case which is years.

LoveRefreshed Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I was a 5th wheel once at a camping trip. As it turned out, the only thing that made it awkward was making out and more with my friends gf now wife while he watched and watching my other friend **** his girlfriend while I jerked off until she came over and finished me. And I don't even think it is that awkward, we're all still friends 10 years later, and he is married and the other friend split with that gf a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites

LoveRefreshed Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 lol, I was quite surprised by the evening myself. Nothing like a **** ton of booze, a doobie, and some truth or dare amongst friends for a strange night. I must say that the two guys and I were friends since the age of 10, and at that point we were 22, and now I am 30. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Depends on how close you are to the couple. It can be awkward but it can be fun if it's once in a while. What are you supposed to do, stop socializing because you are single? That's silly 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LoveRefreshed Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Not to mention that you now have four wingmen to help you. Women are the best allies in getting other women (most of the time). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So you beg your friends to set you up on a date? Not beg. Ask. When you are out with the couple(s) you casual mention you be open to being introduced to new people & ask if they know anyone. Women love to set up their BF's buddies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LoveRefreshed Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So you beg your friends to set you up on a date? Where did you read that? I said wingmen and allies, I didn't say I beg them for dates. Examples would be that all 5 of us go out, and I meet a girl and bring her over. Girls can read other girls easy (I think) and they will give you great advice or say the right things at the right time to make you look good. And sometimes yes, the women will bring their girl friends along and totally try to hook you up. I have never asked a woman to set me up with another woman, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Let alone, even if they don't try to set you up, they will have lady friends. "Birds of a feather flock together". The only reason I stay friends with some girls that reject me is for their flock.

ZA Dater Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So you beg your friends to set you up on a date? I can relate to the initial post, for years it never really bothered me, mostly because I don't have too many friends to begin with but lately it has started to bother me massively to the point where I actually wont go to events where I am "the guy without a date". Sounds pathetic but I just end up feeling increasingly miserable so I don't bother going anymore. I did go to one a few weeks ago but felt so awkward I actually ended up feeling anxious which isn't a good thing. As for friends setting you up, that isn't a bad idea in theory, if you have a nice group of friends there is never any harm in asking for help HOWEVER my experience doing this suggests be sure your friends actually set you up with people you can realistically get on with and may actually have a chance at dating.

PapaG Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I guess the question is do you really want a girlfriend or be in a relationship of your own? Link to post Share on other sites
ZA Dater Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I guess the question is do you really want a girlfriend or be in a relationship of your own? I think most of us perpetually single people here would like one but not if it means accepting the fact we cant get what we like. Link to post Share on other sites
