So tonight I have a second date. First one was over breakfast last Sunday. Truth be told, I'm not crazy about her (read: lukewarm) and I get the sense that she feels the same about me.

 

Still, we were gonna meet tonight to watch Antman together, 1 on 1.

 

She texted me about an hour ago saying her girl friend wants to watch it too. And if that's OK.

 

I said it was fine. I didn't want to be controlling or seem like I 'care too much' (which might be interpreted that way had I said no).

 

In turn she said "Great, feel free to bring a guy friend too if that makes you feel more comfortable."

 

So I texted a few friends and surprise surprise, everyone already has plans.

 

So it looks like a case of "Three's Company" tonight, maybe literally in the Jack Tripper vain.

 

I didn't have high expectations going in, and now I really don't. But I'm trying to approach it as a networking opportunity. I suppose it never hurts to meet new people/friends.

 

Something like this ever happen to anyone else, and if so, how did it all play out?

 

BTW one might think "Maybe she's bringing her friend to get a second opinion of you." Possibly, but on a 2nd date? Doesn't sound like it here.

Maybe she is thinking her friend is a better fit for you..

 

Yeah, if she had a romantic interest in you I would say she wouldn't do this no matter how much her friend wanted to see the movie.

 

Go into this with an open mind and just talk to her and her friend. I would suggest you let them pay their own tickets though :)

Yeah I felt the same re: let them pay for their own tickets.

 

It'd be weird to buy for me and my date, but not my date's friend.

 

So it's either pay for all 3 (if you want to win/impress the girl) or pay for just myself. I choose the latter.
