I had a woman bring a friend to a date. She texted me shortly before-hand that her friend was around, and I was like “…okay, I guess.” Her friend said hello, and then went and sat in another part of the bar.
But the real kicker was when she revealed that she doesn’t even live here. This was in NYC. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She just lied on her profile. I’ve had dates with people who were just visiting (fond memories of weekend of debauchery with nice lady from the UK!), but they were up front about it.
Anyway, it was bad all around, but at least the bartender was sympathetic.
I mean bringing the friend is absolutely fine, especially if she doesn’t know you, honestly I’m surprised the friend even made her presence known, should’ve stayed hidden. If you’re a creep, you’re more likely to reveal that if you don’t know you’re being watched.
As far as being from a different place, that does seem like a dick thing to leave out if you’re using Tinder whilst traveling, but I guess I don’t know etiquette there. Though maybe she just got a bad vibe and used that as an excuse to end it.
I’ve gone on hook up dates where I brought a friend (for safety- the friend left after initial greetings), and I’ve gone on hook up dates where the other guy brought a friend for the same reason. No shame. It was totally cool, and we even mentioned it beforehand. this was not uncommon in the late 90s - early 00s.
In fact, I haven’t heard of someone doing it in a while, so I was a little surprised to see someone else asking about it.
