third wheel

She brings a third wheel
This is a completely unfair trick that women will play if they either don't like you or aren't yet sure that they do. They'll invite a friend along to help size you up or to take the pressure off of her having to talk to you.
Say you make a date to meet a lovely young lady for a drink, and when you show up, there's another guy chatting with her. Or one of her girlfriends is there keeping her company. This is always a most unwelcome intrusion and a strong signal that you should get out of there. At worst, it could degenerate into a two-way conversation, with you as the odd man out!

As soon as you see that she's not alone, say that something came up and you need to cancel. There's nothing to regret about making this move -- you're not on a date if there's a third wheel!

does this really mean anything, or she might be just too shy?

A date is between me and her. If she brings her friend without asking, she's getting stood up, end of story. But, if she asks to bring a friend, and I say sure, then you accept the rules. You could just say no to that question too, but whatever you want.

Now..if her friend is still there, but persay...sitting at another table, 'spying' as you will between me and my date, then fine, as long as she doesn't interfere. But..at the end of the night, she's laughing hard and everything, totally into me, and takes her 'checkup' break, and comes back in a totally different off mood, she's nexted. Sure, we both played the game. I played guy, she played girl with a spy, she said no, I say go ho!

1) The reason a women would bring a third wheell is for her friend to check if your an okay guy. Its qualifier test.

2) The other reason being that she just met you and doesnt totally trust you and just wants to make sure your not a psychopath serial killer.

I usually don't mind as it sets up my chances to bone the 3rd wheel.

I've only had one girl I asked on a date bring a girlfirend with her. Had it of been a guy, I would have found that simply unnacceptable. Anyway I showed up and she introduced me to her friend who was convineintely there for some BS reason and said she was gonna tag along with us if that was okay with me. I was caught off guard but not too shaken and agreed.

We all went to get a drink and I excused myself to go to the rest room where I called up one of my show stopper friend (who's admittly a little wild and open) to occupy the friend and he showed up quick. I pulled the same sh*t she did on me and acted supprised when I saw him rolling by. She called me on MY sh*t and her and her friend took off. My friend and I stayed and got drunk while I *****ed for about 30 mins.

F*ck that sh*t man. If you met a girl at some point face to face in an open setting and you ask her on a date, the date should just be between the two of you. Why give me your number or agree to the date if you didn't some what trust that I was a normal individual? I'll never waste my time on gutless women who need self appointed chaperones for a first date. No guts no glory is a two way street.

If it's a girl, become friends with her.

If it's a guy, become friends with him, but be the AMOG. Someone watching will think you are friends, but you will really be making him your *****. Make him want to qualify himself to you, he'll look like a dumbazz.

Lol, you eject when its not one on one. Unless you met her online, or its a blind date kinda thing, in which case she's there for security.

I had a circumstance similar that I posted a while back. I went to hang out with a chick.,.. was meant to be one on one.... her friends showed up... 3 girls, 4 guys.... I left lol. It was bull****.

That was a waste of my time, my time is precious, if she is going to waste it by bringing a friend, then she doesn't deserve my time... unless we're doing somethign expensive and she's paying... I'll take the free ride and then never call her again anyway lol.
