Today, I had a date with a guy. We ran into our gay friend at the theater, who insisted on coming along. My date was pissed, but I couldn't turn our friend away. Afterwards, my date texted our friend, mad because he crashed the date. Turns out he isn't gay. And only crashed it because he likes me. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. FML

Today, my good buddy of about two years set me up on a blind date. I got to the meeting point and realized that my date was a guy. My "buddy" honestly thought I was gay. FML

Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

Today, I went on the best date I've been on in years. Later on, over drinks we get talking and I explain how I came out to my friends and family. When I ask him how he came out, he replies that he isn't gay, and oh, did I think this was a date? FML

Today, I was supposed to go on a date with a guy I really like. My friends convinced me that he was going to stand me up and that I should just stay home to avoid being hurt. He showed up; I didn't. My friends laughed at my gullible nature. FML

Today, I went on a Grindr date with a really cute guy. I thought things went really well. When he dropped me off at home, he told me not to text him anymore because his wife might get mad. FML

Today, my girlfriend slapped me and dumped me because she thought I was gay, simply because I had to miss a date because one of my guy friends was in a car accident, and I went to see him at the hospital. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my best friend to go on a date with me. She assumed I meant a double date and squealed, "Who's the lucky guy?!" She thought I was her gay best friend for the past year. FML

Today, I went to a party where I met an amazing guy. After having great conversation all night and what I thought was a serious connection, I leaned in to kiss him. He screamed, forcefully pushed my face away with his hand, and said he was gay. FML

Today, I was set up on a blind date. When I arrived, the person waiting for me was a woman. It appears that my friends have always thought I was a lesbian, and that they 'played along' when I talked about guys. FML

I have to agree with your date it was rude of you to not tell your friend to leave.

If you were on a date, then you should have told your friend that it was nice to see him, but you'd have to hang out with him at another time. It was rude of you to invite someone else along.

I can't really think of a reason why you wouldn't be able to turn your friend away while on a date. In hindsight, though, I could see how he was manipulating you and probably pressured you into accepting his company, but still, grow a backbone.

I would've been mad too, that was really rude of you.

Ok 1. why did you just assume he was gay? and 2. gay or not if you're on a date you don't let people tag along. You were super rude to your date and you deserved whatever awkwardness you felt.

The FML says the OP and the friend are...well...friends. So it isn't an assumption.

I'm sorry, but it was rude on both your parts. Yours for inviting along someone else on your date and his for invading. I can't blame your date for a moment for being pissed. Hopefully you learned a well deserved lesson from this.

Am I the only one here who noticed how OP keeps saying "our" friend? If the date didn't want THE COUPLE's friend to tag along, why did he wait until AFTER the date to say something to him? If it's a mutual friend, either party could have said something. And since the date was obviously more upset about it, it should have been him. It's still a jerk move on the friend's part though.

Notice how it said OUR friend, not just OP's, it was a MUTUAL friend.

1. You didn't know he was not gay, isn't terrible of you. You assumed, and your terrible for putting that guy though that bullshit. And if he lied about being gay, shame on you both. 2. Tell friend off, seriously. You can turn away a friend. It's going to ruin your date, not the friendship to turn them away. priority. 3. You deserve it.
