Just wondering if anyone has run across this with friends.
A single guy friend, I know will want to meet up for coffee, lunch or dinner always has lots to talk about and a nice time. The minute he starts dating someone, I hear "when are we going to take you to lunch" "when are you going to meet us for coffee". It's nice to have get togethers as couples, but I don't understand how he's not able to meet up by himself once he has a girlfriend ?
Now I run across something else that's similar - a girlfriend I've known a long time, we hardly meet up anymore, she always has to bring her best friend ? Ugh. Now she is a long term relationship and her best friend is married. (So it's not like they're a couple) It just seem kinda weird to me, I have nothing against her best friend but it's not her I care to visit with over coffee, lunch or dinner. I'm thinking of saying to her, are you sure your boyfriend won't mind if he doesn't go out to dinner with us ? Letting her know it's just she and I meeting up.
Of course, if I'm having a dinner party or a party then yes, please bring whoever you want. But I enjoy talking with my friends with just two people or in a larger group setting.
Wondering if anyone else has run across this or something similar.
