Why not? Are you accidentally going to have sex after the appetizer?

I think it's more the fact
Dinner = free time = drinks = lower inhibitions for many

Most people don't have that luxury during lunch as they have other priorities still to get to.
Lunches are generally a quick bite to eat and a quick catch up before getting back to what we where doing that day.

It's not so much what me and my friend think about it, but our significant others. We truly don't know excactly what our partners thoughts about the dinner meet up.

Im just avoiding any unnecessary drama.

Sure, we can pull out the trust card and disregard our partners feelings.

My husband has never had a problem with me having dinner with anyone - and I've never had a problem with him having dinner with anyone. We aren't disregarding each other's feelings.

lol. Oh I'm going get crap for this....but here it goes.

A lot of women are naive to think it's just dinner with food. You fail to remember we have 10x testosterone at play here. Lol

Yeah that's something that wouldn't cross my mind.

I guess if I was in the OP's spot I'd still be a little put off. If I were catching up with a friend I would want to bring my SO.

I still don't think it seems that strange though

I think I've usually invited by SO along - but I remember one time when I had dinner with an old friend and brought my ex-fiance. He barely spoke two words the whole time and kind of put a damper on the whole thing. My husband knows most of my friends but works at night and in the evening - so when I lived in the city and would meet up with friends, he usually couldn't come along.

Well, Dew honey, that's you and your hubby. Not everyone is like you and your hubby.
