Don't go out socially in the evening with people who are likely to get drunk and drag you into compromising situations. If you must hang out with such people, go to lunch or coffee with them.

I would have talked to the guy "hey listen, we don't know you, and this is nothing personal, but you could be a serial killer or something.. How about we meet you there? Oh and my GF is pretty drunk, and I'm responsible for her. If she asks to ride with you can you send her back inmy direction?"


I've done similar things with no problem, most guys understand this.

OP still sounds really really angry.

I thought this woman was freshly widowed and not interested in having sex/dating at the moment? Strange grieving behaviour indeed.

I'm over my anger. As mentioned, we talked and hashed things out. I don't stay mad.

So do you still want to date her once she is "ready"? I would say that jealousy played a major role in your overreaction. Perhaps you should apologize?

Apologize for what? Not allowing her to get in a car with a total stranger? Drunk and vulnerable at that?

I was wondering why your reaction was so extreme. It does seem the backstory is an influence.

How about apologizing for losing your temper and not handling the situation more diplomatically? It seems that she apologized and you kept haranguing her, according to your description of that conversation. I think you are holding on to this because you feel humiliated and jealous.

Time to do what you said you would. If she gets involved with other guys, the friendship is over. You indicated that was your plan, so perhaps you should follow through, for your own mental health?

When your friend is sober you talk to her. Trying to reason with a drunk is pointless. Sometimes being a friend is putting up with a friend's dumb behavior. If it's not a usual occurrence, I'd tell her why you're miffed & then drop it.
