OT: Would you let your girlfriend....

[notjonahbutnoah]

...be another guy's fake date???

 

Check this sheeit.

 

Prologue:

So a couple years ago I was in a band. I know, csb. 3 piece rocknroll. Drummer (best bud from HS) and I now are the lead and rhythm guitars in my current band. The other dude quit playing for a bit and now is back at it. Waters between he and us were cloudy for awhile but everythig is peachy now. I see him at shows a lot.

 

Nice {censored}in guy. Tall, more overweight than me, and less hair than me. Kind of a loser in school, nerd, but smart and very kind. He's 31 i think, I'm 23, my GF is 21. I like him and I hate a lot of people.

 

Meat:

So anyway, he sends this message on facebook to my girlfriend, talking about how he's going to dinner with some old friends, one of whom he dated briefly and I guess somehow she embarrassed him pretty badly. He is almost always single, like I said, nice dude, but odd and not the prettiest little peach. He wants my girlfriend (of 4 years) to pose as his date when he goes on this outing. They're only going to Olive Garden (classy). That's it. He did mention me in the email, emphasized how important it was that I was cool w/ it etc... She showed me the mail, it was pretty kosher.

 

I've known him for about 6 years. My GF had never met him before she met me, and never in a million years could I see him making a move OR her going for it even if he did. This is the kind of guy you call when you're stranded or need someone to post bail. So what would you do??

 

I, presonally think it's hilarious. It's like the premise for a {censored}ty romantic comedy. I want her to do it and like record the whole thing.

 

I know you can't get a feel for the reality because you don't know him, her, or me, but I dunno, seemed nutty enough to post about. wwYd???? (no, not yngwie)

[Cougar Hunter]

If someone asks you if you're a God, you say "YES"

In this case, I would say "no."

[LoopQuantum]

Nope. Wouldn't do it.

Perceptions, man.

[OverDriven]

That's a bit shady. My answer would be "what the {censored} are you thinking". Be careful about your nice guy friend. He might not be quite as nice as you think.

[PinkSabbath]

No. {censored}ing. Way.

Ever.

I'd be having talks with any of my "friends" that asked my girlfriend out on a "fake" date.

Depends if you have even a grain of trust issues or jealousy in you. If so, then tell her that you're not comfortable with the idea, and that he could hire and escort to do the same thing (maybe even more - lol).

 

 

Myself, I'd offer to come with, and have your girlfriend bring a date for him - make it a 6-way...MAYBE...or have your girlfriend set him up.

 

Either way, he's trying to butt in where he doesn't belong...and he might be laying a sad story to get a sympathy {censored} - that could be his schtick...

 

Roofie-collada...imagine your girl getting knocked up by this guy because she's too scared to tell you that she was knocked out and got knocked up...or whatever.

 

Friends don't let friend be with friends' girlfriends.

[OverDriven]

read the question not the wall of text. dont be stupid.

 

 

This. I have a suspicion that your "friend" has a thing for your girl.

[yourguitarhero]

Charge him $200, cash up front - you go spend it at titty bar while they're on the date.

[NixerX]

No {censored}ing way... unless your into that kinda thing....shew might be.

[Murdoch]

Not a chance in hell, mang. Too much could go WAY wrong.

[Dr.Picklebottom]

the way you were describing yourself and this guy- the answer is no. thats some 6th grade stuff. if the only reason shes sticking around is because youre less fat and bald then, well...

youre way too insecure for something like that.

[Soundstorm]

I am suspicious that he approached HER first about it, instead of you. I'd be suspicious he has a thing for her.

 

How well do we know anyone, really?

 

Besides, it could just cause complications down the road. The other dinner guests will have questions. Many lies will have to be prepared.

Wow, that's kinda sadly hilarious. Seriously though, why didn't he contact you first and have you talk to your GF? I doubt anything shady is going on here, I mean, really, but still, that's an odd way to go about it.

I'd just say no. I mean, if he's coming up with wacky hijinks he should at least let you in on it!

Or:

1)Say yes
2)Secretly film the whole night
3)???????????
4)Profit!

This is the straw that's gonna make me say no. Anytime someone wants to be in, there're troubled waters ahead... usually.

Alright, I must admit, I was prolly gonna say yeah, out of fasciation more than anything, but ya'll is right, just too {censored}ed up. You've done a good job highlighting all the potential issues.

Ok, feet on the ground again. Continue with your lives. Thanks.

For funsies, here's an almost impossible to see image of up playing together a few years ago:

me being the shorter

[GodlykeHQ]

When my chick is in college, she was at the library finishing up a paper due that night. She told me about this guy, who literally picked up a random book off the table that someone left behind, and sat down right next to her to pretend like he's flipping through it.

Now she's furiously writing this paper, and here's this dorky guy, pretending to have swagger and asks "so what you working on?" Come on dude, if you're gonna hit on some dude's girl, gotta have better timing than that!

When she tells him that she's working on a paper and it's due in 2 hrs (as a nice way of saying "go away" ), he tries even harder offering to proofread it, saying he's "really good at papers." I can't help but think this was his best pick-up line he could come up with...She declines, citing the impending deadline.

He stays quiet for a few minutes, then interrupts her again saying "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you just have SUCH a beautiful face." My chick isn't amused, but she stays polite and thanks him quickly to get back to her work. He says some other crap til she finally gets blunt and tells him she has a boyfriend. She's the type of girl that's so nice, that she doesn't want to make you feel awkward by knocking you on your ass by telling you she's taken.

So he starts asking her about me! How long we've been together, how we met, if she loves me, etc. After all that, he asks her out for coffee. She kindly reminds him again "Sorry, but I have a boyfriend." to which he responds.....

"But come ooooonnnn, I'm a nice Jewish boy!"

....best....pickup....line....EVER!

She's telling me all this in real time by the way. Talking to me on AIM, telling me all this as he's saying it. And I'm cracking up.

But he's got awesome creeper skills, and sees her name at the top of her paper, and says "So, K----- P----, is it ok if I friend you on facebook?" She obviously says no, but he relents asking 3-4 more times. After getting annoyed she says "FINE!" and he thanks her, says bye and nice meeting you, then walks away.

She comes home, slightly embarrassed and worried I might be mad that he's probably going to facebook her. I look at her and say...."You'd BETTER go on that coffee date that he offered, and bring me along...I want to be the third wheel!"

I had this picture in my head of her sitting down at a table, then me purposely sitting on the opposite side, forcing him to sit next to her. It would've been fairly epic. Sadly...he never added her, so I didn't have an opportunity to create the most awkward date on earth.

Sorry if this was TL;DNR, or CSB, but you have to admit. His pickup lines were pretty damn hilarious, even if you're Jewish (especially if you are, maybe?) That is of course, unless you've used that line before.

[Marshredder]

Nope, just being put in a situation where normally there would be an attraction causes the brain to perceive one.

I let my wife do what ever she wants. As a boyfriend/husband , we dont have the right to TELL our spouse what they can or cant do. That only creates resentment in my opinion. Shes a big girl and can make her own decisions.

[GCDEF]

All other issues aside, it sounds like a pretty awkward evening. They've never met and they'd be faking it at dinner. What's the point? Craigslist and $100 ought to get him some kind of dinner date.

[Sheik_Yerbouti]

A couple of problems here.

1. He asked HER about it before asking YOU if it would be OK. HUGE foul, although I suppose it could be attributed to his apparent lack of social experience & etiquette, but he really should've come to you with his little plan first. I would at the very least make sure he understands this for future reference.

2. MASSIVE potential for EPIC embarrassment for not only him, but also your girlfriend, and by proxy, you, should this little charade be seen straight through (highly likely unless he's already concocted a complete fictional backstory about how, when and where they met, family info, etc., which would in and of itself be quite disturbing if he had), and could ultimately ruin your friendship with him and cause friction with your woman.

3. Would you REALLY be helping him and be a TRUE friend by assisting him in deluding himself and these other people with this little stunt? Maybe it would be best just to tell him to learn to be happy with himself and actively help him develop his self-confidence so that he can find an ACTUAL woman of his own.

It's your call, man, but it really does look like a cluster{censored} disaster of epic proportions in the making if you ask me.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
