Three's a Crowd!

Back when my ex-boyfriend (now my hubby)  and I were still dating in Doha, since I don’t know my way to that hotel where we supposed to meet for the first time (actually it was recommended by a friend) so I asked her to accompany me instead. She has been living in the Middle East for two years so she knew her way around the area.

True enough, (my hubby) at that time arrived too early and like I mentioned from my previous post, I was not really so into him, as I thought Richard more of a brother than a date. 

Anyhow, my friend who happened to recognize him at once, was so excited to meet him and I was thinking of matchmaking the two. (Well this is not the Angela-Tristan-Laurice Operation Match Making story).

So I let them talked instead and it seemed that my friend got smitten by my date lol!

Well at once I felt like it's better to have a graceful exit thus falsely excused myself saying I needed to go to the restroom, yet my date realized that my friend did most of the talking, eventually said,

"hey, how have you been doing? I am really glad to see you!"

Winked at me and pretended to show something from his phone which gave me a signal if we could talk at all. On the other hand I was a bit amused at how their conversation went through while I was a bit busy checking something on my mobile as well. 

At that time I just don't know how to say things in a way that it won't offend my friend or hurt her feeling although I never thought that she would actually sort of "stole' the moment.

My date being a gentleman, managed to say,

" it's really nice talking to you but I came to talk to her!"

Well then, my friend got the message and excused herself properly.  Off she went to check around the place  both of us just sigh, laughing at the same time, saying,

"Three's a crowd!" indeed.

Thanks for reading RCians, would love to know how's your first date went so far? Was it fun?

• If you were on my shoes, how would you deal with the situation?

• If you were my hubby, would you say the same?
