The juggling act live and in living color

Recently, I witnessed a situation reminiscent of almost every bad sitcom I've ever watched that focused on twenty somethings.

While out to dinner with a group of friends a couple of nights ago, one of the guy friends invited one of his female friends to join us. She came and sat down next to him and introduced herself to the group. Obviously she was very interested in the guy. Within about an hour or so, he has invited another female friend of his came along and sat right on the other side of him. She appeared to be interested in him as well. He appeared, initally, to be interested in both of them.

Needless to say, his first friend was visibly upset, switching up her body language and pouting. However, his second friend sat there aloof as if she had no clue what was going on. Eventually, he went to consult with some of his male friends and made his choice for the evening. Let's just say many of the women at the table had never been privy to such an occurrence before.

After everything was said and done, he decided to spend the rest of the evening with girl #2.

Now, when I used to watch these types of situations on television, I used to wonder how the person got away with it and could anyone really be that oblivious. Now, I see.

Have you ever found yourself in such a situation? How did you react? If you've never been in such a situation, how do you think you would react?

obviously for you all who do not understand the topic, it means that you are oblivious chick #2.

That guy is a jerk. If you invite me out- you're with me. It's not ok for you to try to decide who you want to spend your evening with.

I'm sure he was parading the girls in front of his boys so they can pat him on the back. That is NOT ok. No guy is going to make a fool of me!

Ok, I think Raven went into too much detail and rambled a little too much.

That being said, let me break it down simply. A guy invited two dates to the same event. One girl figured it out. The other one didn't. Both girls sat there. He acted cool and decided to hook up with the second date. The end.

To answer the question: I would've been upset and probably left. That's a guy basically playing you right in front of your face.

well 3rd anonymous (or 1 or 2, im not sure) you may have understood but that doesn't mean that the other(s) understand. it made sense & if raven would've kept it short & sweet people would have been complaining that it was too short with no detail. there's no pleasing everyone all the time
