The extra person on a date

Safina Mwiza says having friends around during a crazy night with her guy is the greatest moment because she feels more comfortable with friends than when alone. She completely comes out of her shell and there won’t be any awkward moments. However, when some guys have just started dating a lady, they don’t like a group thing the first couple of times neither would the ladies like a guy who brings his pals on a date. How can you begin to get to know someone with an audience of strangers around? It would feel as though it was an audition. For safety, incase it’s your first date, it’s always good to tell at least a friend or relative but not carrying them along. Being nervous is no excuse for bringing a friend on a date. If you’re that concerned for your safety, meet in a highly public place. It’s never cool but lame to go on a first date with a bunch of friends. Currently its trendy tagging along with friends on a crazy night out but the worst scenario is when they don’t foot their bills. At times awkward situations could arise most especially if the person who invited you had limited funds for just the two of you. dorau20@yahoo.com
