First off, there’s a lot of people expressing common sense in this thread. Thank you.

Gives me hope for humanity.
Secondly, dude was weird as hell. She came to meet you. Not Coolie and the Gang. Even tho I think it’s a sweet cool show of friendship and solidarity, couldn’t the crew have just dispersed and met up with him later?!

I know men who won’t approach women when they with their friends, stating they like to thin the herd to ensure success. If some dudes understand how uncomfortable it can be for them to approach women in a group, how much more uncomfortable would a woman be where she is being forced to go on a date with your entire crew they first time ya’ll link up?! Who doesn’t have the situational awareness or social acumen to understand this stuff!
Thirdly, one of the homies was recording?! What kind of shyt is that?

So not only am I dating five dudes when I said I was just meeting you, but now I’m being recorded too?!


Why?
All that being said, I hope he can bounce back. Anything could have been the actual reason she didn’t wanna meet. He doesn’t need to internalize the rejection as being his fault because she could have been flaky anyway.
However, he does need to be a lil reflective in the future too.
