Using a friend as a safety net?
Okay, so I was talking to my buddy and he was telling me how girls sometimes use their friends as a safety net. Like for instance, a guy asks a girl to go to the mall, but she's not really feeling the guy, and instead of saying no, she brings a friend. Similar to the wingman tactic, but in reverse. That way the friend can make up an excuse for why they have to leave or something.
I had never considered this, but it seems to make sense. My buddy kinda dropped some doubt into my mind also. I asked a girl to come over to my apt one time, and she brought a friend. She never mentioned her friend, so I had no idea she was coming, and now when I think back on it, I'm wondering if that was a safety net or something. On the other hand, a while back ago, one of my roommates had commented to my friend that she should bring over some friends sometime (we don't know many girls in this town).
Anyone ever do this, or is my buddy full of shit, or what?
