faithful14 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 When you are a bar and you are the wingman/wingwoman, do you think its appropriate when your talking to the friend to omit the fact that you are in relationship? Do you think it would ruin your friends' chance to get with someone if you said that you were in a relationship? Link to comment
Huzzah_89 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 nah. I dont think so. Link to comment
faithful14 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 are you saying no it's not appropriate to omit that you are in a relationship or no it wouldn't ruin the friends chance of scoring if you were to say you were in a relationship? Link to comment
huskiesfan Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I don't think it would matter. It is your friend who is trying to meet someone, not you, so the potential gf/bf should be focused on getting to know your friend, not you. Link to comment
faithful14 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 ok well Im asking because my boyfriend said that if he were to be a wingman for one of his buddies and he got stuck talking to the friend, that it would ruin his buddies chances of hitting it off the girl he's trying to get with (if he were to say he had a gf). Meaning if he were to piss off the friend, his buddies opportunity to score would go out the window. I think that's kind of inappropriate to not say you are in a relationship. I don't see how it would change anything. But he disagrees and thinks that I am overreacting. I don't think I am, but I would really like to hear people's opinion on this. Link to comment
Huzzah_89 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I dont think it would ruin your mates chance of getting with the girl he has got his eye on. Would'nt really matter. Link to comment

Personally, I agree with you. However, I'd leave it alone if I were you. You will most likely not be there should he be performing wingman duties in the future so you will never know what he says. As long as you feel you can trust him, that's all that matters. Link to comment
Xplode Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 if you trust him, then the original question doesnt matter. the fact that he told you. tells you he is honest. props to this guys, sounds like a good b.f and an good mate.. dont overthink, just roll with Link to comment
Unknown1607307972 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think that you should never hide that you're in a relationship if you're playing wingman/wingwoman. Not only does it make things pretty harsh for your partner but it could also direct the people you friend wants towards you instead. Thus backfireing the entire plan. Link to comment
Boughs Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I always tell people I'm in a relationship right off the bat. I don't care about my friend getting laid. If he is smooth enough he'll get it either way. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is he omitting that he's in a relationship or lying about being in a relationship when asked? I don't think he needs to spew it out the first second he starts his wingman duties however if a girl is asking it should be made known for sure. Link to comment

Do you think it would ruin your friends' chance to get with someone if you said that you were in a relationship? I don't say anything personal about me. It's about making my friend look good.

Do you think it would ruin your friends' chance to get with someone if you said that you were in a relationship? It doesn't ruin the chances if they are in a relationship. Because, the job of the wingman is to entertain the other girls who aren't being hit on. Talk to them about movies, books, music. If the girls aren't being entertained, they'll get bored and want to leave (dragging their friend with them). But, if they have some cool guy to talk to, they'll stick around. I think omitting the fact that you are in a relationship isn't fair to your gf and will get you into trouble eventually. Link to comment
savignon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Your boyfriend should be more concerned about his own relationship and "getting lucky" (with you) than about his friend's potential hook-ups. I think he's trying to fend you off with a VERY lame excuse. Just my opinion. Whether or not your relationship reduces his friend's chances of getting the girl is hardly your problem!! Please!!
