Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

Why didn't you tell her you wanted it to be just her? Could have solved a lot of problems.

To me it sounds like your girlfriend is using you! Explain to her how you felt about what happened and see if you can go out again? (if she will apologize!)

should have just excused yourself and walked out after your meal.

What kind of restaurant can't seat 5 together?

McDonalds around here has maximum 4 seats to a table.

Maybe when asked how many there were, someone answered 4 because they forgot he was there. That would force him to sit at a different table.

you might want to review/renegotiate your relationship I think

"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends Make it last forever, friendship never ends" ***Okay, so it's not what you planned. Maybe she didn't know about your romantic intent. What happened after dinner? Hanging out with some of her friends (for what-- an hour, maybe two?) could have gotten her in a great mood! Now take her back to your place and close out the night! Oh, and of course, clue her in so that shit doesn't happen next time!

Communication is the key! Tell your girlfriend how this felt, if she doesn't think it's a problem then find someone else who appreciates you. Take it from a guy who learned the hard way, relationships have to go both ways :)

I wish I knew how old the OP is... I have a feeling around 14

There's no excuse for alienating you by having you move to another table. You need to talk to your girlfriend directly about this kind of behavior. She should have wanted you next to her. I would have been livid with her. There no consideration for you. FYL

Time to move on. She's just not that in to you

Does this happen often? I've never wanted to bring my friends along to dinner with my boyfriend, just because I enjoy spending time like that alone with him. Perhaps she just isn't that interested in you, OP :(

Quit whining OP. Your GF's just not that into you!! Face the cold reality that your love life is a bad meal at a separate table. Forever!
