Sooooooo my friend had a hinge date... and y’all I was a third wheel.

We suspected it might be a wild ride but didn’t know it would be as crazy as it ended up being.

(A thread!) Female friend is talking to the guy... “James” for almost a week. However today he sends her a barrage of texts asking for a date... she agrees and says a time and place.

His response “forgot to say ‘please’ & ‘if you don’t mind’ lol”

Red flag for meeeee (so I tag along)
