writes:Just wondering on the general perception of ettiquite in this scenario.If you're out partying at a club with just one friend, and someone tries to hook up with you, is it acceptable to just casually make out with them while your friend just chills on their own? Are you obliged to try to find them someone to make out with also, or let them fend for themselves? Is there any kind of social protocol for this topic?I recently had a night out with a friend that I hadn't been out with for a while. In the past she'd hook up with guys while we were out together, but that was a few years ago. When I was in that position (with a decently attractive guy hitting on me) it just felt kind of weird with her being on her own, so I ignored the guy. But was then reminded that in the exact same situation, my mate would have just gone for it - has gone for it - regardless of taking me into concideration. Just curious on peoples opinions.

She stopped to chat with him and they ended up talking for about half an hour!!! while I stood there by myself in the middle of the club, looking and feeling like a complete idiot. I interrupted them a couple of times to ask her "can we go now" and she kept saying "in a minute". Afterwords, in the taxi, instead of apologizing to me, she dared to complain about me interrupting them! Needless to say, I'm not friends with that b**** any more, thank god.

 This is a tough one....it isnt great to leave a friend alone to make out with a guy, after all you have gone clubbing together so to leave her alone is a bit harsh!
But then again you could argue it the other way, that if you are both single chances are you have gone clubbing to meet guys, so if one of you meets a guy there is no reason not to go for it!
Maybe if you talk to her about it before you go clubbing next time that might help? You could just have a little agreement between you or something, that if either of you meets a guy you are happy for that person to make out with the guy, as long as you go home together or something like that.
I hope this helps and good luck!

 You do as you please and let the friend fend for herself. She's old enough to buy alcohol, then she's old enough to be on her own. You're out together as FRIENDS, not as a baby sitter.
