'I wore a short dress when meeting my friend's boyfriend

Jan 21, 2024

One woman is furious with her friend who wore a 'short dress' to meet her boyfriend for the first time, and accused her of 'dressing hot' - but others say she's just insecure

Meeting your friend's partner for the first time can be a big deal. You'll no doubt want to make a good impression on the person that's so important to your loved one, and your friend will likely want it to go well too. However, it doesn't always go the way you hope.

Recently a couple of friends fell out after one of them accused the other of "dressing hot" to meet her boyfriend for the first time.

She said her friend had purposefully tried to make her look bad in front of her new boyfriend – and now they aren't speaking.

The anonymous woman took to popular forum page Reddit to explain the situation. Her friend had been together with her new boyfriend for a few months and wanted her to meet him over a few drinks.

However, things became a bit weird when the friend called her an hour before to ask her what she was going to wear.

In the post, she continued: "I told her I was probably going to decide last minute after I showered. We were just going to a bar so I figured it wasn't that serious."

Things turned "extremely weird" when her friend insisted she "dress down" and not wear any makeup. She continued: "At this point, I was annoyed. I asked her why she was trying to police what I wore and how I looked.

"If she was uncomfortable with me being there, I could just stay home. I only agreed to do this because she asked me to."

Initially the friend apologised and told her she was only "looking out for her" as they were going to a bay and didn't want her to "look silly".

The friend decided to stick to her "normal makeup routine" and a dress she was looking forward to wearing, because she was meeting her own boyfriend for dinner after the drinks with her friend.

However, when she arrived she realised her friend was visibly upset, pulled her aside and accused her of "trying to steal her boyfriend".

She continued explaining: "She was stand off-ish the whole time I was with them but I had a nice conversation with her boyfriend because we grew up in the same part of town.

"I had allotted about two hours to hang out with them but I decided to leave after an hour."

The next day her friend messaged to say she was "extremely hurt" because she decided to "dress hot", despite her asking her not to. She concluded: "She is still extremely upset and won't talk to me even after I tried to make amends."

The comment section was flooded with supposed for the woman. Many pointed out that the woman sounded "insecure".

One person commented: "She sounds insecure and that's her problem. She can't police you on what to wear."

Another added: "If she's going to be that insecure about having someone else around her boyfriend she shouldn't have even asked you to meet him."
