Livin' Like Thanksgivin'
So I'm out with a group of about 10 people, one of which is a girl I've been dating for about 3 weeks or so.
Even though I'm 10 minutes late, I arrive at the restaurant first, followed by a friend of the girl I'm dating that I don't know. We're chatting... making small talk, when she starts to ask how I know both of the above-mentioned people. Eventually, she asks if myself and that girl are 'dating', to which I replied something to the effect of... "I'd like to think so... but I'm not sure what she's calling it; you'd have to ask her, I guess." It was left pretty much at that.
About half-way through the dinner, the girl I'm dating and the girl I chatted with take one of those famous women's bathroom breaks, where they discuss men and all their faults and assets whilst powdering their noses or whatever. I figure I'm safe. I didn't say anything too debatable.
As the evening ends, I'm getting ready to leave when the girl I'm dating wants to walk me to my car. She 'needs to talk to me.' On the way out, she said that her friend told her I said that "she was my girlfriend" and she was a bit upset about that. Whoa. Hello? That's a helluva a lot different than what I said. How did I get from "you'll have to ask her" to "she's my girlfriend" ?
Although I denied it and told her my exact words, and she seemed to accept it, there was a noticable tension at the end of the evening. We're still on for a date on Wednesday, but I have a feeling that she feels some sort of trust was breached, all because her friend twisted my words around beyond all recognition.
Sabotaged by a stranger. Not fair.

and it'll score you some points, cause she'll feel like she owes you for doubting you, too
