A few weeks and dates go by and you start to think about taking the relationship to the next level. To become more than just "a date". You invite your date over for a romantic dinner in order to set the mood for that special night. Your companion arrives and you let them inside. Before dinner gets started, your doorbell rings. "Who is this?" you ask yourself looking at your watch.
It's your best friend. The person who has been your partner in crime since elementary school. "What are you doing here?" you ask.
"I'm sorry, but I was in the area and I haven't heard from you much lately," the friend starts, "so I wanted to check to see if you were okay."
You say with a smile, "I'm doing well. I've met someone. Come on in and let me introduce you."
You lead your best friend into the other room and your friend's eyes and your date's eyes lock and the mood takes a dramatic change for the worst. "Uh, hello." your friend says uncomfortably.
"Uh, hi." says your date as they immediately look down at the floor.
Instantly, you realize that something is extremely wrong. "You two know each other?" you ask.
"Yes," your friend starts, "Uh, (deep breath), we had a one night stand about a month ago."
What would you do?
