Is it normal to not wanna be alone with a friend?

13 Comments

So I'm going to the mall and I have this particular friend that's also coming. My other friends are supposed to come to but they all had apointments with their girlfriends. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna be alone with this friend. She's not weird or anything but it's just so awkward to talk to this friend alone.(we can talk normally with our other friends) I could suddenly talk about any random thing and she would ignore it. She could talk about her love life with her exboyfriends and I'd be confused and just stare at her openly. That is why I don't wanna be alone with that person. It's so awkard, if I knew things were gonna end up like this then I would have just gone by myself. Is it normal to not want to talk to a friend? What would you do in this situation?

Convince your friends to ditch their dates and go to the mall with you 6
Call her up and cancel it 30
Just go and try to enjoy your time together 46
Don't show up and tell her you forgot the next day 4
Ditch the girl at the mall 1

    I think most people have had an experience similar to yours at least once in their life. The key is to not let your feelings turn you into an impolite jerk about it. Be kind and considerate.

    Honestly a girl that talks about their ex's needs to gtfo. I don't want that baggage in my relationship, its not fair to me.

    if she's still in, you should be, too. Here's a good trick: I don't dislike anyone because I:
    a) get along with the person or
    b) interpret situations that are awkward, unfortunate, or otherwise as entertaining.
    There are some people who are bad apples whom I avoid. But it doesn't sound like this chick is going to rape you or anything. Just chill and laugh when things get weird. Oftentimes, that actually saves the conversation (and the relationship)

    It's ok, you just don't know her well and you're probably trying to avoid an awkward situation, right? If you want to get to know her, try bringing another one of your friends when you go shopping with her. Eventually you'll have her figured out and you can hang out one-on-one.

    That depends, are you mean and bitchy with no consideration for the feelings of others? Is this person an actual friend to you. Maybe this will give you the chance to get to know her better.

    I have friends that are great in a group but a nightmare to be alone with (even when I was drunk, which usually oiled the wheels). You're completely normal.
