why did she bring a friend on a date???please help

I need a womans perspective on this. I've known this girl for a few weeks now, met through a friend. She lives about 60 miles from me and on our first date I went to see her and both of us had a good time. We had some lunch and then coffee, just simple. We text and speak to each other everyday.

I arranged to meet her again, but do something different like bowling and shooting because she mentioned she liked bowling. I'd also booked a restaurant but she didn't know that. So on my way to see her again, half way she texts me and asks if her friend can come along. I thought, that's crazy. She called me after she sent the text and asked me if I minded. I said to her that it was OK and I didn't mind. I'm not rude, I'm still trying to get to know her but inside I was a bit pissed off. Why the hell invite a friend when I'm trying to get to know her? I was thinking about going back at that point home but thought, what the hell, just go up and see her. She text me again saying she was sorry but she couldn't say no to her friend.

The date wasn't good, I wasn't to happy to start with having a third person tag along. The strange thing is her friend was a really nice person and I got on with her well. Too well because I didn't want her to be left out and at the same time I didn't want my date to be left out.

Of course, I didn't get to speak to my date the way I wanted because of her friend, so afterwards we got a bite to eat and I dropped them home. I didn't feel like spending more time so I made an excuse and left.

The next day she text me saying hello and asking if I was OK. I didn't reply or answer her calls until the day after. I text her that I wasn't OK and I wasn't happy having her friend tag along when I wanted to get to know her only. She text back apologising ' really really sorry about that, it wont happen again' to which I replied, ' I think we should leave things the way they are and not take things further'.

She text back 'OK'

Now I am thinking. Did I do the right thing by finishing it? Do I really want to be with someone that doesn't want to get to know me as I do them? What kind of person brings a friend on a date? It just tells me that she wasn't that interested or into me in the first place, which is why I didn't take things further. Am I over reacting?

What do you think?

Yeah, maybe she brought the friend along and because she wasn't that interested. Safety in numbers, so to speak and she knew there was little chance you would make a move on her and if her friend was there.

They both probably just wanted a day out.

Eh. Tough call. It was sort of rude and inappropriate of her to bring a friend along, but she did ask beforehand if it was okay and you said yes. Then she was very apologetic about it and said it wouldn't happen again. Her friend probably put her in an uncomfortable spot and she didn't really know how to deal with it. If I were you, I'd give her another chance, but it's kind of too late for that now.
