This guy was set up for a blind date, but when it ended, he learned it was supposed to be a prank
AITA for going on a second date with the girl my friends set me up with as a prank?
Being a medical resident, I hardly have time for dating, let alone sleeping. I’m 28 years old. My buddies, who are med school students as well, have been pressuring me to get out more because they think I need a vacation from the grind. They put me up on a blind date a few weeks ago. I reasoned with myself since they were always gushing about how “perfect” this girl was for me.
When I first saw Emily (26F Fake name) at the restaurant, I could tell she wasn’t the kind of person my friends had probably anticipated me to date. Even though Emily is a touch overweight, I still found her to be extremely adorable. Her grin was so beautiful, and her laugh made me want to laugh too.
However, a few days later, Emily sent me a really depressing note. My friends revealed to her that they had set us up as a practical joke. That they chose her especially because she’s overweight and not what they’d consider “conventionally attractive,” thinking it would be interesting to see how I’d respond, and that they fixed me up with her because they didn’t think she was “my type.” Emily texted me to express her grief and apologize for not living up to my expectations. She indicated that if I decided not to speak with her any longer, it was okay. She was in error. I believe she is stunning. both physically and spiritually. She’s my new type, to be very honest.
When I learned what my buddies had done, I became enraged. I at once
While people felt sorry for the guy having to go through this, they were glad he realized who his friends really weren’t
