What do u do ? /friend

[Itsawildworld85]

You arrive at a park with another friend and see your other 'friend' (who u regularly see) on their own? Just wondering what most people would do in this situation

Go up to her, say hi and have a chat, then suggest a coffee tomorrow and then you must go as got plans

Far too many variables.

Anything form a polite hello and introduction to a ‘do you want to join us?’ - there is no right or wrong and it most definitely depends on specific factors.

If I had an arrangement with someone, I wouldn’t invite someone they didn’t know along with us.

Well that’s one of the many potential variables, isn’t it?

Wr don’t know the people don’t know each other, or if they vaguely know each other or if they would be ok with it. Hence me saying it could be anything in between the 2 opposite ends of the scale, but definitely down to specifics.

Have you got kids with you? Because if so it’s usually very fragmented chat ime anyway. I’d probably end up talking briefly to whoever was near me at that time.

OP didn’t include any details. That’s why I said ‘too many variables’, I’m not sure quite why it bothers you.

I'd go over and say hi.

I did answer though, what’s your actual issue here? I don’t really understand, I think it could be anything between X and Y depending on specifics. I’m struggling to see what wrong with that

No it was an OP asking a question about a situation with no detail about said situation which means the answer is variable depending on specifics

At very basic level, it’s so rude not to at least acknowledge someone you know, whoever you are with.
If I was with someone and we were discussing something private or sensitive, I would say hello/wave to the other friend before moving on. Otherwise, I would introduce the two of them - common courtesy.
So many people lack basic social skills these days.

No, the answer was…

Far too many variables.

I said that hours ago.

I need more info to reply.

But at the very least I’d acknowledge them and say hi.

Have a chat/introduce them to my friend. If the want to stay with us fine otherwise will leave them to continue with their day.

I have a few friends who prefer to do their exercise walking on their own. Walking with a friend turns into an amble. So I wouldn’t bat an eyelid - I’d just greet them, check we were still on for coffee or drinks on Friday and carry on. I myself do a combination of group walks (slow, lots of stopping to look at stuff, probably a sneaky flapjack with the coffee) and solo walks (faster, listening to my music, water only). Just cos someone is alone doesn’t mean they’re lonely.

It was a play park, I personally would have introduced them and invited them over. Or at least said I will msg u soon.....guess she's not as much as a friend as I thought she was😂

But assuming you’re the friend at the park alone, why didn’t you approach her and say hello?

Oh I did but was cut off quite quickly

I would say hi good to see you this is X (assuming they don’t know each other)? Brief chat. Then say something like I was planning to message you about coffee next week. I will do later.

if we both know other friend I’d invite to join us or ask if they are getting some peace and quiet and alone time.

Either way I don’t see a problem?
