On Saturday, Dec. 7, the anonymous man turned to Reddit’s “Am I the A------?” forum, where he revealed that he matched with a woman named Ana on Bumble, had "lots of engaging conversations on FaceTime" with her over the span of two months before he took her on a dinner date.
Ana asked him to pick her up for their outing at a "really nice restaurant," which he wrote was "sort of far from where we lived." She also revealed that she needed to be dropped off afterward "at her best friend’s place" for a "movie night," something he also wasn't opposed to.
"The date went better than expected, we vibed really well," the Reddit user wrote. "Ana also had drinks since I was the designated driver. However, right at the end of the date, Ana asked if I would drop her off at Josh’s. I was initially confused and then [realized] Josh was her guy best friend."
"Ana instantly [realized] what she said and it sort of became awkward. Ana [apologized] and I told Ana there was no reason to [apologize]. I was just curious about who Josh was so I asked Ana, and Ana said he was her guy best friend, and they occasionally have movie nights," he said.
"Ana said she wanted to be honest with me because she really liked me and saw a future with me, and she admitted they sometimes make out during these movie nights but it doesn’t go further than that," he recalled.

"Ana looked really sad when I ended the date and left," the man wrote, explaining that he called his sister to ask if he made the "right" decision.
"My sister said I shouldn’t have left Ana stranded at the restaurant, especially after Ana was really sweet and honest with me," he elaborated. "I told my sister how I could be expected to take Ana for a really fancy dinner, and then drop off her at her guy best friend’s house, where she would then make out with him. I had enough self respect left not to do that."

While the man’s sister wasn't so sure about his decision, other Reddit users largely agreed that he wasn't the "a------" in the situation — with the most upvoted comment reading, "Idk about you guys but I don't make out with my best friends...or regular friends."
"NTA, she asked you to drop her off at a some guy’s place and that normally they make out. Who says that on a date?? And who even does that," another user wrote.
Another user described the original poster as Ana's "appetizer," while her best friend Josh was "the main course."
"Nothing like taking a girl on a date, she tells you the date was great she likes you. You start to feel like you got lucky on a dating app, then she asks you to drop her off at her friends with benefits guy," another wrote. "NTA."
