Reasons you shouldn't go to this lunch (some from you, some from me):

  • It shows you're being a "good boy", happily waiting on her to act out her fantasy
  • Allows cake eating
  • You feel like a fool in front of her
  • You will be tempted to play the pitiful, heartbroken card.
  • Everything you could talk about at lunch will either be cake eating for her, pity from you, details about her life you don't want to hear about, or details from your life you don't want to share
  • Every time you're around her it causes a setback, and now it's worse because OM is living with her
  • This is the definition of friend zone. What do women do when they get back from on out-of-country trip? Have lunch with their friends to catch up!



Reasons you should go to lunch:

  • ...? Maybe I'm overstating one side of this argument, but feel free to add to this list.
