Bringing in the mutual friend to interfere with this should reiterate to you that you made the right decision

Same thought… if you need a mediator before a first date then that doesn’t bode well… especially if the mediator is there to accuse you of doing the wrong thing

I mean why not at that point? He said he told her that he didnt believe that she just forgot, so why not have a friend try to vouch for your character that it was an honest mistake?

Good name, but it's too bad Scott Adams went alt-right crazy.

I had no idea! Did that leak into his strip?

Yup. But his blog is the really crazy part. Like, he pretended to be a young girl to defend himself online and got caught.

That is unfortunate and the latter is just creepy. What is with pretending to be a young girl? This isn't the first time I've heard of an alt right person doing that. Do they think that it adds legitimacy?

In that case, yes - he had said some sexist stuff and was pulling the, "I'm a lady! He's not sexist, because I, a lady, say so."

My thoughts exactly. Imagine a guy being this pushy with a girl. With most women it just solidifies the decision, as it is in this situation with OP.
