Dear Sugar & Spice ... A good friend of mine invited me on a double date -- joining her boyfriend and his visiting guest. Since it was an informal 'date' with the mystery guy, I figured why not since I had nothing to lose. When she reconfirmed plans the day before, she made mention of something that she failed to initially when she asked me. Mystery man Tom was 73 years young. It's not a problem except that I am 33 years old. I am upset with my friend since I feel as if she led me on. It's my blind luck so do I have the right to cancel?

A Little Sugar
You might want to start looking for a new friend. With an age difference that big, and that's BIG, she definitely knew what she was doing. She had an out-of-town guest to entertain so what better way than to push him off on someone else. Sure, she would rather be out on a date with just her boyfriend, but now she has 'Third-wheel Tom' to deal with. I can see the date now ... dinner is over and she finds the perfect opportunity to escape with her beau -- leaving you with dad to entertain. I'm sure Tom is a nice guy, but his idea of entertainment (like most men) involves a little more. So if you proceed with the date, be mindful that any kissing could create surprises -- like dislodging his dentures.

You always have the right to pull out of a dinner date if you don't want to go, but why would you? IT'S JUST DINNER. I mean, aside from the fact age rules Tom out as a love interest, it is an opportunity for you to hang out with your friend and her boyfriend. Besides, you could have a great time getting to know someone outside your age circle, and learn a little bit more about yourself in the process. Afterward though, I'd have a talk with your friend -- if she's seriously interested in hooking you up with someone, she needs to know a little more about what you're looking for. Chime In | Meet Spice
