So, yourย best friend has just asked you to go out with her and her boyfriend?ย What do you do? How do you act? It can get pretty awkward when you end up being aย third-wheel to their date. But you can actually make the most of it with these steps:ย
1- Remember you’re going out with TWO people!
Being out with your friend and her boyfriend as a third-wheel means you’ll likely be more inclined to talk to your friend since she’s the person you’re more comfortable with. You should also try and make an effort to talk to her boyfriend. Your friend will appreciate that you guys are bonding but you better make sure you don’t give too much attention to one person over the other!
2- Never bring up old stories!
Just because your friend has told you about all the fights she’s had with her boyfriend, doesn’t mean you should bring them up! Don’t gang up on the guy; you might risk angering your friend and the guy too!ย 
3- Don’t hang around too much!ย
If things get too intimate between them, know that it’s your cue to give them space. At least that way, you’ll steer clear of any awkwardness. It’s all about timing. Once their focus shifts, that’s when you know not to interfere!
4- Befriend the boyfriend
An important aspect of third-wheels is getting to know your friend’s boyfriend. Talk to the guy! Make sure you know at least one thing about him you didn’t already know! Ask questions and engage with the other person; remember though all in moderation! You definitely don’t want to make your friend feel left out or worse, jealous!
5-ย ย No one likes a whiner!ย
Don’t moan and groan about them being affectionate with each other because that’s what couples do! If you start dating you’ll probably do the same too. Be understanding and if it makes you feel uncomfortable, just refer back to step three!ย 
6- Be her wing woman
As long as you’re there, make sure you make your friend look good to the guy! Talk about how great she is, things the guy might not already know. Be her go-to-girl!ย 
Now that you’re armed with all these invaluableย tips, you’re sure ready for any third-wheelingย missions that come your way! ย
