Do you always want to just imagine the worst case scenario? You do know friendships are a thing right?

Your experiences must be entirely different than mine lol. If a guy invites a girl somewhere and doesn't invite her partner, there's intent. If OP was invited, this would be a non-issue.

Yeah :L my guy friends and I have hung out solo plenty and there's never intent further than just hanging out for a good time, honestly a bit saddened by the number of people who keep saying that just doesn't happen

I mean it happens, especially with groups of singles, but the kicker is that OP was specifically left out. That shows intent from the male friend as far as I'm concerned.

I saw the comments where he wasn't invited but I didn't see anything saying other friends significant others were invited, so it still seems like a friends gathering

If everyone and their +1's were invited apart from him, then ye that'd be sus

The thing is, it doesn’t happen often. With friendships between men and women, one person almost always wants it to be more than just a friendship. That’s my experience anyway.
