You’re out to dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night at the local hot spot. Your boyfriend has been busy with a work project — he's had to stay late a lot — so you’ve decided to make the most of your free time with some good old girl talk.
As you leave the restaurant, you’re shocked to see your boyfriend sitting at a table in the corner with another woman. Their conversation appears a little too intimate to be business-related, but he never mentioned dinner plans tonight. You don’t want to embarrass yourself or your boyfriend if it’s nothing, but you feel strange walking out without saying something. Your friend is pressuring you to walk up to him, so how would you handle this?

I'd play the fool. Walk up and say 'hey, honey - funny seeing you heere' give him a hug and ask him how work was.
1i'd stand in a location where i can still see him, and i would text or call and see if he picks up or reads it, and ask him what he's doing
if he doesn't respond or answer, i'd go over and say what syako would say
but i would be so nervous! this situation gives me anxiety just thinking about it!
2It would be very much like me to respond in a totally snarktastic manner.
(For example, in my mind, I could imagine chuckling as I walked over to the table, turning toward BF and saying something like: "Well, that was no lie; she really *is* a piece of work!")
I process quickly and make jokes out of everything. I prefer to endure my drama privately.
But, in reality, this has never happened to me and I have full expectation that it never will.
3I'm with syako. I would go over and give him a hug and little kiss and ask how works i going. Then you can simply judge the situation based on his reaction.
4I like skigurl's suggestion. Call/text him first and see what's up. If he's evasive/ignores it I'd go over and say 'Hi'.
5I'd poke his eyes out! Kidding! I'd probably go up and nonchalantly say hi and see if he looks uncomfortable.
6Nah, i'd totally walk right up and be extremely pleasant and give a lil hi with a kiss on the cheek. You'd be able to tell what kind of relationship the two have by his immediate response. Plus then you aren't the one that overreacted (even if he was caught cheating) and you held your own. It's freaking out over nothing that causes relationships to fall apart, and if it really is nothing or work related, then you have put yourself in a beautiful light that shows you trust your mate and if it's work...it shows that he is a trustworthy guy to do business with and that he has chosen a partner who respects herself as well as him.
7I'd have to go with syako. Just walk up and say hi honey how was your day and see what happens.
8If I would think things through beforehand I would do the same walk up calmly and play coy but really when it comes down to it, you see your man out with another girl and he didn't mention having dinner plans I would be pretty pissed off and probably make a scene.
9This gives me anxiety too just thinking about it--I'm just surprised it never happened with my ex because he was the ultimate player. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that stuff now...
10sh*t.
Id walk right up to the table, and greet him like I normally would. Get introduced and walk the hell outta that place if I felt he was up to no damn good.
Ooh, the scenario pisses me off just thinking about it. Why?
This happened to one of my friends, we were all on a girls night out - and we busted him. Except for he was kissing the other woman at the table, all romantic like. All of us went up to him and gave him a piece of our mind. She threw wine on him (it totally got dramatic) slapped him and we all walked out.
She had the locks changed, we helped her get all of his crap out of the house, and he was out of there.
11A similar situation happened to me! I got a call from my friend saying she saw my boyfriend at the fair with another girl. Coincidentally, we were going to the fair anyway, so we walked around, found him, and they were both pretty friendly toward me and the friends I were with. I just assumed that nothing suspicious was going on, and we all hung out together for the remainder of the night.
12Later that night, my boyfriend told me that he originally went there with another group of friends and ended up running into the girl, so they decided to walk around and catch up and things. I was a little pissed at first, but I realized it was nothing to worry about and got over it pretty quickly. We're still dating today.
I would walk out without saying anything. When he next called, I would ask him about it. I hate drama and I'm more inclined to walk away from a situation even if it's shooting myself in the foot.
13I'd walk over and give him a huge smooch and then see what the other chick said!
14I would walk up and see how he reacts... from his reaction I would either get very upset or be okay with it. Clearly depending on what is really going on.
15I would call him and say I stopped by a work to visit him but he wasn't there and see what he had to say. If he confessed to going out to dinner with a coworker, then no biggie. If he said he was in the car on the way home or something like that, I'd pop in to the table with a "Wow! Funny to run into you here!" moment.
16I would probably take a picture of him first, since I always have my camera. And then I would leave and bake something very good, and talk to him later that evening and ask him about his day and if he is hungry from all that work and offer him some cake and if he is lying that he was working all evening but did go to the restaurant and ate a lot he would have to eat a big piece of cake on a full stomach. mouhahaha.
yeah I suck at planning stuff
17I would be like 'Hiii baby! I didn't know you would be here! whats up!' and act like an idiot. Whatever happens from there...
18I would sneak around corner, call his cell. Say, "Hey what's up? What are you doing?" and see if he lies about it or not. If he lies, then something is not right. If he is honest, then I can exhale and breathe easy.
19it's actually a good test to see if ur man is trustworthy or not.
*panic attack*
20*regain composure*
*make a scene*
Ha.. I would like to say I would do what Syako suggested, but I would most likely be doing what arbywhopper would do!
21I'd call or text and ask what he's up to and if he wants to get dessert, if he says he's still at the office his bum is so busted. there will be some hell to pay for after that. he better have a super good reason or he'll find a box at the curb.
22this happened to me YEARS ago when the guy i was dating told me he was going to a convention that was in town. a friend of mine (who hated my bf) and i waited for him outside the restaurant in her car. he came out with the girl and the 2 of them drove to his house. i didn't do anything. the next time i saw him i asked him about his weekend and the convention and he knew immediately. not sure how he knew, maybe just a vibe.
he was a sh*ty liar but an even worse bf. i moved away after that, partly to get away from him. after he was married and had a kid he came to see me (in another state) with no warning, just showed up at my work. guess he's a sh*ty husband too. and yes, it was the girl from the restaurant.
23I'd probably do what skigurl suggested.
24I know I should do what a lot of people are saying, and just go over and nonchalantly say hi. But oh boy, I would be freaking out so bad. My bf and I are pretty close (codependent?), and if he were out to dinner with another girl, and I didn't know about it, there really isn't a reasonable explanation on earth that would make that situation okay!
25I think I would text him something along the lines of "what chya up to hunny?" and see if he looks at it or see what he replies. And if he flat out lies I would prolly go up and make a scene. Maybe doing something sly like send him a drink and have the waiter point to my direction (for who it's from) and give an obnoxious wave like "I caught you..." and then a FLIP HIM OFF and walk out. haha that would be great
26Love Julieulie's plan...that's what I'd do too!
27I agree with ohkate.
28One part of me would want to go right up to him and see what's up. The other part would call him to see if he answers. If he answers and is honest fine, but if he lies and says he's still at work, then I'd walk up to him and give him the evil eye.
29im with these girls, the situation is making me anxious just thinking about it. i'm a secret jeal-o-saur, god only knows what i would do. id like to say id keep my composure and be extremely witty and sophisticated, but i'd probably have a panic attack and then some. im so un-suave, its pathetic.
30i agree with Julieulie's and Emalove's plan...set up the moment!
31uh. punch him in the face, duh.
no seriously. i wouldn't hit him.. unless it was with someone else's hands.
this situation happened to me about a year ago and it hurt. bad. bad bad. badddd.
32haha i love this i would definitely call and ask him where he was and see what he said then id walk over LOOOL but i guess thats quite deceptive in itself
33I'm fairly confidant, so if i look good i would walk up with a hi babe and then introduce myself. My dude is a bad liar not terrible but bad, LOL. You should be able to tell by body language and how she is dressed if shes out to man steal
so if it
casual and easy and she friendly and he's cool he'll be ok even tho inside i'd be pissed! but if they're uncomfortable the dq will make an appearance.
34I would probably go right over and say hi and introduce myself sincerely. But I really like skigirl and julieulies suggestion, I would probably do that now.
35I'm with Syako -- I would presume innocence, and walk up to the table, and gush, "Hi! Such a surprise to see you!" That's my natural reaction. I would assess his reaction, and the situation up close.
36I'd text him asking where he was and then I'd go up to them and give him a kiss. We'll go from there...
