Strangers with dog treats.

No man, no. I believe you get your ass kicked for saying something like "doggy play date" around here.

define "doggy play date"

I'm imaging two couples bring their dogs to a park, and having small talk with them both having the same breed of dog as the ice breaker. OH THE HORROR.

Here's a hint people usually meet new people based on something in common that they can fall back on when talking with eachother. Mutual interests is how we meet new people as potential friends. Get out of your fucking house and be social.

Also, the fact that your girlfriend seems to overly social in public. If you don't change your ways she won't stick around. Being social means she's gonna dump you and find someone else easily. While you will barricade yourself deeper into your house and live alone FOREVER.

I wouldn't say shes crazy, but it's a stupid obligation that shouldn't be forced on you. Owning a dog isn't the same as meeting someone with the same hobby or meeting someone at a concert/expo. Owning a dog or even the same breed of dog doesn't link you together at all.

[Twobit Whore]

The GF has a point about you being an antisocial cavedwelling shut-in, but she did overstep her bounds by inviting you and YOUR dog to something without informing you of it first.

Unless you are engaged or very serious then it's not her place to take that initiative. Unless you are a pussy and let her wear the pants in the relationship. And judging by the fact you even have the phrase 'doggy play date' in your vocabulary, I'm going to assume that's the case.

See if you had a Microsoft dog, you could pretext that walking him outside in this heat is more likely to give your dog a RRoD.

Most people don't buy pets willy nilly, and there is a lot about dogs that you could talk about. I'd think it would be good for your dog to play with other dogs...

It would have been a different story if the basis of meeting these strangers was on that orange mocha frappachino you love to choke down.

And I asked the question because I'm actually interested in the reasons behind different opinions. Many of the friends irl that I asked I've known for a LONG time, thus the poll to get a real random, person on the street, opinion.
I simply don't understand why someone WOULD want to randomly meet someone on the street. As much fun as it is to think of me as antisocial, realize that I'm looking at it as you're that person on the bus who's trying to talk to anyone who will listen, desperate for companionship. Both are oversimplifications as you can see.

Still though man, you're being completely selfish. It's something the gf wants and you only have to give 30 minutes apparently. Cry more.

What else are people to do when presented with limited information?

Sorry, but I'm just not buying it.

People who enjoy socializing make excuses to get together and socialize. No, they probably aren't fucking amazed that you both have the same breed of dog but they would like to meet new people. I'd guess that 90% of the time you spend with other people is with your girlfriend. She probably wants to do more socializing. Eventually she will dump you and you will play wow for the rest of your life.

First it's the same dog, then the same dick size, next thing you know it's a four-way and there's less than 3 women involved.

Stay away young one.

It's the price you pay for having a girlfriend. You have to listen to her dipshit friends, go shoe-shopping with her on Wednesday, and hang out with another couple on weekends to make inane conversation. The question you should be asking yourself, "is she worth it?" Unless she's hot or has money the answer should be no.

Or if she lets you shove it in her ass. Then it's worth it for a few months at least.
