What is the proper etiquette when asked to lunch and a 3rd party is there.?
My boyfriend invited me to lunch on Sunday before I was returning home to San Diego. When I arrived at the restaurant with 4 kids (2his/2mine) there was a lady and a young man sitting in the bar with him. He did not immediately introduce us and there were no seats waiting for us. The situation was very awkward and I felt unwelcome, as he tells me to pull up a chair! I excused myself to the bathroom and put pajamas on my toddler because we had a 7 hour road trip ahead of us. When I came out I told him I was going to get on the road. At that time the hostess says your table is ready. I then say to him “Are you going to introduce us?” He introduces us (his sister and nephew, which I had figured out) My question is: When she showed up at his house unannounced, should he have called/texted me to say that my sister will be joining us? I say yes, but he says I have no social skills. I would also like to know exactly how the situation should have played out.
Yes he should certainly have advised you, and immediately made introductions. In fact, he should have asked you if it was ok with you that they join the two of you.
