The catch is that he was his wingman's ride that night, not the other way around.

The taxi thing was considered. Probably an hour ride though costing at least a hundred bones.

Then give him the car and cab to their house. Get him to pick you up the next day...or better yet just smack him in the face and say sleep in the car.

Yep poor move.. the purpose of the wingman is to make the intro like you actually have friends and then forget about it 2 seconds later. A friend of mine, way back when, was actually pissed at me that I didn't leave early enough! But I had no idea he was into this girl as they were friends before

Reminds me of one of my roommates. We were at the bar the other night, sitting with a couple of girls. He's hungry and getting pissed that the waitress doesn't come fast enough so he can order chicken fingers. So eventually, he just gets up, says "I'm going home to eat some chicken." This wasn't some extremely drunken 3 in the morning thought, it was 10 and we had gotten there 30 minutes ago. He chose chicken over girls.

Were they all cute? I mean, I can see him bailing if he knew he was the one who had to jump on the grenade or take one for the team, but if they're all cute - what the ****? Perhaps he's a little too gun shy. Maybe some more practice for him would work well.

And I know how you feel man; my wingmen are dropping like flies - engagement, marriage, and all those things are creating casualties on the dating scene - I'm in my late 20's, so every teammate gets to be more and more valuable.

Your wingman was out of the picture from the beginning of that story.

A wingmans job is to ease the introduction and initial pleasantries and run interference on any potential roadblocks. From the sounds of it that was accomplished all on your own, your friend was just along for the ride. A wingmas job does NOT involve pulling the trigger for you, that's your job. You weren't Cougar, you didn't need Maverick to talk you down, you had missle lock on and you didn't take the shot. I understand that you've lost some friends out there to the terrible fate of marriage, maybe you even got caught in an unrecoverable spin due to jet wash, but your wingman can't make you take that shot. That's on you.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever typed. But it's true.
