WTF? How so?
If my friend asked me to postpone going to a show for a week, for pretty much ANY reason whatsoever, I would do it. Thats why we call them friends.
As an aside, I can understand why Brian doesnt want any of his friends about for the first date. Its bad enough worrying about making a good impression and getting to know a girl, without having to worry about what a friends impression might be as well,
“Oh no, this isnt going well, she isnt talking to me at all. I bet Daves sitting up there laughing at us, goddammit…”
I’m just saying Brian is pushing and David is pushing back.
I think that one thing is being overlooked, (other than homosexual tension.)
These guys have ONLY ONE DAY A WEEK OFF. Believe me, if I had only one day off per week, with a show that I want to see closing in 4 weeks, that means only 4 chances to see a show, so it isn’t ‘see it on another’ day; the issue is 'automatically dump 25% of your options to see the show, because Brian is a pud wuss."
And, btw, what the heck do you mean, “it is indeed a first date for Brian, with this particular girl?”
I think you know what was meant-now I’m suspicious that you have left out something. Is there something we need to know? Has there been any sort of romancing between the boys that could cause this scenario?

But whether or not they are, I do have to say that it’s disappointing that so many people think you can’t work in theatre and be straight at the same time. QUOTE]
Did anybody bring this up in this thread???
handsomeharry, thanks for your input, and you actually make a good point about have only one day off per week. It definitely puts a dent in Brian’s case, if you ask me. However, I kind of get the feeling that you didn’t read the whole thread. The reason I said “It is indeed a first date for Brian” is because Santo Rugger in Post #5 said that was a qualifying factor. So I wanted to make it clear that it was indeed a first date. No romancing between the boys has happened that I am aware of.
As for your second question, “Did anybody bring this up in this thread???”, the answer is yes.
The way this thread is going I’m waiting for the sissy slap fight, the makeup sex, and the awkward day after.
You guys are in theatre and go to Broadway shows often? I’ve gone to 2 in my entire life and even I realize that the odds of running into someone who I know is attending the same show are low. The place is just too crowded for that. And just how many opportunities are there to run into eachother? Pre-show, intermission, post-show. What the hell? Does Brian have this fear David will sit 5 rows behing him and toss popcorn at him and his date? That David will purposely seek him out in a crowded theatre to make a comment like “I thought you were still dating Susan.”
Brian needs to get over himself. If he’s so insecure that a friend could actually embarass him in front of a date he needs to grow a pair. If it even happened what’s wrong with “Yeah, that’s a guy I work with, he likes to try to embarass people.”
Sheesh. It’s not like David made reservations for the same time at a tiny intimate restaurant one table over. It’s a packed theatre for heaven’s sake.
This sounds like an episode of Seinfeld. Which bodes not well for anybody involved.
I’ll bet that David is only saying “well then I’ll go this week too” to jerk Brian around as part of their friendly good natured banter.
David will not show up. Brian will be stressed for a week. David gets a jolly good laugh. Brian will feel relieved on the night that David is not there. So relieved that he relaxes with new girlfriend and they end up having hot monkey sex.
But of course. When I posted “Her? Yeah right.” I was implying that it was more likely that Brian had a date with an inanimate object. The correct pronoun (in my mind) was therefore “it” and not “her.”
