I'll keep this short to avoid accidentally posting any personal information; my wife wants me to go on a few dates with her best friend. The friend is a career woman who has always had trouble keeping men (though never getting them) and always seems to fall for guys who don't treat her well. My wife is convinced that her friend just doesn't know what it's like to go on a date with a man who is kind hearted and respectful but still fun and playful, and thinks that if she could just go on a few normal "pretend dates" with me, her friend would have better luck in the dating world. So her idea is that I get dressed up, take her friend to a nice restaurant, maybe go for a walk in the park afterwards or something like that, then drop her off at home, peck on the cheek, and go home. I am, needless to say, very uncertain that this will be a) helpful to her friend and b) a good idea in general. Am I being irrational here, or are my (admittedly vague) concerns justified?
