I think it's more on the fact that I have no idea who this person is and he has never mention her, but he talks non stop about all his other friends. I also found it very strange considering they don't really talk or meet up, but yet he claims they are close enough for him to go out of his way to go to a lunch which shouldn't really involve him. He saying that she wanted him there to get his "approval" of this other guy, which I think it's quite a childish thing to do when everyone is an adult and she technically isn't even with him yet. I don't think it's a normal thing to be dragging a so called guy friend along to an event where you are trying to get to know a guy, let alone the opinion of a friend that you barely even talk to. I'm more leaning towards the sense that this "other guy" doesn't even exist and she's using that story to get my boyfriend comfortable enough with the idea to just "hang out" especially since he's just staying at home to study and then go to work that day.

I guess the trust is lacking from that fact that he withholds information from me by using the defense that he doesn't want me to worry about things that don't matter. But why make yourself seem guilty over something that is supposedly innocent. He also told me that he agreed to this lunch arrangement after he made the assumption that I was going to dinner with a male friend from college. So to me, it almost sounds like he did it to smite me and then casually dropped the bomb.
