I’m (m29) a bit disappointed that my friend (f33) finally found time to meet up after work, but she wants to invite her work colleague and friend (f24) to what I thought would be a one-on-one outing and I’m not sure how to respond.

1. Her asking you whether she can bring a friend is fair enough, now it’s up to you to phrase what you want in the most appropriate way.
   “Oh, I would prefer to hang out with you and catch up – let’s hangout together with friend xyz the next time?”

   A deeper issue is indeed that you feel the way you do about the friendship. She lives a drastically different life and only has so much free time available to meet with you – that is not her fault. If I were you, I would be happy that she does want to meet and spend time together, but also try and add more relationships I enjoy.
