Dana and arranged to meet in the evening at a local cafe for our first date. I arrived there first, went inside, and waited. When she didn't show after 15 minutes, I gave her a call.
"Hey," she said when she picked up the phone, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the restaurant. Where are you?"
A pause on her end, then, "Oh! Right, right. I'll be there in a few."
We hung up, and as I waited for her, I tried to figure out a logical explanation. However, nothing of which I thought arrived close to the truth.
She texted me several minutes later: "Come meet us outside."
Us? Oh boy. I went outside to find her there with another guy. Both of them were dressed for a date. She said, "One of you will be my date. The other will walk away empty-handed. Here's what we're going to do..."
Was she serious? I lost all attraction to her in a moment. I stepped away and said, "No way. Adios."
I woke up the next morning to a text from her: "Thanks for forfeiting. John and I had a great time!!!"
I can't help but feel that somehow or other, I had actually won.

BETTER PLAN: Totally make out with John. That would be the ultimate win.
OP did exactly what I would have done except I would have laughed in derision first.
I might have played along, could have been fun. A little competition never hurt anybody.
"I might have played along, could have been fun. A little competition never hurt anybody."
Except here, it would completely tool you. Think about what this shows about how lowly she thinks of men or of how high of a pedestal she wants to be put on
Who would "play along" with a competition that serves as the premise for dozens of terrible reality shows? Heeeeeel no.
^ A shitload of people I guess - that's how they keep getting people to be in reality shows.
And yeah, I'd have done exactly what OP did.
OP did the right thing, I feel sorry for John.
I might have mentioned something about head games being immature/stupid/unattractive, but "Oh HELL no" is the appropriate response regardless how you embellish it. :)
