Some background story. My friend (female) just met up with an old friend from high-school and they have been hanging out lately. Her and I are close friends and I am glad she is seeing an old friend again.
So last night I was invited out to a bar and was stood up since my male friend decided to go to a strip club and that wasn't my thing. While at the bar I see her and said old friend so I go buy her what she usually has when we go out and intended to buy him a drink trying to be friendly. No hug greet from her and she says that she just met her friend there, I still hand her the drink that was paid for an and ask if he wants one but turns down the offer. We get introduced and I leave to finish a conversation that was started.
Later on she makes eye contact with me but says nothing, seeing that its late and me having to work in the morning I send her a text saying that I'm heading home and to enjoy her night.
This morning she comes to my job to speak with me saying she was angry that I one-upped her friend by buying her first drink. Note that I had no idea how long they were there for and have never tried to one-up someone before since its stupid to me. I'm about to say that wasn't my intention but she turns her back on me leaving saying we won't be meeting up tonight like planned and she is having her phone off today.
I never met the guy before and was told by her that he asked if she was meeting me there as well since I had a drink 'ready' for her.
My question is, did I actually one-up this guy by being nice? I've asked three others and they say that either he was ego hurt and made a big deal about it, she took it the wrong way and acted bitchy. I just wanted some opinions from escapist users about the ordeal.
