Wing woman or...?

What would you do if your boyfriend travelled to another country to attend a wedding? Sounds pretty innocent... Everyone gets invited to weddings, especially if you have a large extended family and your countless cousins start getting married almost every month.

Now what would happen if you asked him who he was going with and he'd uncomfortably say he hadn't thought about it yet... Fishy, right?

So you start to dig deeper and he confesses he's asked his friend Salma to come. And another friend as well. Then it becomes clear that only Salma is coming. He explains that he doesn't want to go alone and he doesn't know many single friends in town any more and that she is his "wing woman", someone to go out with. Just a friend.

To be clear, as trustful as I am, one thought comes to mind - if a guy has no interest in a girl, he doesn't bring her anywhere. What also comes to mind is why lie if you are only inviting her as a friend? He said he lied because he didn't want to have an argument knowing how sensitive I was... To me that sounds "guilty as charged".

Or could it be that he had no interest in her other than company for a wedding?
