The third wheel may feel uncomfortable about watching the couple canoodle on his her her sofa, but none of this is taken into consideration.

Where one person hangs out with two people who are dating in situations and places where couples usually hang out like at the movies or at restaurants.

Third wheelers make the situation extremely awkward for a couple to show affection towards each other or talk about things pertaining to their relationship.

Third wheelers also invade time with potential couples. Usually they are invited to hang out because of pity and consideration. It is also awkward for the one who unintentionally becomes the third wheel when the couple sort of distances themselves from them so that they can do things as a couple.
