Third Wheel

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.

I'm not going to the movies with you guys tonight, I don't want to be a third wheel. It is like watching a poorly scripted romance movie!

Third Wheel

That one person that does not belong

No matter which way you figure it, if you're in a group of usually 3 people, theres always a third wheel:
2 Guys & 1 Girl = Usually 1 too many guys

2 Gay Guys & 1 Girl = Should never happen EVER

2 Girls & 1 Guy = 99% chance theres 1 too many guys, BUT THERES STILL A 1% chance of this turning into the best night of his life!
