Would you find this odd?

yeah it's kind of weird, but like others have said it might be that they're going to do something else after or maybe it's not a friend but a significant other.

It's coffee. You guys obviously aren't close enough to need "special time together." She's making an effort. Just go and chat for one hour of your life.

Go have coffee with your aunt. It's nice that she wants to see you and catch up w/o taking a bunch of your time. She sounds really sweet!


This hits the mark, OP.

It's not weird or odd. Haven't you ever traveled somewhere and tried to fit in seeing more than one person you hoped to see? Logistically it's not always easy. So what if friend comes?

Aunt's being cordial and you're responding with overthinking. If you were upset by the friend's presence because you craved a long, deep, intense, emotional catching-up discussion with aunt, that would be one thing. But you're not expecting that. So why act offended that a relative you've not seen for ages is coming to meet you and bringing along the person who is her host (and possibly her ride) for that weekend? Probably they're going on to somewhere else right after your coffee time so this is the easiest way to do two things that same morning. Enjoy the visit.

Update: She was weird. Midlife crisis or something. Felt the need to share gross details about her love life in her twenties. I did not ask. She was trying to be cool aunt. WHATEVER.

For a 25 year old you're very immature, more like a 13 year old. I hope this improves for you, but it looks like it might run in the family...

Why in the world did you agree to meet her then?
