Two's Company, but Three's a Crowd

(couples often enjoy their privacy and dislike having a third person around) 

How did your date with Nari go the other night?

Everything started out OK, but just as we started to talk seriously about our plans for the future, Bob came barging in and interrupted our conversation.

What a pain! Two's company, but three's a crowd.

You said it! I wanted to take him aside and tell him that Nari and I were having a serious conversation and that his presence was an intrusion on our privacy, but when I remembered how few friends he has since he's new in town, I decided not to say anything.

Did you ever get back to your conversation?

Yeah. We were able to pick it up again after Bob left.
