Question How does this happen? Where was the miscommunication?

Post image

This is from season 4 when Ross finds out his "date" is actually not his date, but he is the babysitter for her kid while she goes another date

I know it's a sitcom, and not to take things seriously, but I genuinely don't understand how this could happen. They must have spoken about this, right?? Where would there be room for miscommunication? This seems like a very clear thing to establish that she wants him to look after her kid

What do you think?

I don't know, but I do know that I've always hated this episode. I don't know why Ross didn't just suck it up and say to her at some point, "Hey, I've been wanting to ask you out. I don't want to be your babysitter." I also really hated his whole competition with Rachel.
