    Hey Guys
    Well my best mate from college is getting married in a couple of weeks. So story is there is this guy that I know for years and we have been texting and meeting up for a couple of months now but not every wkd. I really want to ask him to the wedding but don’t know if I should ask him because I have to travel 3hrs to the wedding so I was going to go up the Friday and il be coming home the Sunday, but if I ask him I wont go until the Saturday morning. There will be a gang of us from college and most of them are bringing someone, but he will also know a couple of them as they are from around me as well. It is a bit much to ask him to go? It wouldn’t be so bad if the wedding was local but considering we would be spending the wkd together I am a bit hesitant in asking... Advice please

    i really think you should ask him, it would be awkward if he didnt know anyone else but you said he'd know a few of them
    go for it what have you got to loose!!!
    best of luck, dont think about it too much just do it, id say he'l be delighted

    ASK HIM.

    if ye have known and being meeting up this long then he enjoys you company and you wont have to babysit him at the weeding because he already knows people there.


    ye'll have a ball

    Do it, do it, do it!

    I'm going to one this week where i know a grand total of 3 people, two of whom i spoke to for about 75 seconds. And i'm looking forward to it. Was delighted to get asked and have full intentions of making a show of myself having a great time :D

    ah sure go on and ask him, if you ask in a kind of "if you have nothing else on, and it will be great craic" kind of way you have nothin to lose

    Another one in the ASK HIM!! camp.

    As someone else said, the worse he could do is say no.

    But maybe he'd feckin' love it if you asked him.

    There's only one to find out though.

    Ask him!!!!

    The usual scenario is when you've got your eye on someone and there's NO excuse or event to ask them to.

    You've got the ideal scenario there!

    Go for it!!!!

    There was a guy I used to be with for a while, but then we didn't see each other for ages. Kept in contact every few months or so. In a roundabout way asked him to my grad ball and he came! Was a little awkward as he didnt know anyone else and it turns out it was TWO YEARS since I'd seen him! Plus he wasn't drinking that night! Ended up together though and we both loosened up after a while. But I'd say go for it. Although, plenty of singletons to hook up with at the wedding ;) Often nothing better than to just put on your dancing shoes rather than having to worry about someone else being there!

    So ok ask him......
    Would it be mega cheeky to text him or should i ask him face to face although i know i will probably make a balls of it for some reason when it comes to things like this i freak:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Face to face.

    Does he already know about the wedding?

    If he does mention you are going, casually.

    Something like "blah blah blah, I'm going to Mary's wedding in a couple of weeks, I reckon it'll be good craic, ah sure, why don't you come with me".

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...glad that strike through was there!!

    Recently had this with an old friend. She started with a few cryptic texts so I just picked up the phone and sorted it out. Do it, preferably face to face otherwise by phone. Don't really think texting is a good plan here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Don't ask him.


    Wait, actually... ask him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 939 ✭✭✭Aurora Borealis


    Call him and ask him. Plain and simple.
