Wedding Dates,Any Advice? :)

    hey guys looking for a bit of advice here

    ok so i don't go to many weddings,its not that i don't like weddings its just i don't be at many of them unless i'm invited like...single guy,weddings that kind of thing and i don't enjoy getting hammered much these days either

    anyway my neighbours sons wedding is coming up soon and i was invited to it,so i was like,uh i don't really do weddings so i wasn't going to go...i am good friends with him and his dad and the whole family and met his dad in the pub recently and when i said i didn't know if i was gonna go,he started putting the pressure on me to go "i want u to be there,ill be disappointed if you're not...ect"

    so now i feel like i don't wanna let him down cause i didn't go

    anyway in the middle of the conversation,i was trying to make excuses and i said like uh who would i bring like,i wouldn't wanna be there on my own and he turned round and said you should bring (a certain girl i know) and i was like ? i asked him like how do u know about this and he said his daughter was saying (they're good friends)

    this kinda threw me cause like if i was going to go i was going to ask her,i think we get on well and i really do like her,i'm pretty sure she likes me,and if i'm going to be there i cant think anyone else id rather be at it with,if that makes any sense?

    its prolly not a big secret that i like her either,i'm brutal at hiding this stuff :/

    so i'm wondering what the call is here,ask her? hopefully she says yea or don't go and let him down...or go on my own (which i prob wouldn't do)

    id appreciate any views ppl have on this,thanks :)

    If you are both asked to go then you can go alone, she goes alone and you can go from there? I mean if its a big deal for you to ask her at the moment.

    Personally I have a lot of respect if a giy has the courage to ask me out on a date...it shows he likes me enough to make the efdort and take a risk....Id be a little hurt if I was the girl, knew you were going to the wedding too, had made it obvious enough that I liked you (if the guys dad is mentioning it id say she wasnt exactly hiding it)....andyou did nothing about it......dude-ask her to go!! You can always play it off as 'well we're both invited just wondered if you were going too'

    Definitely ask her! It sounds like the two of you would have great fun together. And sure you never know ;-) I would say she would be delighted to have a proper 'date' for the wedding. And then you can tell hour mate so you will be seated together and will both have company for the day. You have nothing to lose here.

    If you are going to ask her do it quick before she invites a friend along as her plus 1.

    You could always ask the groom to organise the seating plan so that you are sitting beside each other. That way you are at the wedding together without having to ask her to go with you. Maybe the dad is trying to keep numbers down, so you've both been invited with a plus 1 which means potentially 4 dinners. By pushing the 2 of you together they only need to pay for 2 dinners ;)

    I'm only teasing, OP. But definitely ask her quick before she asks a girl friend to go with her. Although if that happens you could bring along one of your mates, and if the seating plan works out, the 4 of you could have a great time!
