that hax chat question is hilarious. not only did this date not work out, i don't foresee any date in the future working out for that guy. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 10:38 3
- Halfway serious observation: Dinner and theater show is generally not a good first date. - con_carne Apr 15, 10:42
- and aren't they sort of contingent on his friends funneling him more free tickets to the theatre? -- nm - moles Apr 15, 10:39 1
  - right. "i like this chick, but, like, i'm not going to pay to go out with her, what if it doesn't work out?" -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 10:42
bonus friday hax chat q: she's invited to a wedding she'll have to travel to, but the invite is only for her. should she ask if BF can come with? - moles Apr 15, 10:38 28
- If you are going to tack on more vacation days, bring him on the trip, but attend the wedding without him. - Amy Apr 15, 10:42 10
  - i get this, but i think i'd be pretty hurt if i went away with my gf for a trip and she went to a wedding, of people i know, without me. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 10:44 9
    - Dudes, can I get a ruling here? - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 10:44 6
      - Spawn: Delighted. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:46 1
        
        And, if he's not invited they probs don't get along anyway. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:47
      - I would be slightly annoyed. - znufrii Apr 15, 10:45 3
        
        That's my thinking. The non-invite only comes if you only "know" them but aren't friends w/o your girl as go-between. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 10:47 1

        this -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 10:46
    - yeah, that's not cool. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:44 1
      - especially considering he probably has to pay for the travel and it's costing him vacation time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:44
- oooh, that's tough. i firmly believe in the the 'you can't ask' rule, so i think in this case i would *call* my friend to regretfully decline - Andie Apr 15, 10:41 3
  - I miss Miss Hazzard -- nm - zork Apr 15, 10:47
  - this -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 10:45
  - this is probably the best way to handle it -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:42
- she should ask. I have to wonder why he's not invited, though. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:41
- don't go. -- nm - decline Apr 15, 10:41 1
  - that was Carolyn's advice - moles Apr 15, 10:42
- I would ask. the fact that she's asking if she should ask means that her definition of "very close" is different to mine. - amanda jones Apr 15, 10:40
- I'm curious about the only one not invited with a date. - Will Hunting Apr 15, 10:40 3
  - oh, another good point. did the bride once jam her boyfriend? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 15, 10:40 2
    - Or they want to get the friend drunk and invite her into the mix. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 15, 10:43 1
      - "make sure you bring your keys." - amanda jones Apr 15, 10:43
- bring him -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 10:39 4
  - never bring an uninvited plus one to a wedding. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:42 3
    - if they didn't invite the BF and they are getting married, they are unlikely to remain friends anyway, so fvck it. -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 10:42 2
      - not the point. there may very well not be anywhere for him to *sit*. that's going to awkward for him, - Andie Apr 15, 10:58
      - then the ex can sing Friends in Low Places at the dinner. It's win-win -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 10:45
