LoveLace Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 My roomie and I have a mutual friend getting married in April. We each got our own invitation. One day he joked about "taking some ho" and I just laughted it off. I have not mentioned anything about it since then. Today I noticed he has sent off his RSVP. I finally filled out mine, and next to the #attending, I put, 2? and a frowning face!! I know I won't find a date by then...I'm way to busy with work and school to meet anybody new in such a short time...and I don't wanna take a girl friend because I want to be totally solo if there single men at the reception. My roommate and I will have many mutual and long time friends there. I guess if he wanted to go with me, he would have said so. So asking him doesn't appeal to me much. If I DO find a date, I dont want him to think I am trying to make him jealous. If I don't find a date, it better be fun enough to distract me from him and HIS date. But our friends are all couples. I will feel sooo left out if there aren't any other single people there! I'm sure it will be fun no matter what...but part of me does not want to go at all but that could look bad. If he has a date and I don't, chances I will leave early with a smile but go home and cry...I just don't know how to handle this..
alphamale Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I've never been to a wedding where there weren't at least a handful of singles. Plus a wedding is the best place to hook up. If you're going to go solo for sure then you should call them and change your rsvp to one so they don't have to pay extra and so you won't have an empty seat next to you. Maybe you could ask to be seated at the singles table.
Author LoveLace Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 I didn't know weddings had singles tables?!!!..but if I did that, my closest friends would be sitting at their couples table and I would want to sit next to them...somehow..without feeling weird...
alphamale Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I didn't know weddings had singles tables... sure....there are ususally at least one or two tables of people who are going stag. it makes sense cause most tables are set up for 8 or 10 or 12 and all the couples like to sit together. think about it LL this could be your big chance... you dumb roomate will be sitting at his boring table wiht his date while you're partying it up at the singles table.
Author LoveLace Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 But your right about my RSVP card. I just don't want to accept that a date for me is out of the question at this point. Gosh I should just call them tomorrow and tell them to make it 1. I'm so tired of being the lonely one at all these events that my friends have; weddings, showers, camping trips, even just house gatherings...all couples, all the time, and then there's ME. In the last 10yrs. I bet they've only seen me bring maybe 2 or 3 guys around. They must think something is wrong with me I'm 30 and no date, but they are all married with kids...people say married people are just as jealous of single people..but I find that hard to believe...when I see my roommate date, it makes me feel worse...like, there's another guy that doesn't want me. And everytime some low life hits on me while I'm out, I think of COURSE it's not a guy I'm interested in, IS it EVER!? I've been stood up by the guys that I do get interested in....married life has GOT to be better!
Author LoveLace Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 sure....there are ususally at least one or two tables of people who are going stag. it makes sense cause most tables are set up for 8 or 10 or 12 and all the couples like to sit together. think about it LL this could be your big chance... you dumb roomate will be sitting at his boring table wiht his date while you're partying it up at the singles table. The hard part will be pretending like I don't care how much prettier his date is than me!!
alphamale Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 i dont know what else to say LL...we may have call in the reinforcements
Author LoveLace Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 he he I don't mean to be such a complainer about the whole situation..I got myself into it all when I agreed to be his roommate... I'll just go to the wedding solo and I'll practically ignore him if he has a date...and hopefully he'll see me flirting with some guys there... Love makes me crazy...one sided love anyway..it's all I know for sure at this point..
Pretty Fly Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 i take it you have some feelings for your room-mate and wanted to be his date to be his date, and not be his date so you could then go and meet other guys there? If that makes sense!
bab Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Do you know that he is taking a date? Maybe he didn't think of saying anything to you because you had your own invitation. Why not say, "Hey, are you taking someone to Jobob's wedding?"
Author LoveLace Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 what's the update LL? Sorry no update...I'm assuming he has a date though because he was quick to send his RSVP back. He hasn't bothered to ask me about my date at all. He probably knows I won't have one though. There other issues of our roommate-ship anyway...I just put another post on Friends and Lovers today....it's a confusing sitch...
