DellPickle Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Okay, so I've been dating this girl for a month and a half and its going well. My cousin's wedding is coming up in a couple weeks and I plan on asking her to come with me...so far no family have been met at all, and obviously a lot of my family is going to be at this wedding. If she is not ready for that, I'm okay with that, Im sort of indifferent to it, I know meeting the family means more to some people than others. So my question is, should I just ask her strait up if she would like to come, or should I preface the question with the fact that I'm fine if she does not want to go? I don't want to pressure her into a situation she isnt comfortable in nor do I want to force our relationship.
january2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 You're overthinking this. I suggest just asking her if she'd like to go with you. No need to second guess anything or preface your invitation with what you suggested.
Feelin Frisky Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 You can ask her without it sounding like she's "meeting your family". Just tell her you have this wedding to go to and you'd love it if she would be your date. I did this with someone and it went fine. She was beautiful too and made me look good. There was no big whoop afterward about any precedent being set. But I of course did not run around the wedding trying to endear her to everyone--we just fit in and that was that.
DuskCrush Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 hey --i think the way you should ask and explain it to her like you explained it here.
zengirl Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 "Hey, do you want to go to a wedding on [such-and-such-day]?"
NoLongerSad Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 OP, before you invite your gf, double check and make absolutely sure your invitation includes a "+1". Don't assume you can bring a guest.
