djdiablo Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 My girlfriend is going to a going-away party for one of her best friends next Saturday. A lot of people are going to be there from University (both of us went to the same uni) that she is friends with. But: A) I find all 80 of those people mighty superficial and I am not friends with either of them. B) One or two of her exes are going to be there. I'm not really jealous but it's not exactly a fun situation. C) I was lucky enough to get a good job coming out of uni and some of the people attending have sent me random messages asking me to refer them. I refused based on the reason that I just didn't know them. Don't really want to see those people either. What is an elegant way to get out of it? We are Skyping tonight and she might ask me if I am going. Note I do hang out with smaller groups of her close friends and they love me.
veggirl Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Tell her what you told us: I just don't feel comfortable going for reasons X, Y, and Z. You can be honest with her!
FitChick Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 "There's really no one I want to see again. You go and have a good time catching up with your friends and you can tell me all about it afterward. Have fun!" Bottom line: "I don't want to go." 1
