The guy Im dating for 5 weeks is going to take me with him to his works christmas party. We both live away from the venue of the party about 40 miles away from my house and he lives about 35 miles away from me. He doesn't want me to drive so the plan is he's going to drop me off after the party at my house. Im thinking that its logical to just rent a hotel nearby where we both can spend the night to avoid the potential of getting into an accident or him getting a DUI. The party is an open bar so its sure that were both going to have alcohol

 

I need some suggestions how to bring it up in such a way that I wouldn't sound like Im giving him a green light to have sex with me. We haven't been intimate and I like that were taking things slow. The farthest we've gone was kissing. Is this even a good idea. What do you guys think? Any suggestions how to bring it up and how to say it?

It's tricky. I would either stay sober & insist on driving or say that if he wants to get a hotel, you'd be happy to spring for your own room to avoid the DWI issue.

 

 

The other possibility is that he will be controlled & reserved because it is a work function. Conventional wisdom recommends not having more than 1-2 at the holiday party lest you do something that could get you fired. It's not like you're going to a wedding where over consumption is more the norm.

Are you giving him the Red Light then? Hotel definitely rings a bell in my ears... You can always get a cab. Would cost less than a hotel probably.... A hotel sounds like fun though.. hot tub!! oh but we aren't giving the green light.. my bad
