    I have been asked to go to a wedding with a guy that I dont know very well. We met on a nite out and so don't know each other very well and I won't knjow anybody at the wedding as it is another end of the country.

    I need advice on whether I should accept or not, I like the guy and he seems very nice but I don't know him at all so it could be a long day:confused: also there is the issue of having to share a room with him that nite:confused:

    Have you established whether or not you're the bride?

    Why would you want to go to a strangers wedding with someone you don't know?

    Free food, free drink, excuse to dress up (if you're a girl, excuse to wear a nice pair of heels).

    Why not?!

    If it's going well with him, happy days and a nice hotel room experience.
    If it's not going well with him, there'll probably be plenty of other guys there, and if all else fails just get really drunk and pass out in a hotel room.

    Yeah, that would be a NO. It's a bit of a weird situation to be honest, and a bit cheeky to assume you'd share a room - like him or not. Kindly decline, but offer to meet up again if you feel up to it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,505 ✭✭✭ArtyC


    when is the wedding? will he be taking you out again before the day?

    Ask him if you can bring your Mammy.

    After one night out, "Will you come to a wedding with me?".

    Sounds dubious, could be bringing you to a cabin in the woods..... full of hatchets and knives.....

    Ah no, I'm sure it'd be alright....... I hope.....

    These comments are scaring me!!

    Ah to explain more I've met up with him 3 times and he seemed very nice, we met through mutual friends and its them that are telling me that he's a gent a would treat me really well, we've been txting alot so I'd feel I know him fairly well, its more that I feel is it a bit much to go to a wedding together and we'll get plauged with questions on whether we're a couple!!! and I do think the sharing of a room isn't ideal but dosn't mean anything will happed:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,230 ✭✭✭Merkin


    Mmm I'd say go for it on the proviso that he pays for a seperate room for you. It doesn't matter if you want to ride him into next week but at least have a get out clause....he could turn out to be a nightmare and I'd be MASSIVELY put off that he think it is fine to presume that you'll want to share a room with him after three dates

    Slightly contradictory to the OP.. but okay..

    Book yourself a single room for the night. Maybe he meant well, but at the same time it's a bit cheeky. If you have that single room to spare, at least you have something to fall back on. You said you don't know anyone else there, are the mutual friends not going? I personally wouldn't feel up to going to an event like that with someone I'd just met though..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 energeticxx


    No we met through mutual friends, the wedding is of someone that he works with and there'll be about 5 people from work there that he'll know, thats all, thanks for the advice, I'll be going with having my own room if I do go


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭TheUsual


    Enough with all the sensible "do-gooder" advice.
    Yuck !! This is After Hours ....


    Show up with a fake pregnant belly and half-way through the wedding scream "I'm having your baby you bastard !!!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭9959


    You know what they say: 'That going to a wedding is the making of another'
    Go girl!

    Oh well, in that case...

    Really?


    If you met him and he blew you away it would be a yes.

    Otherwise.... no.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    OP, he's looking for an excuse to get you drunk and shag you. End of. I'd be very dubious. No-one in their right mind invite someone they've only met to a wedding without an ulterior motive. On second thoughts, he might want to introduce you to the clan to size you up for marriage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    You want the D?

    If so, go.

    "D" ??

    What's a D ? You mean 'P' right, for Pizzaman ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    You have to weigh up the costs of going to a wedding like this to see if it is worth while or not.

    I would guess you would be lucky to get out of it for under e300 and that dose not include loss of earnings if you had to take the day or even following day off. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Where is the wedding? There are bound to be a few AH'ers that live nearby that you can use as back up people if he turns out to be a psycho...


  • Registered Users Posts: 36 Lexe


    Go! It's a compliment to be asked to a wedding, he's single and didn't have anyone else to ask. Just get yourself a single room, if it's not used what harm but have it there in case! Wedding are always great craic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭lab man


    GO ffs maybe ye'll hit it off, get the second room tho

    This lady is correct.

    Book yourself a room as a safety net and sure if he turns out to be Ted Bundy, leg it to your own room and sleep 'till midday.

    Best just to have sex with him since you think he is nice at the wedding then you wont have to worry about being afraid of sex ,If you dont like him after you dont have to marry him, just make sure he wears a johnny, wheres the damage like, In fact all Irish women should just have sex all the time, Id love it if women were like men and you wanted sex all the time as much as men do, As a man I think some women find it hard to develop sexually because women dont need an erection for sex which makes it easy for a woman to become uninterested in sex/ bored and just lye back and go through the motions. If the wedding is close by you can just head phone faking illness if it gets too much, I say go, everyone gets nervous before going to these sort of social occasions, Im sure there will be other people there like you who only know their partner & nobody else, Dont overthink it

    I've heard this sentiment before and I find it quite odd. I've never set myself on fire. Oddly, I don't regret not doing it.

    Speaking for myself, any wedding I've ever been to has been a torturous bore......and that's when I knew the bride and groom. I can't imagine sitting through it when I didn't even know them. However it sounds as if you like him alot OP and are just looking for social approval.

    Just go. You obviously want to.

    As a male I can guarantee this thought has crossed his mind.

    "After she's see's all the lovey dovey stuff, she would be randy as ****. Im on a sure bet"

    Now I ain't gonna hate on a dawg trying to bury his bone, but it is a bit creepy to ask a girl you barely know to a wedding including overnight stay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    Ah here, I think people are taking this a bit seriously! Is it that big a deal going to a wedding with someone? Ffs go and have a laugh! :D

    If you're not ready to sleep with the guy just be upfront about it before you go. Course since things are going well between you and all, you may change your mind after a few drinks :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,999 ✭✭✭0ph0rce0


    You gotta feel bad for the Guy now, he's probably the nicest guy ever and all the stuff the posters have put in your head now :D

    He hasn't a chance of the ride now. Shame on you guys.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    It's no dilemma, just don't go.
    Don't you have girlfriends you can hash this out with?

    Weddings are the most Godawful load of shíte at the best of times. The fact that this guy that you barely know has asked you to one means he deserves a good slap. The added fact that you don't know the people involved means that you should probably knee him in the balls too. It being an overnighter means you should stick a couple of boots in his face while he's curled up in a ball and finally because he wants to share a room with you he should be set on fire and beaten with shovels.

    So in summary polite decline but put all of the above into your eyes when you say it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,415 ✭✭✭Lord Trollington


    First things First. I see no reason why the OP shouldn't go. Asked to a wedding by a lad and the first thing that springs to her mind is he's :

    1. He's going to ride you within an inch of your life when he gets you drunk.

    2. He's not right in the head for asking someone he barely knows to a wedding in the first place.

    Where is the wedding demographically? Do you have to stay overnight there?

    You say you've been texting him, why not meet up a few more times before the wedding to get to know him a bit better.

    I presume you're both adults but the original post sounds like you're at most 16/17.
    I presume you could both stay in the same room in separate beds if needs be. Book a twin room.
    Talk it out with the lad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,051 ✭✭✭keysersoze0330


    When you tell him about the second room, you won't have the dilemma to worry about:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    Any wedding I've ever been to has been godawfully boring. I envisage you stuck at a table trying to make idle chit chat for a few hours with people you don't know.

    Why should he pay for a separate room? Anyone with any bit of decency would at least offer to pay for half a shared room or for their own room if thats what they prefer.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Caveman1


    Weddings are boring its the afters that are great craic. You should just go and enjoy yourself, the guy is obviously a gentleman if you still havnt put out after 3 dates, yet he still asks you out agian :pac:
