quote:Originally posted by anticipate3very After meeting twice I don't really think that would be very wise. Yes it's a social event that you could both enjoy but would you necessarily invite her to a casual dinner with your parents at this point? It's the same idea. I'm not too fond of that 3 month rule but I'm not quick to jump into social events after meeting a stranger twice. I don't know how exclusive a couple can be after only 2 dates but I wouldn't feel right in that situation. I know bringing her. to a party seems like a fun social thing to do but a birthday party is more personal. If you still feel like you want to invite her I'd be casual and explain that you're going to a b-day party and if she's comfortable then she's more than welcome to come. You may be on board but it takes two to tango.
Yeah, she ended it before I had a chance to ask her anyway.
It's been awhile so I just got to excited at the prospect of what could have been. I'll take things slowly next time
I'm not a big fan of automatic anything. For future reference, don't schedule things like when friends will meet etc. Just let it happen. When you are comfortable enough with each other, then include her in bigger social groups but don't exclude her just b/c of some page on a calendar.
DH met many of my friends early on b/c I was already doing something with them & just brought him along. It wasn't any big reveal or anything.
I agree with Trish. It really doesn't need to be some big reveal after some arbitrary amount of time.
Meeting friends has never been more complicated than him asking what I'm doing on Saturday and me answering, "I'm going bowling with some friends, want to come?!" If that happens after one week or a few months, then that is when it happens. I've never given it more thought than that. It is only as big of a deal as you make it, IMO.
That said, I'm sorry it didn't work out :/
