Plus one?
So as I sit here, with just over a month until my 30th birthday, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my life to this point. I never really expected my life to take the turns it has over the past 6 months. I never expected myself to be separated, awaiting a divorce for the first thing. But it hasn’t been all bad, but it sure hasn’t been all good either.
I just received an invitation to my cousin Thomas’ wedding in October. And just like those corny made-for-TV movies, it has the dreaded “and guest” that as of this point in time I have no idea how I’m going to fill it out. I mean, there has been someone I’ve dated a few times, but I’m still unsure where we set as we’re both at different points in our separations, which makes situations like this a little awkward. I was never good at the dating game to begin with, and being out of the dating game for several years hasn’t helped any, and I can be a little smothering (yes, I’ll admit it), which I know she doesn’t like. From the few dates we’ve been on, I could see us being very very good friends, if not more (is it wrong to hope for more at this point in time), but does that mean I can or should ask her to be the +1 (and if she reads this and wants to answer) at this point in time? Maybe all these questions will answer themselves before I need to RSVP, but it really has my mind going overdrive.
So what would you do in my situation? How would you handle the +1?
Go for it! Life’s too short to be worrying about it. Ask her, and if she says yes, great, and you’ll likely have a good time. If she says no, you’re right where you are now.
