Is this wrong?
| Mon, 05-15-2006 - 6:37pm |
CL guy wants me to go with him to ABILENE to see an airshow this weekend. Now, I detest airshows to begin with, even more so airshows that I have to drive like 10 hours to see. I was non committal when he first brought it up, but when he asks again, I'm going to tell him that my dad surprised me with PGA tickets for Sunday and I can't really say no to him (he knows I really wanted to go to the tournament this past weekend and it fell through).
Will I go to you know where for this? I can't even begin to explain how much I hate airshows.
(I really hope he's not lurking on this board)

I'm right with you about airshows, they just creep me out. I would never go to one, especially so far away. I wonder though why you don't just tell him you don't like airshows and suggest something else for that day? Honesty is always the best policy and I don't think his feelings would be hurt, do you?

Let's say you end up with this guy "forever" or he asks you in the future to another "air show" I'd just tell him you don't enjoy them and be honest.
I'm not understanding why you just can't tell him, "Gosh, I appreciate the invitation, but I don't enjoy airshows. I know it's unusual to be in this industry and not like them, but I just don't. Have a great time though!"

I just feel like I'm going to get questioned - you know, "Why don't you like them? Have you ever been to one? Don't you like looking at airplanes? How can you not? But it's the Thunderbirds! And a great road trip!"
Blah.
Okayyy...but so what? Isn't that a natural part of the getting to know you process? Besides, you can just say "because I just don't" if you want to, LOL!

I'm 100% with Sheri.
As the other ladies said, I would just be honest but nice... :o)
And can I go with him? I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the Thunderbirds! OMG they used to come to Brooklyn every 4th of July!

Well, I was exaggerating, I think it's like 3 hours.
And yes, we've been seeing each other for almost two months.
