I would go and have a good time. There will be food, drinks, dancing and shooting the breeze. She wants to show you off man. I think it will be a good idea.baltyre said:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
GF upset I won't go to her HS reunion w/her

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Two choices:
1) Go
2) Dump her and find a girl who grew up enough to move on after high school.

If you change your mind, how are you going to convince her you really want to go.
Damn straight.And some men wonder why their women cheat on them.
You're in a relationship with her? Then you have a responsibility to do your share and that means compromising here and there and keeping her happy. Your reasoning makes you sound like a baby about this. It's only one night. If you can't handle that, how the hell are you going to handle bigger issues with her when the time comes?
Maybe she wants to show you off? Maybe she wants a guy she can share her fun with? Just go and make it fun.
You read that thread where the guy neglected taking his wife out? Has excuses like funds are low, just had a baby. But the wife was asking and asking to be taken out. And he didn't.
Guess what? She found another guy to take her out.
Learn from other people's mistakes. It's less costly that way.

baltyre said:We've been together for 4+ months. She has her 10 year high school reunion in May. It is formal with everybody getting dressed up & going all out. I told her I didn't want to go and now she is mad at me.
For starters, I won't know anybody and it will be boring. She's excited about talking to old friends, but that will be very boring for me. It just seems like a lot of hassle, and we've only been together for 4+ months. It will kill my entire Saturday too. I don't think I'm being selfish, it's not like I've known her for 7-8 months, just 4+. What do you think?
you should go..are you kidding me? If she is taking you around all these people..she thinks ur the deal
4 months is a pretty long time..I can see why she is pissed.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I remember reluctantly going to an old GFs office party. She was so thankful that she gave me a night of pure sexual pleasure. It was worth it.
Having said that, you should go with her. It is part of your responsibilty as her BF. Cheers!

You sound like a little pansy girl with your whining. Get your azz in gear and go with your woman!baltyre said:For starters, I won't know anybody and it will be boring.

How about:Two choices:
1) Go
2) Dump her and find a girl who grew up enough to move on after high school.
3. Dump her and find a girl that never made it to high school in the first place.
