So if you've been following my posts, I've had a couple of dates with a guy, and we're supposed to have our third date tomorrow night.
This past Monday he asked, if I could spare a night for him this weekend, I said of course but I have a communion to go to Saturday night, so it would have to be Friday, he said no problem.
Now some of my friends are saying he may feel slighted if I do not invite him to the communion as my date on Saturday, however I feel like its still very new, it's only been a couple of dates and I don't really want to bring him around everyone just yet (the family of the girl who is having the communion, is like my second family, they are very close to me). At the same time I don't want to offend him and make him think I'm not interested, I just don't want to scare him away by inviting him to a big event with people who are super close to me.
I know I should just do what I feel comfortable with, but I'm conflicted, since on the one hand I would like him to come with me, but on the other hand I'm afraid it might be too much and I don't want to scare him away.

1) Same advice as the last several. Stop thinking so much!!!! Chill the heck out and go with the flow. You can't seriously enjoy stressing over stuff like this. Dating is about having fun!
2) Update a thread you already have instead of making new ones for every tiny question.
I am not a fan of bringing dates to church. That event is not about you at all, and some parents would be upset that you were treating a sacred event like a date at Ruby Tuesday's. You just met the guy.

I wouldn't bring him to the church, just to the reception. They definitely would not be offended, they're the ones asking me to bring a date. But you're right I did just meet him.
OMG, Do NOT invite him to an event with your family/friends for a third date. I can't believe you're even considering it. He's a GUY for heaven's sake, what GUY would want to go to a communion reception with total strangers? Husbands who've been in the family for years don't even want to go to that reception.
I know I'm a heathen so you can take my opinion with a large grain of salt - but I wouldn't want to be invited to a Communion so shortly after starting dating someone. Nor would I want to invited someone that I had just started dating to something like that.
