So I had a first date with a guy today. It went great. We talked about 15 minutes on the phone a few hours after the date and agreed we want to hangout again. I have a weird work schedule so I'm only off 2 days during the week and Sundays, so we didn't set a date to hangout yet. My birthday dinner is this Sunday and I mentioned that I was looking for a dress and that I invited a few people. He's a cool guy and we can definitely relate. I'm unsure if I should invite him or not. We don't really know each other and he's kinda introverted(as I am) and I don't want to make things awkward. But I'd love for him to be there. Opinions please

Why in the world would you need strangers on a forum to give you opinions? Make a decision on your own. If you REALLY wanted him there you would not have to ask anyone else for opinions, you would have already asked him to be there.

Invite him. Tell him it'll be a small group. If he feels that would be too much, he can politely decline. Tell him there'll be free cake, lol! Maybe that'll help him overcome his shyness.

I just thought it would be awkward...we met online and this would be the 2nd time ever seeing each other.

Yea, it would probably be awkward.
I would recommend not inviting him. You will be stressed, and he will he stressed, and who knows what can happen. Too soon to meet family/friends yet.

Schedule your next meet up around your sunday plans. Maybe meet him up for a brunch or sunday before plans with your family friends or maybe meet for ice cream or a drink at a bar once your commitment wirh family is complete on Sunday if feasible.

I say no. Why? it would be awkward. Plus you hardly know him. Keep seeing him but personally I don't think you have known him long enough to invite him to that.

I'd tell him you had a good time on your date with him, and want to know if he would feel comfortable coming to your b-day party. If he says yes, invite him, if he says no, tell him that is ok and don't.

Dont invite him. You just met him and it would be really awkward for him and it could spoil something that could be good in the future
