They are opportunists.

Her power is pulling out of this whole thing and not letting him leave her in the wings.

He also knows I am tight on money right now & cannot afford a concert, but he was well-mannered enough so far to not ask me to pay.

So I left him a message and said I would like to go and told him to call me back so we could make plans. I was direct because he is so shy and I'm through with coyness crap in dating.

So then he calls me and tells me his friend had said he was interested in going & offered to pay for the extra ticket, so he will see if his friend ends up paying to go or not. If not, then he wants me to go with him.



I reread your post and I noticed you said that you are tight with the money right now and that you are glad he didn't ask you to pay. Thats probably why I was thinking about you getting invited, and when you are invited you never have to pay.

I would talk to him anyways to get to the bottom of this.

I dunno really (to me personally). Not really advise. Just any of the possible outcomes to why and what he was thinking don't come out positive from what I gathered from the original post.

Either he's asking her to buy a ticket knowing she doesn't have the money, and he's romantically interested in her, which is unbelievably dumb IMO, or the other previously mentioned reasons by others.

Why? Is he really going to tell her the truth? Does it matter, now that he left a bad taste in her mouth because he is rude and selfish?

If it were me, I wouldn't want to be insulted anymore by this guy.

Yeah, I emailed him my response. I didn't ask for any explanation, and am not really interested in that.

I certainly wouldn't want to be someone's "back up plan"

He replied to my email. Now he says he's going to get tix to another show and said not to worry about paying him back.



He didn't even ask me if I was free that night. I replied & asked him if that was an invitation then & told him he was smooth (sarcastically).

IDK....I guess I will go and see how he behaves on a date. I wonder if this is just a maturity issue....I normally date guys a few years older than him.

Sounds like he has communication issues. Like asking if you are free on that day...he just puts it in gear and goes.
