| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/17/2008 7:49:20 PM | | Well was it actually going to be considered a 'date'? If not then he was possibly just inviting you to come and hang out with him and his peers... no pressure, just have some fun on a night out. | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/17/2008 8:17:24 PM | | Meeting the whole family......AND him..........I think I'd be so nervous... | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/17/2008 8:20:12 PM | You should've just invited your friends to come along too. The more the merrier...
Of course, if I was just meeting for coffee I wouldn't be taking my relatives or friends along (that is truely a little off). But often, I'll invite someone to join me on a night out, where I'd normally hang out with my sister. And have friends who hang out in the same place sometimes. But it's open that they could invite friends also...I think that is a completely different situation than which you speak of. | |

| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/17/2008 9:14:34 PM | | Oh hell......just tell him you're fine with that and you're bringing your 17 ferrets......*thinking* well and your Uncle Fester. I think some of the posts could be accurate about this being a shyness thing....I'd have to wonder what he would've said if you had asked him why he was bringing an entrourage. | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 1:36:50 AM | | Hmmm maybe they are into group sex and eyeing you up in preparation hahah...well ya never know ;-) Seriously he is weird or there is something fishy going on...pardon the pun. | |
|

| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 1:53:49 AM | No you're not wierd !
He must be into the "it takes a village to raise a child" thing. Get it he's still a child and the village had to be there to teach him how to date...etc.
OMG how did you even stay on that date? Did he give you no warning that he would be bringing the village...idiots?

| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 1:56:26 AM | It does seem a bit odd but not necessarily in a bad way. I would personally prefer to meet someone 1-1 for a short time but he might have any number of reasons for doing it that way. Maybe something family oriented came up and he didn't want to cancel? Maybe he just hangs out with his family all the time and it's normal for them to move in a group.
If you're the paranoid sort, it's possible that they are planning something bad (group sex or something) so I would definitely follow the usual safety rules for first meets.
You could always ask him why he wants to bring so many people | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 12:51:06 PM | Yes you are weird.....
Nope, your normal the guy is more than a bit odd. Sounds like a good idea to stay away from that one.  | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 2:22:58 PM | As long as I knew about it ahead of time, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If he's bringing friends, then I'm bringing friends and the pressure is off instead of on. Those kind of meets are much more fun. Invite a guy to a party, put him in contact with the host beforehand, really, meeting people in not a big deal, the more people there the more comfortable it is because if you find out 30 seconds into the first meet you couldn't even eat together, you both have other people and it isn't a wasted night.
But, if I get there and see five extra guys with him... ain't NO WAY I'm sitting down and I'm going to the manager to explain my situation and ask for an escourt back to my car. That's just psycho. I'd reccomend the same for guys, it's just crazy to surprise someone with that. Its not being paranoid, it's just not tempting fate. | |

| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/18/2008 5:21:07 PM | | well i brought my sister when i met somoen off here but it was more of a safty thing. i think it's very sweet he wants you to meet his family but maybe a bit much on the first encounter. ask him if you can go it alone then see how it goes...lol | |

| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/24/2008 7:09:39 PM | Shannon: Well, whats the ending?? Did you go? Was it a zoo scene? Come on, lets hear the ending...... | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/24/2008 11:02:55 PM | haha I'd be scared that they were going to kidnap you and take you to their compound or trailer park or something..... that is odd!!
I'm all for being close to your family but I can't imagine bringing any of mine on a first date with me (probably best for everyone involved hah) | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/25/2008 2:01:10 AM | you are not serious, are you??? | |
|
| ok am I weird? Posted: 5/25/2008 2:18:39 AM | Think he does not get out much
Family interview - twenty questions and you get one of them to go home, twenty more questions and another one goes, etc.,  | |
