It’s Wedding Season and I Don’t Have a Date

Wedding season brings stress for everyone not just the parents of the bride and the happy couple themselves. It seems that guests feel just as much pressure about the gift, the attire, and especially the date.

Are you looking for a date? Here are some ideas:

1. Ask a guy friend you consider to be in the safe zone
2. Bring a female friend or family member. Nobody said it had to be a boyfriend, right?
3. Post something on your online profile saying you’re looking for wedding dates this summer. There are men out there in need of dates too and might be in for a trade.
4. Go alone and make an effort to meet someone there.

To alleviate some of this pressure, of course there are limitless resources on the web. I took some time to find sites that might help. Check them out and let me know what you think.

      Here’s a thought, don’t bring a date! I always strived to bring one myself when I was single, then when I got married, I found that each guest to my wedding was costing $71 dollars apiece, not including venue, rehersal party or DJ.

      I was ecstatic when some of my friends came stag. One distant cousin brought her four teenage kids, costing me $355 for people I will never see again.

      As for gifts in this day and age, gauge the age of the folks getting married. I got married in my ’30s, and there isn’t one damn thing I needed, except not to be crushed under debt.

      I know, not romantic or civil, but the truth.

      Seriously SA–I’ve met so many people recently who met the love of their lives at a wedding. Why not open yourself up to the possibility?

      You know it warms my heart when you start a conversation with me with the word “Seriously”.

      Exactly what I was saying. No need to drag a complete stranger to the wedding, meet prospective suitors there!

      If none of the guests are to your taste, make friends with the caterers and DJs. Guaranteed to have some attractive single people involved.

      To me, weddings have more in common with the dentist’s office than they do celebration and good times. Stay home and send a nice gift, that’s what I say.
