Default Re: GF invites me to wake, whats my line?

You need to clarify a bit.

If she is a FRIEND, you help your friend out, male, female or something in between. That's what friends do.

If she's just a piece of ass, do what you want.

Simple enough.

Don't go. Meeting GF's family is awkward enough under normal conditions. It's inappropiate for her to ask you to meet her family at a wake, IMO. Hopefully she'll be able to see this.

Perhaps a good way to get into the families.. good graces. Go, meet them, and ask to hear stories about ol' gramps. Maybe he was a really cool guy. Maybe you can learn something about his life that you can apply to your own short existence on this planet.

Or you could waste the day playing video games/golf/poker while severly destroying your current relationship.

All else aside, this seems like the perfect time to meet the family. Being there by itself shows that you care for their daughter, it shows you're a stand up individual. And most importantly, you don't really have to make much small talk. A simple "Hello, sorry for you loss" and you're off the hook. You'll never get another chance like this again. (And if the people really want a distraction, they can just ask this new person about himself, and any mundane BS he spouts off will help distract them, which they'll be grateful for. Ego boosting for you, a distraction for them, everyone's a winner!)

Break up with her to get the upper hand. If she comes back she won't pull any of this BS.

No time to read all of the other posts (or really the OP), but, based upon the title of the OP, I say...

Get an alarm clock, and it won't be such a difficult question for you.

Meanwhile, just give in--go ahead and wake.

If she's your "Girlfriend" you go, ldo. If she's just a "friend" then you're not required. Doesn't matter if you've never met the family. As her "boyfriend" that is part of your duties.

So I take it you didn't go?? I read the whole thread, but might have missed it....

It is glaringly obvious you are missing some key information in your decision making. You really do want to go to this wake, and just don't know it yet.

First, wakes involve mucho alcohol. Think about it really hard, and try to remember the last time you had a bad time around a bunch of strangers when you were shitfaced drunk. Plus there is the added benefit that you will be in the best mood of anyone attending, and as a result that much more funny and charming after all that booze.

Second, and more importantly, I would refer you to Wedding Crashers. The only thing that gets women hotter than being a bridesmaid, is grief. Score!

Third, is that you are getting a valuable opportunity to check out the mother of this chick you are seeing, and most likely in a slimming black dress. This will allow you to make an informed decision as to whether to keep seeing the girl you're with or to run for the hills.

Let me know how the trip turns out!
