"Hey Michael, so, yeah, I'm just gonna show up to your kid's third grade graduation, what door do I enter the school in to look like a total creep?"
Er... a lot of that stuff is going to be like that, or going to the Children's museum, or a child's park, or family events with extended family, or family vacations/road trips. Kinda creepy to just show up at that stuff "oh hey, fancy that, how funny we ran into each other at Chuck-e-Cheese and I'm here without a kid and I think the police are now here to ask why I'm here as a single adult male with no child".
- Loughla 7y agoI mean, that's being purposefully difficult. Obviously there are places, like a school event, where it is not okay to go hang out. But why can't you go with a family friend to Chuck-e-Cheese? I'm not saying follow them, obviously. Plan ahead. Why not go with them to hang out while they watch their kids? Why not accompany the family to the park - if everyone (meaning friend, friend's spouse that sort of thing - not everyone in the park obviously) knows you're there to hang out with your friend, what's the problem? And you get to play with a kid, which can be fun.
