Dude, you made your bed.
"me, not wanting to be a dick" LOL.
Right? Too late.
God what a dick. Should’ve just been straight with him instead of stepping on eggshells and cleaning them up later. No matter what you do he’ll know, he might not say it, but he’ll know. And he’ll be crushed.
If you un-invite this guy you are colossal asshole.
Maybe try to think of ways it can be fun and introduce him to your other friends instead. Maybe he’ll like them. Maybe he’ll find a better friend than you.
Way to be a cowardly jackass lmao
You can’t.
But you can change your behavior for next time.
Really, it’s a minor inconvenience, not a major disaster.
Everything will be 👌
You’re a dick already for posting this.
Your gf may have drunkenly invited him, but you could’ve mentioned in that moment that you didn’t think it would be the best idea or would have to be aligned with the rest of the group first, rather than sending him the website and asking him to buy a ticket.
I am also not entirely sure why you don’t want him to come. If he is a good and social guy then what’s the problem? Him being glued to you is an assumption you are making. I have been invited by friends to join their group friends multiple times. I was never glued to them to the whole time. I was introduced, started making small talk, trying to get to know the people. It usually ends up in me talking more to the people I don’t know rather than the actual friend who invited me on those occasions.
Rest assured the guy is not going to expect you to babysit him during the event. And if you do find him being too glued to you that night then simply say “hé man, I’m gonna go talk to my other friends for a bit now”. Surely he would understand and will find his way talking to some other folks for a bit.
Idk, don’t underestimate someones social capabilities and just give the guy a chance rather than making all these assumptions. Just be chill and go with the flow that night.
Richard, your future self will thank you for not living down to expectations, going by your nickname.
Dick.
You don't actually know that he will glue himself to you.
It is one night of your life. Suck it up and do the right thing.

You’re already the dick
The only thing that worries me is that your GF invited him.

Ok first, don't be a dick. You invited him, keep your word.
Second, spend a little extra energy early introducing him to your friends, especially anyone who has something in common with him. You'll save your night AND be an awesome friend.
