Not really any of my business but I am involved on the perifory.

So man, 53 was invited by woman 41 to be plus one at a midweek wedding 5 hours from home, involving 2 nights in a hotel. Both these people are good friends of mine, I know them separately, they know each other through me. He was "chosen" as plus on because frankly at our ages there aren't that many single friends who will take 3 days off work to go to the wedding of someone they don't know.

Anyway, they were just friends, it's all very platonic. It looks like they had a lovely time, she looked beautiful at the wedding, he scrubbed up well too, they did the tourist thing while they were away. She's told me he was a perfect gentleman the whole time.

However, I've also spent a weekend with him on a "platonic" basis. We were away as a group with odd number of m/f and as the only people without partners at home, we shared a room. He was indeed lovely and respectful, but it wasn't strictly platonic!

He and I have put that to bed ages ago and if they are getting together I'd be thrilled for them. However, I know she has had a thing for another man in our group and if she's moved on from that, I'd be quite interested in him 😆 So did they have a perfect coupley weekend on a strictly platonic basis?

What does it matter? If you want to pursue man a or b just do
Man a and b are having fun, who knows whether any of them want to be in a relationship? Just go for it see what happpens

Unless they are in an actual relationship then he isn't off limits.

How the hell would we know whether they were platonic or not? Ask her and tell her you like bachelor b and would like to persue something with him.

Btw your friendship group sounds great

It does, doesn't it.

I want to be part of your friendship group @Parrotcup .
Sexy Steve and Delicious Derek sound great. 😋

Yes, I'm very fortunate. It's been a classic case of you find out who your friends are. I had a horrible thing happen c. 3 years ago. Many of the people I thought were good friends just melted away. This little band of misfits 😆 have been amazing to me. I'm very keen not to mess it up so probably it's unwise anyway. The thing with "Steve" isn't something to regret though and has never been weird.
