I have recently joined a local sports team, as a way of getting some fitness in. The team are nice enough but we still dont really know each other that well.
We have a new person joining our team and they have asked if anyone is able to give them lifts home after each weekly game.
We play in the area i live in, it's a couple mins drive from mine, very handy.
This team member lives in the next town along and it turns out im nearest so i was asked if i could be the person to do it.
I was caught off guard & said it should be fine but really i was thinking no way!
As much as im nearest than the other team members, i still have to drive past my house, and back again.
Honestly i'm not the best at speaking up, plus massive introvert & this just feels like it will ruin my experience, i really am enjoying the game but now don't know how to say no without sounding mean.
I just don't want to
a) feel obligated to do something I don't want to
b) have someone in my car when im all hot & sweaty
C) make small talk
d) go out of my way for someone ive never met!
I don't know, aibu?
How do i get out of this!
