Please don’t judge me to hard

This is gonna sound really silly but my anxiety is through the roof.

a man who has been asking me to take me out since 2018 is taking part in a celebrity charity football match (celebrity side) and has asked me to go. It’s a family event so thought it would be something fun to do with my boy for the day as it’s a 2 hour drive each way.

Well now I’m panicking!! The whole influencer life really isn’t my circle so I was hoping to slide in, watch, see him briefly after and then disappear. He has other ideas! He wants me to get there a bit early and take me and my boy in to meet everyone!’

Its gonna be cold and even raining so it’s not exactly a look my best event and I don’t wanna look like a fan girl!!

can someone help me stop overthinking this?!

He’s married!! 🤣🤣

How did DC even know about the event? Seems an odd thing for an under 18 to have come across independently and request to be taken to…..

Then again one of my teens drags us to some stuff they come across online to do with a hobby.

I asked him if he wanted to go, it’s a family event.

my DC is 12 and a gamer so if he wants to go to something that’s actually outside the house, I’m jumping on it 🤣🤣

Why are some posters interrogating ? Troll hunting ?

Ooh , Dan Osbourne is cute OP...... Aargh, Married ?

Please do not delete this thread lol

From the OP's OP:
a man who has been asking me to take me out since 2018 is taking part in a celebrity charity football match (celebrity side) and has asked me to go.

A later post:
Noooo! I made a joke about just turning up to him and then my mates said why don’t we go. He knows I’m going now

OP. whose idea was it that you attend, yours or his?

This is exactly what I’m nervous about!!

the amount of comments suggesting that I pay a subscription to speak to him. One even suggesting he’s been grooming me and asking if he’s asked me for money!!

Like I said, I made a joke about turning up and not telling him. He then said it’d be great if I actually went so I asked the girls if they’d be up for it, they was so o said I’d go

Celebrity : Well it's 8 years of knowing each other without meeting, you really the woman in your profile pic and aren't actually a hairy backed biker are you , haha?
OP: well maybe I will come on Sunday , maybe you'll find out then. If you're lucky.
Celeb : You ABSOLUTELY should come. Pls. I don't bite I promise. Bring your mates and son too. I promise it'll be fun.
OP : Well....maybe.....

In my head it went something like this :-)

Basically that’s exactly how he went. Only difference is he said he’s really looking forward to meeting me in person lol x

I just wanna add to this that I do not pay any subscription to speak to him, he’s never asked me for a penny and he’s definitely not been grooming me 🤣🤣

Wtf is with all the sour arses on this thread berating op for what ? Op go and have th best time who knows where it will lead to x

Thank you!!

I literally said in the original post I’m in my head about it and overthinking it and then comments saying I pay a subscription to talk to him. Which I absolutely do not do, asking why would he keep in touch for all these years when I’m declined he’s date offers, i was just a fan of his and that’s how we started talking …. Talk about make a girl feel good about herself eh!! 🤣🤣

He’s not some big name, he’s not even listed on the list of ‘celebrities’ playing, he’s not minted, I probably earn more money than him. It was about him wanting to introduce me to all these years other players etc that was making me nervous 🤣🤣

As an Everton season ticket holder my self. A celebrity match is probably better than anything we’ve watched recently haha

I’m not even I to football but I do love the atmosphere when actually at a game. Used to love it when I worked for spurs while I was at college!!

Sadly, too true. At least our travelling contingent got to enjoy a good win at Newcastle today. COYB! 💙

Tried their best to make a mess of that too though!! Roll on Tuesday 😂😂😂

What’s wrong with Gaffney and Ricky Groves?! 😁

All set OP?

It's natural to feel a bit daunted doing something social like this when you feel a bit out of touch with who you are, other than a parent. I would just look at it as going to see a friend rather than a potential date as such. You can then decide if you might want me to see him as someone you could have a connection with and then date without having your child around. Remember celebs are just people too. Your friend probably just wants to see you and let you meet people he's friends with, so just treat them like you would any other friend of a friend.
You have the option to leave at any point if you get overwhelmed or find it's not your thing. It's all about taking little steps into becoming more social and rediscovering what you the person, rather than you the mum, enjoys doing. Our brains are good at imagining "scary" when faced with an unknown but it's invariably much less scary in reality. You can do this, don't let your brain scare you out of a potential enjoyable day.

This is an odd post. Is it bragging? Not sure. You are a grown ass woman.
Go or dont go.
Enjoy yourself if you do amd stay safe.
If its going to turn into food or drinks after dont take your child.

Not sure why it needs 9 pages 😂

I really hope we get an update 😁 loving vicariously through you @SENDChaos

Why not?

Why not what

If you don't want to do the meet n greet just say no.

Why not 9 pages? If your not interested just don't join in.
