    Yeah, if the tickets are in demand, ask him if he can get another ticket so that your partner can come too and ask if he knows anyone he can bring along. Like a double date thing - he should get the message then.

    I don't think wild horses would drag my partner along if I met up with this guy again!

    I asked him and he said 'this is your mess; you indulged him. You sort it out. I'm not giving up my Friday night because you are too soft to tell him where to get off'.

    Just say NO :D. You don't owe this guy an explanation. May make you a tad uncomfortable but you will survive (I promise!)

    This guy wouldn't be carrying on like this in his own country. Our culture must be a bit difficult for him to get his head round and he probably hasn't got a good understanding of boundaries yet and isn't too clear about what signals you're sending him.
    Tell him NO very clearly.

    If I told my boyfriend I needed him to show up to give a work contact the right idea, he'd be there like a flash.. Is it giving up a friday night if the gig will be good?
