) Has anyone had any experience with someone like this? What's the best way for me to handle this?Linda and I have been taking wine tasting courses for a couple of years. At one of the courses, we sat at a table with four women. The six of us hit it off grand, and, after the wine course, we got into a pattern where each of us would host a "wine-tasting" dinner every month or two. These things usually start at 7:00 and go well past midnight. Needless to say, all six of us enjoy them immensely.
Two weeks ago, Linda and I had our annual backyard barbecue. "Dave" was there, and so was one of the women from the wine-tasting group. I guess the subject of where they knew us from came up, and led into an explanation of the wine-tasting dinners, etc., etc. Anyway, "Dave" expressed an "interest" in learning about wines, and in "participating" in these dinners. Linda and I are hosting the next one in a month or so, and when this woman confirmed in a phone message, she reminded us that "Dave" was interested. Needless to say, this pisses me off because I feel that "Dave" is trying to insinuate himself in this circle of friends that Linda and I have. He doesn't know about the dinner, so I don't have to worry about rebuffing him on that. But I know at some point when I see him in the future this subject will come up, and I'm at a loss as to how to handle it diplomatically. (My first instinct is to give him $20 and tell him to go buy himself some friends. ) Has anyone had any experience with someone like this? What's the best way for me to handle this?
