Should I go to his mother’s funeral?

Anonymous
We’ve only been on 2 dates. Haven’t met friends or family yet. His mom died unexpectedly.

Yes, I would. Even if it does not go anywhere, it's the supportive thing to do.

Go. He’ll remember the people who were there for him.

I vote no because you didn't even know her. You go to a funeral to pay your respects. Not to tag along as someone's companion. It's not a wedding people.

Your presence at a funeral is meaningless to the deceased. You go to support the loved ones left behind.

I would go but not with him as one PP suggested. Sit in the back, don't be clingy but do let him know you were there.

I wouldn’t. Don’t play wife to someone you’ve been out with twice.

Go, but be COMPLETELY unobtrusive. Don't say anthing to anyone other than "we're friends."

Funerals are for the living, dont you know that? If this guy is such a snowflake and can't handle life, then by all means go with him.

Has he asked you to go? If so, go for sure.

If not, I agree - show up sit in the back, pay your respects and leave. Don't tell anyone you are dating him.

There’s something seriously wrong with you.

He just lost his mother... he can’t handle navigating the awkwardness of inviting you to the funeral. I agree with all who’ve said to go and sit in the back. FWIW, anytime you can show up at a funeral you should. Even if you just wanted to be friends, it’s nice to go. Don’t overthink this one!

Yes to sitting in the back. You don't need to stay for the luncheon (if there is one) or go to the gravesite.
