[quote=Anonymous]What exactly is this invite? For you to see a game, sitting apart from him, and what? Would you be spending the night or going out to dinner with him or something? If he's sitting with his friends and then going to party with them before/after, then no, I wouldn't drive up just to sit at a game, apart. That's not quality time.

It's good that he's asking you, I would try to suss out why - if it's his desire to see you, or because he thinks he's offering a distraction from your family problem (which is super sweet!). He is young, and maybe doesn't understand that an older person gets very tired from that much driving (I'm in my early 40s and wouldn't drive 12 hours for this!). If you don't get the sense that he's depressed or in distress, I would tell him how much you appreciate it and just explain you're worn out from this weekend's driving and family stuff but you want to make plans for another weekend when you guys can do something together, or perhaps you can find some event that is at the halfway point where you all can meet up if he has transportation.[/quote]
