[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well now I’m more confused than when I posted the question, but I’m leaning towards going. I’ve gone to funerals where I’m not close to anyone mostly for work so different circumstances, but I think the sentiment is the same.[/quote]

Did he actually invite you? I'm guessing that for your work colleagues, the office got a general notice or invitation. [/quote]
He told her the details of the service which to me is an invitation to attend.  You are never wrong to attend a funeral.  Signed someone who has lost too many people to count.  I am forever grateful to those friends AND acquaintances who showed up.[/quote]

This this this.

All you has to do is go through the receiving line, say I'm sorry, and then skedaddle.

The only funerals I regret are the ones I didn't go to.[/quote]

No. You have no idea how this actually went down.  Maybe this guy has already decided there would be no 3rd date, and just offhandedly told OP where the funeral would be in response to pushy texts.  OP has no role at this funeral and should not go.  It's much more likely to be recieved as weird or unwelcome or stressful to him, than it is to be helpful.  Even if it's helpful, it's likely to be so minimal that it's not worth it. Frankly, OP appears to just be seeking this guy's attention, which is NOT what she should be doing. If she truly wanted to express condolences, there are a million ways to do that without being intrusive and inappropriate.  [/quote]
