Ummm....
First, a question.
Since my last day of work is 12/19 and leaving PA for good 12/26, I had wanted to get-together with some of the people at work. Ya, know, dinner & drinks, whatever. How do I request their presence without it coming out like I'm footing the bill? This was what i thought about posting.

Second thing, have any of you been contacted by people from classmates.com? Well not contacted directly, but messages left on the site by someone you dated...10 or years ago!? When I was working briefly in NV, I dated a guy working at the casino I was doing a show in. i came back to PA, we tried the phone relationship which eventually ended after several excuses and canceled attempts at him supposedly coming in to visit. That was in the late 90's. So in 2001, he was able to contact me through Classmates.com. We chatted a bit and he sent me a letter telling me how wrong he was in letting me go, yadda..yadda... and invited me to stay with him, all expenses paid, for the month of January. Um... haven't seen you in a couple of years or talked to you yet you want me to shack up with you for a month. i just stopped responding to his emails after that. Now apparently, he has again tried to contact me through Classmates.com. I signed in and there is a message from him dated from November about chatting and catching up. He must be between girlfriends again. I find it curious that he keep wanting to make contact with me. Part of me wants to find out his deal and part of me just says that part of my life is over. Problem is I'm exceedingly curious and nosey.
Re: Ummm....
What if you did it informally, verbally, saying meeting for drinks/happy hour? To me, that would imply getting together w/o you footing the bill.
As for the classmates things - I've never had that happen through classmates, but I did have an old boyfriend (my 1st serious boyfriend) try to contact me several times/years after I stopped even "being friends" with him. He emailed a few times and even sent a postcard to my dad's house. I just responded to one email that I was in a relationship (with DH before he was DH) and really happy. I think he got the message and has left me alone ever since.
I'd do it verbally, just saying "hey, let's go out for dinner and drinks before I leave" and that leaves it open to everyone chipping in. I think a written invite looks more like you're hosting (and paying).
And that's really weird about the classmates.com guy! I'd be a little freaked out!
Ditto the informal verbal invite...although I love your wording!
I've been contacted before by old flames, but none of them were ever weird about it. Just a hello, how are you kinda thing. Your guy is creepy.
Thanks Ladies!
yeah, the guy i spoke of has some issues, not creepy, just a lot of baggage.
