Is this a bit weird?

[Resident]

Brief background then the Is it a bit weird bit.

Back in school I was an typical nerd and a girl had a crush on me. Being said nerd I was oblivious and nothing ever happened. Aged 25 one of my form mates had organised a 'post-uni reunion and I went along. The girl that had the crush on me called me out on not noticing her advances & that she still liked me. At the time I was in a relationship so again, nothing came of it & never saw her again.

Now for the potentially weird I'm now in my early 40s & her parents have messaged me & invited me to the girl's FUNERAL. She died of some rare neural disorder and created a list of people she wanted there. I asked if anyone else was listed from our school days, not one.

I'm I wrong for finding it all a bit out there?

Somebody you knew who liked you wants you at their funeral. What's weird about that?

I haven't seen or spoken to her in nearly 20 years. We were never friends & only in a few classes together. The reunion night was really the only time outside of class that I'd spend anytime with her and even then it was only minutes.

I'd go.

Clearly she recalled fond memories of you in her last days.

Honor them and go to it.

Only 1 day if your life. And free food.

The Mrs says I should too, for the same reasons. For some unfathomable reason I clearly made an impression.

Was she fit?

Last time I saw her she wasn't bad but then she was covered in the usual female 'war-paint'.

I suppose another thing to think about is: are you currently single? There might be women at the funeral who've heard what a dreamboat you are. Like, their dead friend vouched hard for you.

(I'm only partly joking)

Happily married, renewing vows next year.

Yes it's weird, I would not go, because it's someone I barely know. Sounds like she was a bit obsessed.

Hence the question. I asked because half of me said it was weird.
