Well, your mate is obviously ok about it, it's how she is going to be that you have to think about.

All depends on them, some people would understand the awkwardness of the situation and make sure they kept everything low key while you were around while other people wouldn't think twice about kissing eachothers facees off while you sit quietly in the corner pretending you havn't noticed.

Tell your mate you don't want to feel like a 5th wheel and try and come up with a plan where by you can give them a bit of time on their own at some point.

Whats the worst that can happen...

You're pretty much spot on there.

Despite him being okay with me being there she's likely to want to be with him alone (understandably). She might say she's okay with it but I'd bet my bottom dollar she'll be longing for a kiss and a cuddle

Can we do trades outside the MM?

How long have YOU known this girl? If the three of you are already long standing friends then you have not much reason to worry.

From another perspective -
If you don't go might that seem to certain parties that the 'original' friendship (between the 3 of you) is being affected

I learn't from previous relationships, ditching your friends for a lass is dangerous. Hence I don't want him to feel hes not welcome since me and her are a thing (still getting use to the I am not single thing).

Anyhow its up to him.

Just to clarify FunkyT is referring to moi.

You're not - my decision

True but I don't really know her very well. In light of the fact that she's going home after the weekend I think it would be nice if they spent some time together (alone).

Now that's an angle I hadn't thought of

In light of your apparent desire to broadcast this new found love, I can suggest other ways of expression that might be more appropriate

None of these involve a 3rd party (generally).

Agreed. Did that last year, and only now am I really realising who my friends are, funny what it is you realise what you had when you lose it.

Nobody is turning their back on me, I just don't like being a gooseberry. If if I'm not, I'm still going to feel like one
