This would be annoying, right?

I am pretty sure that I already know what I am going to do, but maybe some outside voices will re-inforce or make me re-think...

Anyways...Background

A month ago, a friend (J) and I talked about seeing Neil DeGrasse Tyson when he comes into town because we both geek out about this kind of stuff. Another friend (P) also said she wanted to come and I offered to buy tickets since I sit at a desk all day and they do not. I also don't mind getting the extra points on my CC, lol.

Tickets have been purchased, and J reimbursed me. P has not and has now said she can't go. It's fine, the show is in January, so plenty of heads up to get rid of a ticket that is for a popular show.

The question...

Would it be weird if I suggested offering the ticket to a dude I am seeing-ish (Vegas, ha)? I don't want my friend to feel 3rd wheel-ish, and when we are around other people, Vegas and I act more friendly than intimate (I think).

I just know that it is something V would love to see because he also geeks out about space and shit...hell, his FB background profile pic thing is a Neil quote.

Right now, I am just planning on asking if J would feel comfortable with this before even mentioning it to V. If she wants it to remain a girls night, then I am totally cool with either finding another GF who wants to come, or trying to sell the seat to a random person. But I also like to share things with people who have equal enthusiasm over the subject/event, and Vegas definitely fits that bill.

Yeah, I'd just ask J. Hopefully she's cool with it, because I agree, better to be with someone who's super into the show.

Or, I'll go with you! I'd love to see NGT. He rules.

I have a huge third wheel complex so yea I'd be annoyed. But if you asked me I'd say it's fine and be nice and friendly all night. But you know your friend better. I'm more sensitive to being a third wheel if I'm single. Is she single? If so I might focus on it being girls or selling the ticket.
