we were having a similar conversation in the "what not to bring" thread yesterday. while I disagree with jimmyroo's thought that you should absolutely not bring your SO with you, I do agree that I would have to be in something serious before I brought someone with me to roo. I mean, I guess it would depend on the person, but if we weren't totally comfortable together yet I feel like it would end in disaster and I would be annoyed by them all weekend. basically I just don't want someone super clingy. I wanna do my own thing. and I don't want to babysit.
Exactly. My SO and I had been dating for 6 or 7 months at that point and we were totally comfortable being with each other for that period of time, but afterwards I found - and this may sound douchey - that Roo is a place where I don't want to have to worry about anybody's wants or needs but my own. There was never any real conflict, but I kept getting anxiety about whether or not he was enjoying himself, or whether or not he was just going along with what I wanted to do, etc. The dynamic was anxiety-provoking to me.
Totally understand that. I felt that way, too, at times. Mainly because I had gone to the festival a bunch already so I felt like I had to "entertain her" as if she were a guest in my home. Constantly checking to see if they want to do something else/get food/lay down or whatever.
I learned in my second or third year that being solo (I would go into Centeroo hours before my friends cuz they were all lazy and didn't care) was so much better. No waiting around for others and no worrying about everyone having a good time. Though there certainly are benefits to being a couple at a fest (like one person holding a spot and the other going to grab food/drinks or hit up a bathroom).
Have to say, I've really enjoyed the past couple of months on here. Y'all seem like good people. I never know what I'm going to see when logging in. From Cheetos to sandwiches to relationship issues. You're like a little dysfunctional family - at the end of the day you have to love each other no matter what kinda verbal shit slinging has been going on.

Now even when considering other (completely platonic) friends to Roo, I'm hesitant because most of my friendships are one-on-one relationships (as opposed to a group of friends), and I don't want anyone else sticking to my hip or being clingy, like you said. I'd have to go with the type of friend that would be comfortable being like "BYE, SEE YA!" and just seeing me randomly if that was how things worked out. I feel like a lot of people don't have that level of independence in such a setting for the first time.
omg for real. I brought a bunch of friends to join my group this last year - some from home and some from minneapolis. I only invited friends who I knew would be cool with me doing the whole "KBAI CYA!" thing. they all ended up being great roo companions.
I totally do not want to feel like I have to entertain or worry too much about someone. obviously I care about my friends and want to meet up and see them and whatnot, but if someone gets into a show and loses track of time and don't come meet me at the beer tent when they say they will, I don't stress about it. I just say oh well and go where ever I feel like. if I wasn't in a comfortable relationship, that would never fly. sounds too stressful. probably would also mean I'm dating the wrong person.
my invisible boyfriend and I will be enjoying our 4th year of festivals together. we really have a great system down.

Is that you in your avatar pic? If so, urrrrr cute. (I'm already practicing my "now I'm single" moves. How are they working out?)
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

If you're into lizard masks, then thanks. The blonde is my better half.
Also, I'm not one to give advice on moves. I'm kind of socially inept.

I definitely meant your gf (sorry, lizard masks dont do it for me, but I'm sure you're lovely on the inside), but "better half" kind of speak is not acceptable in this thread today. Let bitterness reign, and then check back tomorrow.
God, I'm being an asshole today. Everyone ignore me.

C'mon man, you gotta be more subtle if you're going to flirt on Inforoo. It starts with post-liking, and then some light teasing mixed in with sincerity and humor sprinkles. Also make sure the person you're trying to flirt with is actually the person behind the keyboard, and not actually a man in a lizard mask. That helps.

I've seen the pictures from that weekend.... You really could've peed in his shoe. I'm genuinely curious if this actually happened or not now.
The fact that he is still alive is all the evidence you need to know his pee never came in contact with me or my footwear.
He never said you had the shoes ON... I just pictured him laughing about having to pee so bad and running to the front porch where your shoes were and then just peeing on everyone's shoes while he giggled like a child...
