I met a guy through a mutual friend. Even though I wasn’t interested at first, he started to pursue me after we knew each other a while. He seems really sweet, funny, well educated, and high value all around. It turned out I was wrong, of course. After he pursued/courted me for 2 months, we become official and he immediately loses interest and let’s the mask slip and show how low value he actually is. I won’t get into details but I ended it over text after he let the red flags pile up for several days.

Here’s the thing: we have a music festival that we’re going to with a group of friends in 2 weeks. I’m a little worried that after a few drinks, he’ll want to try and rekindle things. And I know that if I’ve also had a few drinks, I will want to hear him out. Should I go to the festival and enjoy my time with my friends, or should I try and sell my ticket to avoid being in that awkward spot?
