Is it weird to ask some people you just play DND with to invite you to watch a show?
TLDR: People who I just hang out to play DND are getting together to watch my favorite show, and I want to ask them if I could join. Maybe it isn't that weird but I think it is.
Ok, so basically I have this DND group I met through my friend's gf, none of my friends are in the group. I've just went to a couple of games(less than 10) throughout say 2 years, so little because it wasn't a recurring thing, and the times there was a gathering I couldn't go. And there was a period where the group disbanded but because I don't hang out with them outside these occasional sessions I wasn't added to the new group, which now I'm in. Because my friend did hang out once and caught up with one of them and they talked and bla bla bla, I asked if I could join and now I'm in the group.
Anyway I'm not really friends with these people, I like them and I think they like me too, to a degree, we have fun. They are very nice, encourage me to play or try something I the game. Just that we don't meet outside of this. And theres little time after the session ends to talk bat other stuff, so I couldn't talk a lot with these guys. And tbh I didn't get the feeling they wanted to make friends since they don't ask me a lot of questions or seem interested in me much but considering the time we had maybe it doesn't mean much. But I'd really love to be friends since I'm missing friends who are as geeky as me lol.
Today we played (the second time I played since I started playing again) and when everyone was leaving, one person stayed because the DM(which is one of the people I "know" the most, and was the one I got in contact to ask if I could join their DND group) and them were watching a show which apparently they started watching from beginning to end.
This show happens to be my favorite show ever and honestly I wish they would have asked me to stay. Which of course it's not bad that they didn't but now to the question...
Is it too weird if I asked them something like "Hey is there a chance I could tag along with you and the others on this, I just really love the show and Id love to watch it along people, ofc no worries if not, I understand that we don't know each other a lot and the other people less so"
🫣😬
Idk maybe that doesn't sound so weird but I cant help think it is, specially if they don't see me as someone that could be their friend.
To clarify some things:
I don't think there's something more going on with these two, the DM has a partner and I think they don't go for guys. So I wouldn't be in the middle of something probably. And also one more person is watching it with them too just that today they couldn't come.
Also they're watching it because the DM wanted this other person to watch it, so they are watching it together apparently.
I see the DM as an honest or blunt person, so if I ask them and they don't want to invite me they would easily say it.
Now that I'm writing this I'm having doubts whether or not they were watching it together every time or this was a special occasion, but I think they did say that, and when I asked them at what part they were, they said "we're on season x"
And also I can't ask my friend's gf what they think bc they broke up, and I think they don't hang out much with this group now.
And one more thing, before the period where there wasn't any games I was invited to we did meet outside DND just once, in my house. As so happens my friend really wanted to make a gathering there and bc the DND group is his gf's group I could invite them all. And I wanted to keep in touch with this DND group so easily I agreed.
And I think we had a good time, we chatted, got to know each other a little more but that's about it outside the game. We didn't talk a lot through chat either. And tbh I was a bit sad they didn't think of me when making the other group but it's not that big a deal.
I say all of this to make sense of where we at in terms of friendship if it makes any difference lol
So yeaa, I may seem desperate to make friends (which I kinda am) but more desperate to make friends who watch this show, it would mean a lot to watch it together with people and hopefully eventually friends. But it's just to me it is so weird to ask that and I'd be embarrassed if they say no. Tho the DM seems pretty chill and maybe won't see me differently bc of that but idk the rest.
Anyways thanks to everyone who spent the time reading this lmao and more thanks if you reply.
