Your above post is EXACTLY why I started this thread! WHY do you feel the need to take a date? What would it imply if you DON'T HAVE ONE??? 
 
Maybe this is just an extension of the pressure we are put under in this society to be coupled up?? 
 
I don't mean to single you out, but I read the other responses and everyone kept saying "I don't need one" and so on and so forth, but this is what people really feel... 
 
When a wedding comes up, or any party, why can't we ever go alone? Why is being a "party of one" seen as a bad thing??

 Like kddani said, this is different because it's a cruise and because I WANT to take this particular guy.  I wouldn't just ask some random dude to go to this with me. Trust me, I have no problem doing things on my own including going to weddings. I just think I would have so much fun with this guy and he would have fun too, but I'm worried it might freak him out to invite him...that was actually my question, not whether or not I should take a date.
