Have you ever heard the expression little boys often tell one or the other parent: "you aren't the boss of me!" Let's fast forward a few years: Who is the boss of you, now?

If you do not want to go, you will have to say so. If this is so difficult that you cannot, then analyze why not.

* Are you all about pleasing others at your expense?
* Would you go if you (also) had a date?
(If so, ask the others if you can.)
* Other?

At some point you are going to have to step up and take charge whether it is this situation or something else; otherwise, you will forever be a "doormat".
