Two concert tickets but no date

Now you are being harsh Brian.

We tried to explain to you that most likely your 'friends' just didn't want to go to the opera regardless of who invited them.

How would you feel if you were unfriended just becouse you didn't join a friend of yours to a dubstep festival?
Yes, friends do things together, but friends also accept that a different person might not want to do some things, and he will be okay with that.

Invite guys, as friends, they are more likely to accept it.

Maybe make it seem less like a 'date' and more of a meet, and don't put too big of an expectation. Ask in a place where people appreciate Opera like an opera forum, don't make it too of big a deal.

I used to not like Opera, it has grown on me. Tenors are pretty good, some sopranos and Contralto

Now you seem like a self-centred brat. HOW DARE people not be interested in the opera?! HOW DARE people have other things going on in their lives?!

Dude, if you want people to hang out with you, you need to find something that both of you would enjoy, not just you. Being bitter about people not being interested in the same things as you is going to see people spending a lot less time around you. And if you don't even know what the person enjoys doing, you probably don't know them well enough for them to want to sit through a performance they probably won't enjoy just so you don't have to be alone.

I recently attended a concert featuring the comedy rock band "The Beards". I wouldn't even dream of asking someone who dislikes comedy, rock or beards to come with me because I know they wouldn't enjoy themselves. And if I didn't know what events they enjoyed attending, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for me to invite them along, because I wouldn't know them very well.
