Tomorrow I'm supposed to go to a local minor league ballgame with my gfs extended family, like 20 or more people most I don't know well. I don't like crowds and social occasions. I went last year, it was uncomfortable. How do I get out of going to this? It's actually my gf daughters fiancee family/ friends. We are old people. Plus the walk to the park hurts my hips. :(

Have you tried telling your gf that large crowds of strangers make you uncomfortable and you have little no interest in attending?

I'm thinking about telling her that tomorrow. Or use some version of it. Although we have gone to games at this park many times, just weekends are packed. The fiancee is a Chad type, nice enough, but I'm bookish and into sci fi, so not much in common. I might complain my hips hurt too much. :/

Arrive a little (not too much) late an leave a little (not too much) early, just to cut down on time there.
Sit with your GF and others you feel comfortable with. Nobody expects you to mingle with everyone.
Eat, drink, watch the game. Do normal things that don't involve too much interaction
