Ok cool so if I say all those things about distance,travel involved,work,etc it wouldn't piss him off or anything? I just wanted to make sure he doesn't hate me for not really being gung ho about it all.

So your boy is in town and you, your wife and her single friend have dinner. If your words weren't, "yada...yada.....and she's single", then u already suck as a friend. Despite you only being concerned about being stuck alone with 2 yapping women, your boy closed the deal without any help. Sounds like you need to turn down his offer just to save him from having a shite best man

If you decline Being best man it will fundamentally change your relationship. Unless you can convince him that it was his idea to ask someone else. And that takes skills and the ability to read people that this thread tells me you don't have.
I seriously doubt he just thinks he owes you. You might be his only friend that isn't married or dating one of her friends.
Good luck.

I am a terrible person so you probably shouldnt take my advice... but ill offer it anyway.
I turned down a good friend of mines invite to be a groomsman in his wedding which was in Florida because I didnt want to travel all the way there and with me planning my own wedding (which happened the month before his) money was just too tight.
When he original asked me I ask him when the wedding was and said I would check my work schedule. (I work in Oil and Gas in the refinery) I told him we would be in the middle of a shutdown, and I would not want him to depend on me, I would try to make the wedding, but to see if he could find someone else to replace me as a groomsman because I would hate to find out last minute I had to work and things get thrown off.
It worked.
