Master Dating Thread

[Mrs. Gooch]

So my girlfriends folks are in town for a big event she is hosting next week.  I am picking them up from the airport, driving them to the VIP party, taking them to the event, then taking them and my parents out the next night.  GF tells me not to make plans for v-day a few weeks ago bc she wants to see what her parents want to do.

I ask last night, "Hey, I really need to put in reservations if we're doing anything, because everywhere will be packed."  and she says, "I never get to see my parents, so I booked us 3 reservations on Valentines day, sorry." 

How pissed off should I be, or not pissed off?

 I already have made plans to get real pak'd at the 'Cats game with single bros and I am not out $$ for an expensive dinner, so maybe not mad?

V Day is just a made up holiday. You shouldn't limit your romance or appreciation of your gf to one day. You should show her you care through out the year rather than worry about having to be together on some arbitrary date.

Are they Christian?  If so, I wouldn't blame them for trying to avoid all wild cats on St. Valentine's day.

you should do something special for her before her parents get here. Whoops, maybe too late!

It is kind of weird that she excluded you from the VDay reservation, though.

[puniraptor]

entp's, lets envision some possibilities for this admittedly somewhat strange behaviour:

-she is discussing with her parents how best to break up with him
-her parents hate him and she is afraid to tell him
-her parents dont even know about him!
-she doesnt have parents and is afraid to tell him
-she is asking her parents permission to force him to put a ring on it

-she hasn't told her parents  he is whatever race he is because they would not approve
-her parents are getting a divorce and they have to talk it out

[Spracne]

It would be irresponsible of me to speculate, especially since all of the scenarios I can envision are very, very bad.

[Jabeez]

I have already gotten her a nice present. She hasn't gotten me anything but offered to pay for the new windshield for my car, I just got.  But yes, reservation for 3, whomever asked. 

In case you were wondering she is an ESFJ, "Holidays, birthdays and other annual celebrations are remembered and observed often religiously by this type" 

I just thought it was weird she didn't at least say something before doing it.  I don't care that she did it, I do care that she avoided telling me and kind of went behind my back and made reservations excluding me. weird.  She does feel really bad and this is the biggest month of her career, so I guess I'll just forego being angry and just get drunk with the bros while watching the 'Cats.

So yeah, I just needed to confirm it was kind of weird, but I am getting a good deal out of not having to do something over the top romantic. We are going to see book of Mormon this month, super Rom'y

did you bother to ask to be included, or did you immediately make drunken plans with dudes? I can't imagine many restaurants would have a problem changing a reservation from 3 to 4.

but yeah a musical by the south park dudes a couple weeks later should be fine.

[puniraptor]

-her parents made the reservation intentionally to exclude him and she is covering for them

when i read Jabeez's post i knew michigancat's was going to be really sarcastic and mean about the BoM part 

[Jabeez]

-her parents made the reservation intentionally to exclude him and she is covering for them

This is probably the #1 possibility.

[Spracne]

Just go the TBT route and get her a nice card.

[Jabeez]

Ralph Wiggum is a treasure

[michigancat]

so did you ask to get added to the reservation? do you dislike her parents like they dislike you?

[Jabeez]

They don't dislike me, i was kidding.

I am going now, thanks for the advice.  She misunderstood the situation last night, and didnt figure it out until today. (She assumed i was going to the game no matter what bc i asked her awhile ago about vday in Manhattan. Parents coming happened two weeks ago and i asked if theyd like to go too)
So we figured that out and alls good in the hood.  Still a weird thought process, but im over it.

[The Big Train]

i would suggest doing more than this, but this would be a very nice gesture.

At this point it's nearly impossible to find a girl who isn't either a super skank or a super prude. I mean, my god

Wrong

I'm 27. I don't want to be married until i'm atleast 33. There probably won't be much left by then. 

I hope you like other people's kids.

 

Just sayin'. The options will be start getting pretty limited once you hit your 30's.

Why? 30+ men are landing mid 20's ladies all the time.

thoughts on the opposite? 

Experienced ladies 

Nope, denied. It's fun at first, but they hussle for kids fast. I was 26 last summer dating a nice lil filly who was 30. Pretty much lived with her. Unfortunately I started to notice her birth control wasn't being taken, and she was demanding marriage after 10 months. They're like Tom Brady heaving hail marys in the super bowl. They'll do anything to close out a game.

Impressive young, fanning.

Show me one incorrect usage of a comma in that paragraph.

[meow meow]

impressive young, spracne

[420seriouscat69]

Grammar. eff ya, you guys! 

[Spracne]

Ahhh, true, true true.  Great usage of commas 3 years ago, though.

I figured everything out. You all suck.
