    Just wondering is it necessary to bring ur girlfriend for dinner or do something else romantic on new years day. I live in a different town to my gf and find it hard to travel up and down but today she's at me for not going to see her and bring her to dinner? wtf?

    I think there is a general obligation to be together on major occassions, but no specific obligation to buy your girlfriend dinner on New Year's day.

    She might just want to escape after a week with her family.

    PS Tell her about the tradition about what women have to do for men on New Year's Day. ;)

    There is a tradition of Little Christmas / Women's Christmas on 6th January, where its a girl's night out and men and children are meant to fend for themselves at home.

    I doubt it tbh. I broke up with the GF last night... strange. New Year, new beginnings I guess

    flippin eck' thats one way to start the new year with a clean slate.

    OP unless you made some prior arrangements or had discussed going out I don't think you've any obligation to bring her to dinner. She porbably justs wants to spend time with you given the day thats in it, start the year as you mean to go on and all that.

    Eh no, definately not...

    Sounds to me like she just wants to spend time with you, but as for taking her out because its new years day etc..well no that doesnt have to happen..:rolleyes:

    just talk to her, and arrange when can next meet up and spend some time together and im sure she will be happy with that.;)

    a) she might want some TLC / spoiling

    b) she might want quiet time to talk

    In a relationship there are no obligations.

    There are things you want to do together.

    pfft some women suck. if she wanted to see you so much she could have gotten off her own @rse and gone to see you! Eh, talk to her, she probably just wants to hang out. buy her flowers. we like that. :)

    Jaysus :eek:

    Seen loads of rows with couples last night. Is it serious and how long were you with her?

    Drinking and breakups dont really add up, they should all be done sober
