We need more time together!

LegacyUser

hey there...

Me and my GF have been going out for ages now, have had a great relationship for at least two years. We're both 18 and live at homw with our parents. During the summer we a leaving cert holiday together, but with friends - first holiday without the parents for us both!

However, since then, we're both in college full time as well as part time jobs and we hardly ever get to spend some time together -just the two of us. She got a bit upset the other day over it insisting that I actually don't want to spend time with her, coz i spend more time with my friends and she's only second best. This is not the case, i practically worship this girl and if i had've known how she felt, I would have made sure that things would be different. But we both have little spare time right now
I guess what I really want to do is show her that she is special and spend some proper quality time together of the xmas hols.

I was thinking about surprising her with a weekend away somewhere(abroad) in January, but i'm a bit hesitant in case she can't/won't/not allowed go.

Any help appreciated.

I would suggest somewhere nice down the country.

Not as expensive, not as far a distance so parents are less likely to complain, and i'm sure you can speak to her about getting the weekend off work. maybe say there's something else on you'd like to go with her to, a gig, family event, anything really, i'm sure you can come up with a good excuse and then you can whisk her away

i'm sure she'll love it! what girl wouldn't like to be surprised by something like that!

Of course she'd love a weekend away!!Plus I'm sure she'd be allowed - I mean she's over 18 and as long as her parents know you they shouldn't have any problems as long as you give details about where you're going and staying and make sure she calls them

Maybe you could tell her you're planning on taking her away - just don't say where - that can be the surprise!Also you'll see her reaction and she'll be able to book time off work in advance.

Do you go to the same college?If so maybe you could agree to meet up for lunch everyday and maybe arrange for a date once a week - even if its only the cinema or watching a dvd before/after ye have to work.

Well I'd book something within Ireland just to be on the safe side, if she cant go you can just bring one of your mates instead no need to change/book new plane tickets or anything
