I think you may be overthinking it. You sound excited and happy - enjoy it!

Just go with it and have fun. You both were excited yesterday. Don’t overthink. It will be awkward a little here and there but you guys will figure it out or it’s not meant to be.

Agree, just to have fun. You might feel anxious and unsure for the first 2 days, but then you guys will fall into a rhythm and you won’t even know where the days disappeared :) have fun!

Definitely overthinking! Be excited and have fun! If you do think it’s too much while you’re there, you can take a work day or a ‘me day’ and just unwind. Part of being together is not always being together but learning to be near or available for one another.

Enjoy!

I’m torn bc i feel like 8 days is too much but at the same time when would we ever have time like this again. Should I move my flight to leave 3 days later or just keep it? We’ve only seen each other twice in Oct and this past weekend but we pretty much lived together at the first half of this year. We planned this out last night and we were both very excited. Would appreciate any advice from you ladies from the guys you’ve dated/are dating!

Both of us will be working 3 full days out of those 8 so it’s not all 24/7 together

I think I am too... thanks girl!!!! :)

I agree. Thank you @P1!

From 22-27 I dated a guy who worked all the time with the hope we would get married. Lots of time spent alone since he was never around on trips and so called vacations. Recently, I broke up with him and just am really feeling like I wasted my twenties. I saw two girls walking down the street yesterday with pink balloons that spelled “23”... what I would give to have not wasted my time with this guy. Has anyone ever gone through this?

He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes.

I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives

However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
