The Bro's Question:
My girlfriend's sister is graduating college next weekend and she's asked me to go. It's all the way down in North Carolina (I live in Baltimore) and her entire family is going to be there. I don't mind her family, it's just that they are a lot to handle, especially for an entire weekend. On top of this, all my buddies are going to Dewey Beach (sick beach) for the weekend to rage and have a blast. What excuse can I give her to get out of this miserable situation? Or do I have to suck it up and be a good boyfriend?
The Hot Girl's Answer:
I think there are a couple of variables that you have to consider before you make this decision --- how long have you been dating and how much do you like this girl? It seems like if she's inviting you to her sister's graduation and you've met her whole family before then it's been going on for a while and you might be somewhat obligated to go. No matter how long it's been going on, if you'd rather go to the beach with your friends than spend a weekend with your girlfriend (and have her dad pick up the hotel room), it sounds like you don't really like her and you should end it before you end up making her miserable. Okay, that advice doesn't help much, I know.
Actually, I think it's completely acceptable to tell her that you want her to be able to enjoy time with her family without having to entertain you because you don't really know anyone besides her. She'll be disappointed but I think she'll be fine with it as long as you keep in touch over the weekend. You need to assure her that it's in her best interest to be alone with her family and make sure to tell her that there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for you all to be together -- she'll love that. You have to make sure, too, to have your phone with you and make sure to respond when she calls, texts, etc. You want her to think that she's still your number one priority. Keep in mind a little bro-wisdom that I've picked up along the way; blows jobs aren't cheating, obviously, and the added benefit is that you can still text your girlfriend while it's happening. Enjoy your weekend in Dewey...
You may want to find another hot girl to answer these questions…not only did this girl answer the question twice with two completely opposite and conflicting answers but neither would be good advice to follow. A situation like this involves delicate probing of the girlfriend to see how much she really cares about you coming to her sisters graduation or not and how mad she will be if you opt for the trip to Dewey.
Also, what guy on this earth would not rather spend a weeeknd with his bros in dewey beach partying it up sans their significant others than spend a weeekend trapped with their GFs family in an unfamiliar town for a graduation, quite possibly one of the most miserable experiences anyone can sit through, no matter who the graduate is.
I say find out how much hot water you will be in for skipping the graduation first…then weigh that against the awesomeness that will be getting ripped for a weekend in Dewey and make your decision. Make sure if you opt out of the graduation to stay in touch with your girl constantly, as our hot girl pointed out above, and buy the sister a sweet, thoughtful grad present to smooth it all over.
i agree with Brody… please insert a picture of this hot girl so i can immediately forget the dog shit advice she just gave by whacking off till my junk bleeds.
