Is New Year's Eve significant? (8)

Would you insist on spending New Year's Eve with your boyfriend/girlfriend?

How would you react if they wanted to spend if with a group of their friends on a girls/boys night out instead of with you?

I'd be pretty pissed. It definitely is significant, it's a widely recognized holiday.

OP here.

My girlfriend actually told me she would be free on New Year's Eve. Yet when I checked today she told me she would be meeting some friends she hadn't seen in awhile. She has been meeting up with me pretty regularly for the past 2 weeks.

Naturally I was like 'wth..' still, I didn't blow my top but merely pointed out to her that she DID tell me beforehand that she would be free. and said that new year's eve IS a pretty special day.

Then she said she would think about it. Cos she doesn't want her friends to say that she's favouring romance over friendship plus she hasn't seen them for a couple months and New Years Eve happens to be the only day when they're all free. Blah!

It's questionable why she doesn't just bring you along.
Although if you've only been seeing each other for two weeks (not quite clear on what you've said here), I'd say it's nothing to get upset about.

@ OP: Do you know any of the friends she's meeting? They could be useful sources of information.

AND, as long as we're on the subject of New Years...

There's two girls I'm interested in. Both go to my school, both are kind of friends, but I try to keep them at arms length to prevent getting completely friended. One's a year younger, one's a few years older. Older one is currently single and suspects I'm into her (mutual friend informed me), but has stated she's more interested in someone her age (mutual friend has ordered that I try anyway, take it to the end), younger one might be aware of my interest, but apparently has a boyfriend.

Last night another mutual friend (male) and I get text messages from the younger one- suggesting we go on a road trip (to Seattle) for New Year's. It would be the four of us going in my car. Maybe others in another car, but the younger one didn't say anything about anything else.

Is there any hidden meaning here? Are they just being friendly and trust me (other guy is kind of a man whore, but the younger girl knows his game and he has nothing except friendly intentions towards the older one) to not do anything weird? Or is one or both of them attempting to make a move on one of us? It's an unexpected plan, but one that could be highly beneficial.

Op here.

I wouldn't wanna join in her girls night out anyway. If she really chooses to go with her friends I'd just chill out with some of my guy buddies.

In fact a group of guy pals I haven't seen in ages also asked me out for a drink but I thought that since it IS new year's eve after all that I might spend it with my gf. Oh well.

my boyfren who i have been seeing for 2 year decided to go to another country to spend new years with his friend and partner. and im here alone..i was pretty sad but he thought that i didnt think new years is a big deal...

the thing is, we didnt spend new years last year together as well as he wanted to be back home with his family...

this is really hurting me, im trying to tell myself that its not a big deal but i cant...he travels alot for work and we have never spent his birthday together and my birthday as he s always out of the country..
