Next week I turn 21. No big deal really, I was legal at 19 were I live.
A while ago me and my boyfriend agreed for a whole bunch of reasons to not focus on our birthdays too much this year, just do something nice for valintines day. Which was totally cool with me. But now my girlfriends want to take me out for my birthday.
The thing is everybody, even myself, wants this to be a girls night thing. I don't even think my boyfriend would want to come to the place they have in mind, but I'm not sure how to tell him that I want to spend my birthday with just my close group of girls. What should I do?

whabit answered Wednesday January 25 2006, 5:38 am: :o) WOW!! happy birthday!! Im turning 21 this year aswell... Just tell him that you want a girls night out, maybe see him an hour before you go out with the girls, and then promise him a date the next day? Im sure he will understand, suggest a boys night out for him :o) [ whabit's advice column | Ask whabit A Question ]

I don't think he will be mad. Just tell him that your friends want to take you out somewhere, and if he would be fine with that. I'm sure it's no big deal though. Happy early birthday! :) [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

I'm sure if you told him you were thinking of having a girls night out he would understand! As long as you promise to have a night with him soon. And if he kind of would like to see the birthday girl then offer to do something with him earlier and do something with your friends in the evening.
