going to the zoo


Question Posted Wednesday March 21 2007, 6:32 pm

ok me and my boyfriend are both 15 lol and have been wanting to go to the zoo forever. we never got the chance because winter came, so we were planning to go in the spring, which just started. today he asked hey would it be ok to go to the zoo with my mom and david too? davids their family friend, who i dont like because he laughs really loud and picks on me for not wearing a bow. i used to wear one in my hair all the time and it was him that actually made me stop wearing them. but anyways my boyfriend didnt let me answer yet and he went and asked his mom the same question. do you think im being i dont know what word to use...selfish i guess? because i want to go alone instead of with his mom and their friend? would you feel the same way? should i go alone or go with them?

You arent being selfish at ALL!! My boy Daniel has some friends that are the same way (one even kept going on and on to the point where I broke down and cried) Talk to him, he should understand that although you want him to be able to hang out with his friends and all, it would just mean more if it was just the two of you going...tell him how this certain friend makes you feel (Daniel totally respects my feelings about his friend, and still hangs out with him...just on different days and times that he hangs out with me) Just explain that you had kind of been hoping that it would just be the two of you this time, and that it would mean more to you that way (if anything he should be flattered that you want to spend special one on one time with him) but next time tell him that his mom is more than welcome to come along...just so he doesnt think that you are blowing off his family (which I know your not, Ive been through all that too girl) I hope that I helped you! Have an awsome time at the zoo..no matter who ends up coming...

Don't worry, you aren't being selfish. I would feel the same way. But I think that you should go ahead and go with your boyfriend and his mom and David. You could end up having fun and it would show your boyfriend that you're willing to compromise on things.

Go with them. You may actually end up having a great time. Loud, obnoxious people are riots to watch at zoos- they're most likely to be imitating the monkeys, riding the elephants, etc.


Plus, you can always ask for some time alone, just the two of you. His mom and David shouldn't mind. Just say something like, "Hey Dan and I are gonna go see the giraffes now, can we meet by the lions in an hour and go buy something at Burger King for lunch?" Shouldn't be a problem.

If all else fails, grab his hand and run like the wind when they're not looking :D


haha, hope I helped and have fun at the zoo!
