I need some quick advice here. I have had a reoccuring issue with my boyfriend - nearly every weekend, any arranged date we have planned becomes a free for all for his friends. If we are planning to go to a brewery and share some drinks, he will invite along a few friends for the evening. If we have a dinner date, he will call and tell me about a house party, asking if we could do dinner another night since the party will enable him to hang out with everyone at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a boring girl. I'm outgoing and social, and enjoy going out in large groups, and doing things outside of the more simple 'dinner and a movie' type of thing. However, after a few failed attempts to go out together this week, he and I had plans to get together tonight after he came back from the city with his friends. He just called to tell me that these same friends are going out to a casino/bar type thing and he thinks it would be fun. His last statment "Oh, and you're obviously invited" kinda irritated me. Obviously I was under the impression that we had plans for the evening, and to know that he would be so kind as to invite me along with his friends just makes me wanna throw my hands up. This is where I need advice. I actually do wanna go to this bar/casino place, (dave and buster's for those who know of it). I've been before and have enjoyed myself. However, I also want to make it a point to have him understand how often I sacrifice any chance of a romantic, private date in order for him to not miss out on a single event with his pals. Should I stick to my guns and insist we have one-on-one time, or should I once again be the odd person out in the sea of his guy pals? Thanks!! To answer your question: We're both in our early twenties, we've been officially together for half a year now, and there are no trust issues. I've told him of my feelings regarding this issue before. I definitely do give him space - we only get together about twice a week; the rest of the time he is hanging out with friends. We do see each other alone, but not as much as I have been used to in past relationships. I don't really think he'd be into hanging out with me and all my girl friends, so I try to keep that to a minimum, which is why this baffles me.
