b3nx Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I planned a weekend away fr me and my gf. Prob is I have been asked to work one of the nights we will be away. I am new at this job and I need all the credit I can get. How do I explain to her? Also I was going to suggest we could stay one night but that is no fun we wanted a mini holiday. I was thinking I could post-pone it and maybe take her out to dinner or something instead until I can organise another weeked?
lucy9216 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 If she really cares about you she will understand. Yes, just take her out somewhere she would like to go, and plan the trip for another time, but plan it as soon as possible so she doesent feel like you are brushing off the whole mini vacation
SoulSearch_CO Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Explain the work thing, suggest another weekend when you can do it. Then, instead of saying "dinner," tell her you have something REALLY special planned for the one night. Then you can take her to dinner, but also do something really special for her. If she's into theater, go see a show. If she's into dancing, do something related to that. Whatever it is - just make it something that she's really into that maybe she's been wanting to do for awhile. Let this part of the evening be a surprise. Then she can still look forward to the night together (oh, the suspense) and not necessarily feel ripped off. But by ALSO suggesting a weekend to reschedule the mini-holiday, you show that you were serious about doing it, the timing is just bad.
