andie1969 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 The guy who I've been seeing for a few months just asked me to go to Niagara Falls with him this weekend (about a 4 hour drive). I'm excited, but at the same time cautious since we will be together non-stop for 3 days. I guess if neither one of us is ready to throw the other one over the falls by the end of it, it's a good sign! Anyone care to share any experiences in traveling in a fairly new relationship?
d0nnivain Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 It's always a challenge. Have you ever spent a whole weekend together at home before? If that went OK this will too. Since it's the 1st trip everyone should be on their best behavior. Ask about his travel style before you go. Does he want to see everything be up at the crack of dawn the 1st on line or is he more laid back? You need to know what you are getting into. Also discuss finances. Are you splitting things? Is he treating?
Author andie1969 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Good points! We have spent an overnight and a whole day together several times, but that's the longest at one time. He is using hotel points to book the room, and he'll drive, but I'm sure we'll split the cost of food and attractions. I will also pack a cooler of snacks and drinks.
BluEyeL Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 You're overthinking it. It's been several months, it's time to find out if you two travel well. I've had plenty of experiences like that and for me it went well every time.
Mrin Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 You might as well. About three month into a relationship I went to Hong Kong with a lady (we are from the U.S.) for about a week. I broke up with her when we got back. The trip really highlighted just how incompatible we were. In the next relationship I went to DC for about five days with a woman I had only dated for 5 weeks. The trip was amazing and we are coming up on our one year anniversary in a couple of weeks. So you never know. But the thing is - a multi day trip together is a great way to hit the fast forward button and see how compatible you two are. I'd do it! 4
mitchell Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Are you two having sex? You may want to discuss the sleeping arrangements before you embark on this trip. He may have certain motives in mind.

lovexocoach Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 You'll discover how compatible you are with him. It's a good test. Good luck and be careful.
preraph Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 What if he's taking you there to propose? If you feel it's a little too soon to go at all, you'll really freak out if he's proposing or something like that. Better make sure you know if he's up to anything!!
avintagegirl Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Get some poo pourri. I take it with me on all trips and the last one I took with a fellow it helped ease that particular tension with staying with each other. 1

I KNOW that's not going to happen! We've both been married twice before and have made it very clear we have no intention of every getting married again. We are both open to a long-term, committed relationship and even living together at some point, but without involving the government.
