My gf and I are coming up to the 6 month mark, shes a virgin and wants to loose her v card on a beach, problem is she wants to rent a hotel room (the beach is popular so the hotel room prices are a premium and being a poor university student I simply dont have the funds.) Its a 6 month mark, I think shes asking a little too much. Am I in the wrong?
It is normal for her to have unrealistic expectations regarding romance, she is a girl.
Do you live to please girls? You are a man, you are bound by higher priorities.
To take an extreme example, if your gf wanted you to rob a bank to buy her a diamond ring, would you do it? Of course not, you are a man, you are bound by the dictates of morality.
To take a more common example, if you promised your best friend you would be there for his birthday party, and then your gf comes in at the last second and wants you to take her out, would you side with your gf? Of course not, you are a man, you are bound by the higher laws of loyalty and integrity, you gave your friend your word.
In this situation, you should not rent a hotel room on the beach since you would be fiscally irresponsible - you are bound by the higher laws of frugality and responsibility. You know you don't have the funds to do it, you know you should not borrow funds on a discretionary item such as this. The responsible side of you is telling you not to do it.
So why are you posting on this thread? Clearly it is fear. Fear of letting your gf down. Fear that, she might even leave you because of this.
I am going to tell you something that you need to hear. This is actually a great opportunity to see what your gf is all about. Celebrate your 6-month anniversary in a way that you deem is proper, without taking on lavish expenditures. See what her reaction is.
If she is cool with it, great.
If she resents you for not splurging even after you explain your financial situation to her, then her true colors have come out. It is quite clear what is in her heart - pure selfishness, not love.
The question is: do you have the balls to find out what she is really like? Most guys dare not find out, because it would hurt their ego too much to discover the relationship wasn't as strong as they thought.
You know what you should do, the question is, do you have the balls to do it?
