christmas break is like a couple months away i think, thats a couple months that you two may spend fighting like a married couple until you two realize your not legally tied to one another and break up. lets say you pussed out and promised her you would go with her over vacation, then you break up a couple days before you leave for NC. now your fucked. theres no way you can still go to NC without looking like a bitch, and its too late to go on that rad ass ski trip. you see, you must account for the variables, with your girlfriend and your relationship being one of them (especially during that particular time of the month). its safer and more logical to go skiing, plus you won't have to pretend you like meeting her family.
