No shoes, no flying partner, no service

Hello, friends!

I missed my Monday update, but I was kind of busy having a bit of a discussion with my girlfriend. So I'd like to know what you guys think.

I mentioned before that it might be possible for her to visit within the next 6 months or so. I would be paying for her flight tickets and her stay here (food, transportation, etc). There's a small issue, though: she's scared of airports. Apparently they are big and confusing and she won't fly unless she finds somebody to come with her (airports are automatically safer if somebody is with her). She has mentioned before that she didn't like airports, but I thought that the happiness of visiting me would be greater than her fear; that doesn't seem to be the case. The bad thing is that nobody appears to be interested in spending money on visiting a south American country with her...

Should I be more understanding or does it make sense that I'm disappointed? I love her and I want to see her soon and it makes me a bit mad that the opportunity to see each other is missed over this.

Please, leave comments telling me what you think about this. I really want to know what your thoughts are. Thank you!

  4. As anon said, fly to her. . OR if you are willing to spend a ton of money or about 4 bricks of gold, fly to her, fly back with her, fly her back then fly home.

  7. I agree with This Guy. It'll cost you a lot, but it'll be worth it.

  8. I think it's too much of a hassle having a long distance relationship. Wait till you grow up, make bank and plan your career before you spend money on such frivilous matter. Just my 0.02 cents.

  9. Tell her to face her fears, once shes conquered them, they'll be no problems with similar situations in the future.

  10. I think she's trying to bring someone along so you have to pay for them, and she isnt alone if it fucks over, I'm sorry to say. Tell her.

    If she loved you as much as you clearly love her, you would have thought she'd come over form you, I mean, you're offering to pay for EVERYTHING!

  12. I guess she could have someone take her to the airport and take her through all the preliminary checkpoints and then leave her at the 'passengers only' area. Then you make sure to meet her at the airport so that when she arrives at her destination you are there. Airports *seem* big and scary, but really they're not too hard to navigate (I mean they have to make it so that even really stupid people can get to wherever they need to be without ever having been there before...my SO told me that and it helped), and if you get lost in those big department store areas you can just ask a staff member for assistance.

    I flew alone from Sydney Australia to Seattle USA (one stop over in LA, that was a little intimidating but obviously I was just fine and everything went smoothly) having never been on an aeroplane in my life. It was admittedly a bit scary but I think you just need to reassure your girlfriend that everything will be fine and she has nothing to worry about.
