    Last week, I took my sister (24F) out to a Michelin star restaurant which was around 50 miles from where we lived. It was her birthday, and I usually get her a gift every birthday, and for this birthday, I decided to take her out to the restaurant. The food was expectedly great, it was probably the best I've ever had in my life. and we both had a great time. I took lots of pictures, and I was really happy with how the whole evening turned out.

    probably the best I've ever had in my life. and we both had a great time. I took lots of pictures, and I was really happy with how the whole evening turned out. When my girlfriend and I hung out the next day, we talked about the restaurant, and she wanted to see pictures. She then asked when I would take her out to the restaurant, and I told her we haven't dated long enough. She seemed a bit sad after that, and changed the topic, and

    I felt a bit guilty. Was I the AH? I love my girlfriend, but taking someone to a Michelin Star restaurant would mean they are really special to me, and that we will always have a bond forever, and I don't think I am there yet with my girlfriend.

    kenakuhi · 14 hr. ago Well you said it yourself - you'd only take someone who's special to you and you made it clear that your girlfriend isn't.

    hobbitfeet 15 hr. ago 1. Why do Michelin Star restaurants mean "forever bond" to you as opposed to just one really nice evening? That's an odd enough take on the situation that you're going to have to explain that opinion in way, way more depth for something else to understand. It sounds as if you equate Michelin Star restaurants with marriage? How thoroughly did you explain this your girlfriend?

    2. There's not really a good way to take "You're not important enough to me" from someone who purports to love you, and it's a massive red flag. Ask yourself why you are placing limits on what you can enjoy with someone you love. Is it possible that you don't really love her?

    False Ad4246 · 16 hr. ago You sound like a future HOA president telling me my mailbox is the incorrect shade of black. You've been with your girlfriend a year and that's not long enough to take her to a nice restaurant? Hope she actually finds somebody whose head isn't shoved quite so far up his own GI tract. And if any of that was unclear, yeah, you're the major for rubbing it in her face and basically saying look what a great time I had with my sister that you will never get to experience!

    External_Trifle3702 · 16 hr. ago Yes, you told her she just doesn't mean enough to you. Either go apologize and find an EVEN NICER place to take her or let her walk. I knew my wife was a keeper by month three. Do it now!

    • flyingfred1027 · 14 hr. ago lol. You love her, but she's not special to you? You might want to re-evaluate your definition of love.

    saintursuala · 16 hr. ago • Yes, YTA. What even is long enough? We don't have Michelin star restaurants where I live but on our second date my husband took me to one that will likely get a star when they come. second date! you're a year in and nickel and diming your gf? You s k.
