Are you kidding me

I feel like he should have given you a heads up about the family. I certainly hate being surprised with social obligations.
@Anna I was so looking forward to a date night with just him and I. Mind you we are already late. His family left for the 6pm reservations and he’s still getting ready cause he just got home from work. So we are walking in and they’ll be in the middle of their meal. How embarrassing.
He certainly owes you for sure! Kinda weird that he wants to go even though he can't be there on time. I'm sorry you aren't getting the nice evening you were hoping for.
Sometimes guys don’t really get the hints… it’s better to just be straight up and tell him directly . The way Anna is saying
I’d just tell him how you feel disappointed and wanted a night alone. Also you’re uncomfortable going late. Maybe you can just hang the two of you since you can’t make it
Wait, why didn’t he just tell you about his family coming for dinner together??? That’s totally unacceptable and more of a serious issue to me…
Ugh that’s frustrating. Definitely mention it and don’t hint at why you’re frustrated. I would do it in private so it’s not super embarrassing for him unless it keeps happening then tell him in front of his momma. My dude doesn’t get hints so when I want something I have to spell it out. “I want to go on a date night with just the two of us. Dinner and a movie.”
If you’re already late tell the family you aren’t coming and go somewhere else.
What a bummer!!! I know it’s not what you had in mind, but don’t pass up the chance to connect with each other. He did plan a night out for you, so I have no doubt he meant well, so just make the best of it…. Have fun and remind him, he still owes you a proper date :)
Why have you hinting instead of directly telling him that you want a one-on-one date night?
My partner and I have been together for 12 years and he misses a lot of social cues! He didn't even know I was into him when we started hanging out and I felt that I was making it super obvious. Just tell him you want the date. Some people don't catch on as easily as others.
I want to clarify that me “hinting” was sending him a picture of us when we were on a past date and saying “we need a date night asap” .. I guess I didn’t say I want a date night lol yes @Molly he definitely meant well but it just dropped my whole mood. He’s been working a lot lately and I have barely seen him. I’ve told him and even cried that I just miss him.
And just for an update - we got there right on time. I guess the reservation was behind because they had just ordered drinks when we got in. It was a nice dinner but just not what I wanted 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe he wasn’t even considering tonight to be the date night… we all know not everyone thinks alike so maybe he recognized you want a date night but didn’t realized telling you about “reservations” would make you think date night. Think of it like in the movies when a girl gets a small jewelry box. She thinks it’s a ring and he never thought she would think that. A simple misunderstanding. My dude gave me a small jewelry box with earrings before we got engaged. I told him not to buy me anymore earrings until I get the finger ring because that small of a box makes my heart skip a beat. I told him what I thought it was and he was completely unaware that was possible.

@Camille I agree, and maybe he was not serious but when he told me about the reservations I said “really!!??!” And he said “ yeah you got your date” 🙄
Oh… I would be petty next time he wants something lol
"My babysitter just called. I have to go. It was nice to meet you, Uncle Mortimer." Go have a night to yourself!
Guys don’t pick up on hints. I’d have my feelings hurt too. Sorry you were let down. 💔
I would go. Act normal. And then after, say “now I want a date night just US”
@Bonny not Mortimer 🤣🤣🤣 you know what’s hysterical his uncles name is Marty !! lmfaoooooo
Yeah it's definitely not a date night when he invites his mother 🤣 I'd be livid I won't lie. But then, I HATE being late so I'd be going home already at this point and telling him exactly why!
@Rebecca his mother loves me thank god, but it just wasn’t what I wanted. I haven’t said anything yet, I don’t want to break his heart 🥹
It really depends on how he mentioned the dinner. Sometimes, guys can be a bit clueless. Communication is so important! If you feel like there haven’t been enough date nights or something is missing, let him know and give him a reminder, because they often forget or don’t prioritize things the same way we do. Hope that makes sense!
"Hey I had a good time with your family, let's do something together next weekend - just you and me!" If that doesn't work, then... make another post and we'll try to help lol
And no don’t say omg maybe he’s going to propose. We are already engaged 🤣
