I thought it would my boyfriend of about a year inviting me to his house on thanksgiving was wonderful and meant that he was taking our relationship seriously and thought I was special enough to have me with him and his family for the holiday and he was seeing me already as family. UNTIL he said that he did not want to come pick me up and that I should take the metro to his house because he wants to save gas money?!?!?!? Weird
Should I still go? Does he not care about me anymore? Why would he want me to do something like that on a holiday?

I don't know his or your financial situation, but I would like to know how come it's OK for you to spend money to get there and not him? and how far is it? I would ask myself this question: How many times has he NOT gone out of his way for you; then decide if you want to go to the trouble of taking the metro.
-good luck

Hi, I must agree that it's wierd of him to ask u to do such a thing, but it's the holiday and there's a lot of traffic u'll be better off taking the metro as well as u'll probably earn points with his mother and family members for being so down to earth. If he didn't care about u he wouldn't even dare think of asking u to come...So go ahead and make his day! I wish u all the best

You didn't ask to be invited, he invited you on his own. If he wants you there bad enough, he needs to figure out a way for you to get there. At his own expense. Do not take the Metro, tell him that is an insult to you for him to even suggest a thing like that to an invited guest.

I would not go, he is inviting you over the least he could do is pick you up!!!!!!!!!!!! If it means that much to you and you feel like he doesn't care, why don't you try him out and suggest, "I'll give you gas money"! If he still doesn't want to come and pick you up then forget about him and move on, cause it's not worth it!!!!!!!!

Yes he still cares. Look at the economy. He probably is trying to save money. Give him a chance. If he did not care he would have just told you not to come.

Ask him just this "Why would you want me to do something like that on a holiday?" If he says to save money, then say "Pick me up and I will give you $5.00 for gas".

he may be trying to see how far you're willing to go for the relationship, or the promise of one, so don't do it. that's an awkward situation to be in to begin with, and he should make it as comfortable for you, providing the accommodations and everything else that needs to happen. plus it doesn't say much about he feels about his own parents that he would put them in that situation either; i mean my mother would find that to be a bit weird herself if someone showed up after i was already there, or whatever.

I believe he's just trying to test you for something best known to him (endurance, humility, committment...etc) My advice to you is to go there but let him know that you're NOT pleased with his excuse. I think he should be a gentleman to apologize to you and reimburse you. But his apology if far more important in this matter. Cheers!

Hell No if he cared about you he would gladly come and get you, From what you said why are you still with him? He must be a penny pincher if not you got real problems coming!!!!!!!!
