Home Turf

When you start dating a woman that lives in a different city, it kind of becomes a turf war. So far, I have spent all of my time on her turf and everything has been on familiar ground for her. Her restaurants, her bars, her friends, her old boyfriends (like I really want to hear about them one more time), her apartment, and everything else. She has not even crossed the state line. I don't mind it so much but it would be nice to stay on my home turf one time just to see how she would handle it. In any relationship like this, I think it is important to assimilate into each other's "culture". I like to think I have a very unique culture filled with a variety of interests and hobbies and I also like to think that I can hold up my end of the conversation on just about any topic. Some people do not like to leave their comfort zone.
