Thanksgiving Dating Tips 27 years ago this week Rebecca and I had been dating for just over 6 months and Thanksgiving was just around the corner. We were having dinner at a nice restaurant in Lexington and Rebecca told me one of the things she liked about dating me was going to nicer restaurants. She said with other guys she had dated every meal she ordered came with french fries. I took that as a compliment and talked about how the Dinner Card I had bought was a good deal and then Rebecca sequed into a new topic. So, do you have any plans for Thanksgiving? I answered reflexively, Yeah. Probably just the usual -- go to my grandmothers in Central City on Thursday and my Dads in Lexington on Friday. How about you? Any big Thanksgiving plans? Rebecca looked down and mumbled, Nothing big. Thats for sure. She stabbed hard at her entree before adding, Just the usual, too, I guess. Whats wrong? Do you not like your dinner? I asked. Its fine. Rebecca answered. You want some of mine? I offered. You sure something isnt wrong with your dinner? Rebecca paused and explained, My friends are having Thanksgiving together with their boyfriends. Oh! I exclaimed. Are we at a point in our relationship where we are supposed to go to Thanksgiving dinners together? I didnt know. I have never had a serious girlfriend for this long. Rebecca said, I dont know. I guess it depends on how serious they are. Well, come on then! Go with me. Or I can go with you. Or whatever or however it is supposed to be done. Was just totally over my head. I didnt know about the Thanksgiving dating rules but now that I do I want to get it right for sure! Rebecca said OK and her dinner seemed to taste a lot better after that. And I learned a valuable dating lesson and my future wife learned to give a absent-minded boyfriend the benefit of the doubt when you really are convinced your absent-minded boyfriend is a good guy but genuinely clueless. I am a very lucky man. And I am inviting Rebecca again this year --for the 27th year in a row-- to spend Thanksgiving with me. And our family. Rebecca Jackson Brown
