Never been abroad or on a plane at age 35!

[SalemShadow]

There was a woman on dinner date yest. She is 35, never been abroad or on on an aeroplane. She was telling her date he will have to take her on a holiday. Aibu to be completely shocked? I couldn't believe it. Seems a sheltered existence

She isn't missing much in my eyes. I'm a home bird, I've been abroad a few times but hate flying, on a ship I'm ok but I honestly don't think I will ever fly again.

I have no way of knowing if it's true or not.

Why would we - unbeknownst to each other - lie about it?

I agree that it odd. Especially for someone of that age, who expressed a clear interest in going abroad.

My mum did not go abroad until her 50s (about 15 years ago) but she is of a different generation.

I guess there are a lot of factors that feed into it. Perhaps she is very indecisive or struggles with long journeys.

FionasWineShow it's very possible to joke about something and exaggerating without lying. I have no way of knowing how much they exaggerate and I don't care enough to research the subject.
