writes:Earlier this week, a friend of mine at university suggested that all the guys go on a trip to Preston, a city in the North west of England. According to him, there are 4 women to every 1 man. I'm not sure I believe that, but that doesn't bother me.What does bother me is that my ex girlfriend and first love now attends university there. And, this may sound silly, but the very slimmest of slim chances of bumping into her while I'm there is enough to put me of EVER going there. I'm somebody who can't so much as look at her myspace page without immediately starting to feel upset. I proved that just last week when I was gripped by curiosity and took a peek at her profile. All I had to read were the words "In a relationship" and I had to close the page without delay.Am I worrying too much about this? What are the chances of running into her? If this plan comes together and Preston is the destination, should I go with them, or miss out on what could potentially be a very fun trip?

If she's the type that goes out to the student nights (and on Monday and Wednesday it's the big student nights out in town) then you may bump into her as the venues are not that big.
If you are heading up there for the weekend then you will not meet any students as Saturday night is Binge and Fight night in Preston.
Seriously, head to Liverpool instead. The girls are hotter and the night life is amazing. Pop past De Jangos Riff and wave to me!
Good Luck!! xx

If you want a really good fun weekend try going to Prague! Far more cultural than Preston!

 Well I don't know if you have ever been to Preston (and apologies to anyone living in Preston - I'm sure there are some great things about it) - it is not exactly a "fun" destination! There is nothing going for Preston - I know a few people who are from there and they have all moved to Manchester! You wouldnt be missing out on much believe me if you didnt go on that trip - apart from a few chavs and tacky nightclubs!You probably are worrying too much about seeing her although in my experience you always run into your ex's at the time you really dont want to see them! And even if you dont see her, you will spend the entire night looking around trying to spot her and running for cover everytime you see a girl that looks like her.There will be more trips with you friends, to better cities. Give this one a miss - or get your friends to re-think the destination!
