Agreed.

I intend to move out soon, and when I do move into my next place it will be fully furnished (of course, I expect the place to be a bit nicer).

Admittedly, I am somewhat ashamed of how I am living. I know what I'm doing, but I make decent money yet I live like a broke college student. Helps me out in the long run but I still sometimes feel a little embarrassed by it. Also, this girl is attractive and makes for decent company although there are some characteristics I can live without. I probably do need to either find another woman, decide to remain single, or shut up and ride the wave. Not sure exactly what to do about that at this point, but I know I'm still very apprehensive about her coming here.
She wants you to drive a total of nearly 5 hours so that she can see your place? Why? and why does she not have a car? Tell her the drive is simply too far for you to come pick her up, go back to Baltimore, then back to Lorton, etc. It's a ridiculous request.

where i live, we have these miraculous devices called "buses" and "trains".

i gather people use them when they want to travel over distance without having to drive.

let me replay some of the phrases I saw in your post about this girl. she -

is spoiled,

a bit pretentious

might start whining

Why are you pursuing a relationship with this person? The words in your post give me a good idea you are not comfortable or enamoured with this girl -do BOTH of you a favor and move on

I wasn't either but neither was I living at home and being totally supported by my family - I was well emancipated by that age!

1 hr 10 mins one way.
1 hr 10 mins back.

5 hr round trip ?
hhmmmm. you use the same watch as my girlfriend, when she says "5 minutes"

OP, if you don't like her, then stop making excuses and wasting her time, hoping a better offer comes along.

or, try it, and see where this goes. you never know.
