How to Surprise Your Girlfriend with a Vacation

  Whether you've been dating for 3 months or 3 years, there’s nothing more swoon-worthy than surprising your girlfriend with a getaway. A vacation says: "I know you. I love you. Let’s run away for a little while." But planning the perfect surprise trip without her finding out? That takes some skill—and a whole lot of gay magic. Don’t worry babe, I got you. Here’s your step-by-step guide to surprising your girl with a vacation she’ll never forget:  Step 1: Know Her Vibe Before booking anything, ask yourself: Is she more cozy cabin in the mountains or sunset cocktails on the beach ?

In late 2023, Billie did a cover story for Variety . When asked about her relationship with women, she said: "I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m really attracted to them." Cue the headlines. Cue the internet spiraling. At a later event, someone asked her if she meant to “come out.” Her response? "Wasn’t it obvious?" "I just didn’t believe people didn’t know." 🖤 Why This Matters (Even If It Was Casual) For Billie, it wasn’t som...
