My girlfriend went to Canada with some her of her friends. I've been a worried wreck all night because I couldn't go due to a lack of Enhanced License. I know I can trust her but there's a lot of fucking creepers out there. All of whom I don't trust. I know I haven't been around a lot lately, but can someone help put me at ease? lol.
It's normal to feel the way you do, because you can't be there to actually see what goes on. I'm sure, though, your girlfriend can tell a creeper no, and that she's safe in a group of friends. Also, there are a lot of police patrols and security officers around there to protect people, so that definitely helps as well.
I kinda went through the same thing when I was younger because my boyfriend at the time was two years older than me, so I couldn't go drink even if I wanted to. I would sit home and kinda worry about what was going on without me there and it just kinda slowly ate at me. I realized it was dumb, though, and decided that if I trust him like I say I do, then it's fine. It was fine to worry about his safety, but I wasn't going to worry about another girl. If she comes home and tells you a guy was hitting on her, take it as a compliment that some guy was into her, and then you can brag to yourself that she's all yours and that guy didn't get anywhere with her.

It's obviously different if you don't trust her, because then you'll never really feel comfortable; but since you said you trust her, tell her to text you when she makes it home safe and do some stuff to take your mind off it. Also, just go get your enhanced license or your passport. You get a piece of paper when you walk out of the DMV that you can use temporarily before it comes in the mail for some instant gratification, you just show it along with your current ID. The bars in Canada are really fun (and expensive!) and it's like a rite of passage for kids who live near the border.

I know you wanted this assurance last night, but I thought it couldn't hurt to post it anyway for future reference.
