Would you go on vacation to a dreamy destination... with someone you don't like?
A guy asked me out on a vacation (actually, a weekend getaway) to a beautiful island. A friend of his had just bought a house there and was celebrating his birthday (free accommodation, free food and drinks), and the white sand beach was just a stroll away. I am so into beaches and I love parties! I'm excited by barbecues and out-of-town trips so I was naturally tempted. Plus, I'd heard about how gorgeous the place was. But I didn't want to encourage him. He'd already asked me on a date twice and his friends were bringing their girlfriends, so it looked like a "couples" thing. I said no.
Days later, I was looking up the beach for research and damn! it looked good. I thought maybe I should've gone for the experience...
So I wonder, would any of you have jumped at a chance like this, even if you weren't into the person inviting you? I feel like I'd be obligated to act like we're dating or is it just me?
No, I would not have led him on like that for a vacation. That would be cruel to him and it would have been uncomfortable for both of you. You did the right thing turning him down.
i think it sounds like a 90 minute time share pitch given by friendly courteous salemen. the desire to get that free vacation runs strong and make us suffer alot for it.

Sounds like that would have been a big mistake for both of you!
No. Robyn Gardner, missing women in Aruba did the same.
Wow! Just read about it... That was scary I never thought of that angle. Well, I do know the guy and he doesn't look the type BUT... you never know ryt!?

So glad I made the right decision
Yes you made the right decision. The only way it would have been OK was if you had talked with him ahead of time and made it crystal clear that the only reason you are going is for the beach/party. Tell him seperate bedrooms is the only way.
