ballerinababe Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 My friend P and I decided to plan a short trip together. We're coming from different cities. I said I'd like it to be short and sweet and would prefer spending just 2 nights there. I also stressed that I want my OWN bed and we should get a room with TWO BEDS. He knew that very well. Anyway, he said he was going to look into tickets and let me know what he finds. Well, suddenly I got an email from him announcing that he got plane tickets for 3 nights (not 2) and the hotel only has one bed, and otherwise is booked up! Also the reservations are all non-refundable (from priceline)! I am totally enraged! This guy often makes sexual innuendos to me and he knows I don't like it. Obviously this is just one big trap! He is leaving the country forever soon and so I agreed to meet up with him one last time before he goes back. Now I'm totally regretting it. What shall I do? I could go ahead and book my own place but 1) I can't afford that, and 2) if I splurge anyway, he will be annoyed and the trip will be further complicated with us both staying in different places. I am just SO MAD he put me in this position!!!!!!! Link to comment
FYI Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Let's be real here: A guy who makes "sexual innuendos" at you and you've given him the total booking power of putting this vacation package together. How could you NOT see this coming? Link to comment
Hennie Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't think you should have agreed to go with him in the first place, since you don't like the advances he makes towards you. Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You can pay him for your half but not go..and tell him that you made your wishes perfectly clear and he violated them. I think this friendship is over. Link to comment
buddha55 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I agree with crazyaboutdogs. if you want out, you have to pay your half. but, like the others, WHY would you agree to go in the first place? someone makes sexual advances (you don't like) and you agree to go on one last trip before he leaves?? for what?

ballerinababe Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I didn't give him the total booking power. He just went ahead and did it unbeknownst to me. Yes, I admit that going on the trip with him despite his previous advances wasn't the best idea. I have fun with him but then he will ruin everything with a lewd remark that really puts me off. But since I thought I would never see him again and we have shared a lot together over the years, I would take the risk. I am just going to pay him for my half and not go. Link to comment
ButterflyWrists Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't see how you owe him your half, for the simple fact he ignored ALL of your requests so that is his own doing. Tell him that you are not going and that he should have consulted you before making any decisions (like agreed) when he asks why not. Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I also stressed that I want my OWN bed and we should get a room with TWO BEDS. I'm not sure why you would even trust him in a room with two beds, especially knowing that "he often makes sexual innuendos towards you?" I'm sorry, but it looks like you walked right into this one.

I wouldn't pay in this case. Link to comment
buddha55 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I also over read that. then I also wouldn't pay.... but why don't you just ask for the booking info and call the hotel yourself? sometimes they make exceptions. explain the mix up and that if they have a double room you'll pay for that.

DN Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Most hotels will put an extra bed in a room. Link to comment

You were being very naive. Link to comment
ParisPaulette Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Another vote for crazydogs suggestion. You can tell him, "I voiced exactly what I wanted, you booked what you wanted. You purchased your own bed, now lie in it--alone." Then never respond to him again. Link to comment
annie24 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Haha looks like P booked a romantic long weekend for you two! Maybe you should get your own hotel room? Link to comment
