Bump that, being the sister that I am- I would have to ask him to define the relationship.

I would explain to him that I don’t do this with male friends, I came here because you invited me, however, now that I’m here, I feel a little uncomfortable.

In the meantime, have fun as if he was your girlfriend, It seem that he already paid for the big stuff. So you can chip in a little.

I would have to press for an answer, on the last day of the vacation. Until then, have fun

I would pick up the tab for events (e.g. windsurfing, jet skiing, etc) that I suggest and some of the meals. If he is a gentleman, things will work themselves out:-)

Looking forward to posts about your Hawaiian vacation! I always enjoy your blog. Hope you’ll make it to the Windward Side (Kailua, Lanikai) and North Shore (Waimea Beach is awesome) during your stay. Waikiki’s cool but the island has so much more to offer. I live near the HNL Airport and just love living in Hawaii!
Aloha!

Have a great time!!! I went to Wakiki for Memorial Day 2002. It was hands down one of the best vacations I have ever had.

If I made a decision to go on vacation with a guy, chances are ’something’ is defined. I would offer to pay for a dinner [or 1..lol] and I wouldn’t be offended if he let me. As a matter of fact I would probably insist. Afterall, I’m sure he will be spending also.

I would have figured out a way to discuss it before now. But then I’m really weird about it. Basically, after the first date, I explain my favorite philosophy of paying and I ask for his. Then we work out our compromise. Any time something out of the ordinary comes up, I ask how this should fit with our current compromise.

I would not do well not knowing how the paying of things was going to be happening.

Single Ma - no advice, but have a wonderful Hawaiian vacation. My husband, daughter and I were there in December, 2007, and had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to hear about your escapades!!!

I think it’s always best to offer to pay your share, but he probably won’t let you. Don’t worry to much about it though - those things tend to work themselves out pretty easily!
Have a wonderful time!
