I think this society's focus on being in a "couple" is so overwhelmingly suffocating that we cannot feel whole unless we "obey".
Personally, I do understand her fear (and that what it is, a fear). But, why is the first impulse to bring a member of the opposite sex and NOT just another friend??
Yes, I'm pushing the topic because I don't think people (not just GCers, but everyone) like to admit their fear of being the single one in a group of couples....

I second what everyone else has said in response to this. Honey...first of all the point of me asking is that he IS A FRIEND WHO I WOULD HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH! I specifically said that I would not want to take some random dude on this cruise. I will go alone if this guy doesn't want to go. Secondly, the psychoanalysis can stop because you don't know me well enough (or actually at all) to know whether or not I have a "fear" of being single. Trust me when I say that I don't. If I wanted to be in a serious relationship because I was scared of being single, trust me, right now I would be in one. My first impulse with this cruise is to bring a FRIEND who I LIKE who I WILL HAVE FUN WITH...everyone clear now? thanks
ETA: and as KSig RC said...it would be fun to get 4 straight days of action on the boat...haha
