OP, it's possible that her plan to have him go on vacation with her might be [u]because [/u]she is trying to find out how serious he is about their relationship. Maybe she feels the vibe that he's "just not that into her" and that he takes their relationship for granted, and maybe she expects a vacation to give them time alone together to figure out whether this is going somewhere.

I am not in the "butt out no matter what" camp. There is nothing controlling about talking like an adult with your adult child unless you do it with the intent to control her actions. It sounds like you just hope she will go into this with her eyes and mind open; you're not telling her to ditch this guy or the trip.

I would bet that you have more reasons for suspecting he's not very committed than just the who-drives-on-dates question that is fixating some people who are posting. While I would not tell her to ditch him, and wouldn't badmouth him, I would want to ask my own daughter, "How is the planning for the vacation with Bill going?" and simply go from there based on how she responds.
