[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thread.

I think that it's common for dynamics to develop between people, and particularly young people who are still learning how to have a relationship, where the friends or couple ends up doing things that one person likes over the other.

If this is a one off thing, where they usually have things they both like to do, and in this one case they have different opinions, then I would say that his suggestion that she goes with friends.

If this is a situation where she is always pressuring him to do things outside his comfort zone, I'd want him to reflect on whether that's a real friendship or a relationship worth continuing.

If it's a situation where he isn't open to doing anything that isn't what he chooses, and doesn't have any flexibility to include things she likes, then that's a different conversation to have.  He might not need to go to the dance, but there should be a balance of activities in the relationship that appeal to each person.

I don't think you can answer this question without context.[/quote]
