How should I respond?

A girl who I am very close to, but who has expressed that she can not have a relationship for the time being, as she is still getting over her last long-term relationship suggested that I and some friends go away for a weekend together. After initial enthusiasm they are all falling by the wayside. I don't want her to feel pressurised that she has to go away just with me for the weekend, although we are going away for six days together in April. Should I perhaps suggest that we don't go if it is a weekend alone together. I really want to go on the trip - she has put a lot of effort into it, and I want to then have a reason to take her away for a weekend to thank her for her efforts.

    I think you need to ask her point-blank. Don't worry...she'll respect you for respecting HER feelings.

    Just say, "Sally?" (or Tiffany or Esmerelda) "I'd still like to go, but wonder if you're uncomfortable with it being just the two of us."

    She'll answer you honestly and if you do go, who knows? It might be the weekend she finally lets go of her ex! :)

    GO WITH HER! Just tell her that everyone has backed out with other things to do, but you still want to go and have a blast together. See how she responds to the news. You two are going away in April so what is the difference between now and then. The two of you should go and have a blast seeing that she has put so much effort into this trip. Have fun!

    I think you should go. There is nothing wrong with going away with a friend for the weekend. Don't get pushy with her though. You'll ruin a perfectly good friendship. Right now she needs you as a friend more than anything.

    If she has told you she can't have a relationship right now- and she meant it- it's probably best to avoid situations where you are alone together, especially for extended lengths of time. Respect her decision and don't pressure her, or you might find yourself having ruined things for good.
