A close female friend (who is stunning,just great) has asked you to visit them in Dubai for 5 days. The ticket costs £300. You have a history with this friend(both used to fancy each other), of when together you would get very close together, occasionly kiss and cuddle. This usually happens when you go out with them alone. You nearly became a couple, but held back.The female friend is single.
Problem is that you have a girlfriend who has reservations about you going and also wants you to spend New Years with her and the ticket also costs £300 to visit her. You can only afford to spend £300 once.
What would you do? Would you still go, even if your girlfriend says its fine?
This is not me-its a friend who's got this dilema.

My friend has just told me he won't be going because he loves his girlfriend dearly and wouldn't want to hurt her feelings. Thanks everyone!

Don't go! How can he even consider going off with another girl when he has a girlfriend. And besides, of course the girlfriend "says" she doesn't mind, but probably does. She doesn't want to sound possesive, or stop him seeing his friends. He is selfish to even consider going. And if he feels about this girl like it sounds, the chances are he will cheat on his girlfriend. Best to choose one or the other. Ask him how he would feel if his girlfriend went away with a male "friend" like that (one she also had kinda the hots for! Bet he wouldn;t like it. What is the point of having a girlfriend / boyfriend if you don't want to spend all your time with them?

I couldn't imagine spending New Years with another person than my girlfriend. So how much of a "girlfriend" is this girlfriend exactly? From what you told me, it seems to be a long distance relationship where they only see each other every once in a while. So if it truly was a serious relationship, he wouldn't pass on the chance to spend that time with his girlfriend. The fact that it's such a dilemma proves - to me at least - that the relationship isn't that serious at all, which makes the "girlfriend" not much more than a friend than the one in Dubai. So is this also a question of "which girl do I pick for my girlfriend?" next to "for which girl am I going pay £300 to visit her?" The guy in this story probably thinks not, but I'm sure the girlfriend does.

If you, sorry 'your friend' is seriously considering seeing this girl in Dubai considering his history with her then he is obviously looking to see if something more will happen.
No wonder his girlfriend has reservations. Why wouldn't he want to spend time with her?
As much as your friend may feel like there is unfinished business with the friend in Dubai he should go and see his girlfriend. Either that or just go to Dubai and to hell with the girlfriend. He's obviously not that bothered about her to be considering going to see his friend.

Personal opinion it will be better to go out with the girlfriend on news years and ask the friend if they can make it over here at sum point and say you will go and visit her in dubai next time and tell the friend that you will make it up to them
Good luck

Your friend has made a wise decision. That girl is history. He should be spending time with her girlfriend during the new year. They both can send her a season greetings card to Dubai. It's cheaper... :-)

If your friend really fancies his close female friend then it is time to be honest with his girlfriend and go. If he isn't sure, because of the feelings for his girlfriend then the answer is don't go.
There is no point spending money twice, basically he is being asked to make a choice...which girl is he more attracted to and follow it.
good luck to your friend

You already have a girlfriend so spend New Yeras with her, why are you going looking for someone else to have a relationship with, unless you're not satsified with what you already have?
I would leave the girl in dubai well alone, you're asking for trouble otherwise.

it depends on who your friend cares about the most. is it his girl. or the friend. if he goes he could possible be in a relationship with the girl from dubai.. and if he goes with is girlfriend they will still be together.. if your friend goes to dubai. his girlfriend will be his girlfriend no longer. cause face it what girlfriend would understand that... so he has a hard decision to make ...

Your girlfriend has 'reservations!! about you going' on a holiday to Dubai with a old 'friend' who you used to hug and kiss on New Years eve.
You have got yourself one understanding girlfriend there!!!! If I even suggested that to mine she would hit the roof!!!
