Well it's mpre complex than that around the cruise, right, Don? The money comes from the company that hired the band, but if Don shows up without a date then he's the guy who wangled his way into having his own room by himself instead of sharing with a bandmate and that looks kinda bad. I get it.
But seems like the solution, IF it came to her bailing which I actually doubt will be the case, is to just pony up for a new gal's plane fare, which seems a small investment and something you can afford. So I'd just quit worrying about it.
I DO think Joseph is on the money though about you having caught feelings for WG. Truthfully, if it was just casual for you too you wouldn't be pulling back now - you're doing so to protect your feelings. That's ok. Just be aware, that it's possible that you are actually ready for a relationship again - maybe not living together or marriage, but a steady monogamous dating thing. If so, you'll need to turn your attention to likely candidates.
