I Feel Used. Should I?
I've been skiing with this group of guys for most of winter and it has been going pretty good. They're fun to ride with and we all get along well.
I got a text message this evening asking me if I wanted to go skiing tomorrow. The person that was inviting me even said in the text that he would pay for my lift ticket (score!). Of course I said I would go. I get another text where he asks me if I could pick up one of his friends, and I agreed out of obligation.
Right now, I feel kind of tricked into giving someone a ride. I know if I said no, I'd put a little tarnish on the short friendship I share with these guys, but for saying yes, I feel like I'm being used. Also, I felt a bit weird that he offered to pay for my lift ticket, like he has to pay me to do him a favor? I feel like it would have been better if he just straight asked me if I wanted to ride with them and if I could pick up their buddy.
I'm going to go tomorrow just so I don't rub them the wrong way, but should I pay for my ticket and drive that guy? I feel like it would almost be wrong to accept money for a favor like that, right? I just want to be cool with everyone, maybe that's my problem?
