Earlier this month a friend invited me on a trip he was taking for work. I said, ok let me know the details.

Me going never came up in conversation again.

The first day he was down there I sent a text in the AM telling him to enjoy the trip, he said thank you. Later on in the afternoon I get a text asking if I wanted to spend a couple nights. I said sure, etc etc. Then later on in this conversation he starts talking about how they dont have a ride back up on Friday because he put his car in the shop before they left and the other dudes car broke down, the other guys gf drove them down.

Sooo, I went down there for a couple nights and of course had no problem driving them back.

Now the way my mind works is.......this convesation would have never taken place if it wasent for them needing a ride....them needing a ride is of no big deal to me.....the part that rubs me wrong is :

A. He asked me at the beginning of the month and never mentioned it again.(he has done things like that before, inviting me places but never following through seriously)
B. it was like he tried to mask the only needing a ride with desiring my company.
C. Why didnt he mention anything about me going before they were leaving and following up on the original invitation????
D. After droppping them off i get told "thank you" like it was just a ride and i didnt go down there to hang out .

if it was just a ride he shoulda just asked for the ride I would have given them a ride ethier way....

am i wrong for thinking this way???
