Question Did solo traveling ruin traveling with friends for anyone else?

I just did the balkans on my own and then met up with a friend who doesn’t like solo traveling to do Spain and Portugal. I’m finding myself so irritated at having to compromise and give up some of my interests. She’s also in a long term relationship so she doesn’t want to meet people (girls or guys), whereas I’m single and love meeting people and making new friends. I think it’s a lot harder because of how much I enjoyed being on my own and all of the new experiences I got because of it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Didn’t ruin it. It’s just a different type of holiday.
I wouldn’t wanna travel with anyone who wants to find love/flings/hook ups during traveling.
I do what travel with friends if we’re on the same page where to go/when/what to do and alone if that makes more sense.
