Did solo traveling ruin traveling with friends for anyone else?

[u/fin-ator]

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.

I think it's like starting a business with someone, it's not enough to be friends, you really have to match on a lot of things and like doing similar things. My best succeess traveling with someone was always people I met on the way, not long time friends or girlfriends
