This is probably a weird question, but if you’re indirect boss (my boss’s boss) owned an Airbnb in a popular tourist place and said you could stay for a vacation with your family for a way cheaper fee than normal rate, would you think they’re actually offering it and you should take it up or they’re just saying it to say it?

Background: they are super genuine and and an amazing leader, so i think it’s genuine but not sure if it would be weird or not.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
