maybe your friend is worried you will meet another friend if he isn't there to meet you. If you have been reading about Negril I am sure you have figured out there are lots of handsome men (and some not so) looking to be friends
That is exactly what I was thinking. Looks like he is worried that you might find some other big bamboo. You sure he just wants to be friends? I bet he's planning on showing you a good time and hoping for something in return. Than again, he could be different.
