I'll add something... taking it out of the sankie/non-sankie question. If she's not interested in him as a boyfriend, then why pursue it beyond someone to hang out with while at the resort? If she...or you as a family, want to see Santo Domingo, go there as a family...if he wants to meet you for a day and show you around, great, if not, you can see quite a bit of "real Dominican life" on your own. If she's looking for friends in the DR, Im sure there are plenty of girls around her age she could befriend. If he wants to take you to the barrio where he grew up (if he grew up in a barrio, maybe he's from one of the nicer neighborhoods), while it may be interesting to see that side of life here, it's not one of those "must see" things to do in the DR. The capital though, is a must see, IMO...it's a great city with incredible history... but the barrios are, well.. the barrios...
Whether in the DR or anywhere else, I'd be suspicious of a 24 year old guy wanting to be "just friends" with a 21 year old girl...
