[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't mention it. You were within a mile of her and didn't think to email or text to see if she wanted to stop by on a coffee break and give you a hug? How often do you seeeachother? I would be pretty offended.

On the other hand, I live in Arlington and am not really offended when people I'm not super close with don't reach out. There's so much to do here and I don't live in the city anymore. But it definitely signals the end of a friendship. [/quote]

Sometimes you're in town for a very specific purpose - a wedding (and all the pre wedding stuff), to help a sick/hospitalized relative or friend, maybe you're there to attend a funeral and support  grieving family/friends, etc.  Your days may be booked and you really may have zero time to get together with anyone.

I would be really sad if a friend assumed the worst of me and held something like that against me.  I would tell them that I was in town and why I was in town.  I would hope that they would understand that I had no time to get together for chit chat - even though I would have loved that.[/quote]
