[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. It just happened again yesterday, tell me what I’m doing wrong.

“Larla” texted me asking if we were free for a play date later on in the day.

I didn’t want to move my plans around, so I responded that we were headed to an event about 10 minutes from where we both live and she and the kids were welcome to meet up with us.

I got no response back. Not even a “sorry we can’t make it”.

Not a big deal I guess but this is the third time in a row she’s reached out for playdates that day, then never responded when I say yes.

I’m thinking of saying something to her. I’m just getting really irritated over the whole thing.

I guess I’m also really irritated because I know the texting the wrong number thing is a lie. [/quote]

So, for this particular example, I would think she had in mind to invite your DD over to play with hers so she could cook/ clean/ relax/ whatever.  She didn't want a family get together at an event nearby.  So she didn't respond right away- maybe mulling it over, or seeing if she could get a different kid over for a playdate instead. And then forgot to respond back to you.  Its sort of like if you invited someone to come over for a dinner you were about to cook and they said "actually i'm going bowling , want to come?" That's not really what you were inviting them to do, it's sort of a weird bait and switch where they know youre available and youre trying to get them to do something totally different.

Are these what all the examples are like? Or just this one?[/quote]
