[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It think the long phone call was a way for your friend to keep the friendship alive. I don't think she wants to ditch you, [b]but evidently, she can't handle too many at dinner all at once[/b].

This- friends have an order and a sequence and you keep some warm and tend to others at different times. Unless you have a ballroom (!!) nobody can entertain at once.

Also, sad to say that reciprocity plays a huge role. Have you hosted her within the last year?

When we do parties we either go big [b]and knock out all "obligations" at once (yes it's currency). [/b]When we have an intimate dinner party, we factor in who has invited us, which couples get along and who we genuinely want to see. Sometimes you don't make the cut. I'm sure we don't make the cut often at all but I'm not on SM and my friends are discreet so I don't know and don't care![/quote]

I know this PP is just being honest but what a sad commentary on how many people approach friendships and socializing[/quote]

What’s so sad about it? Some people have more friends than they can tend to on a regular basis and have to do some prioritizing. [/quote]

That's fine, and reasonable people understand that. In this case, it's different. The mean girl friend called her up, fished around to see what OP was doing that weekend, and lied to OP about not doing anything the weekend she was throwing the party. That changes the whole picture.

Don't call your friend and play games with her when you didn't invite her to your party. That's where mean girl went wrong. I would likely not say anything to mean girl, but also, would try to broaden horizons and finding new and better friends. It's hard finding new friends, don't I know.
