[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I'm not friends with people like this. It's truly not a judgment. I think a lot of people prefer not to plan, and just go with what their mood dictates, or what comes together on a particular day, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But I am a planner. I never go to bed at night not knowing what I'm doing the next day (absent emergencies, obviously). And generally, by Sunday night, I know what I'm doing all week, and the next weekend. It's just my strong preference to know what's coming. So I just can't mesh well with people like this. It's too frustrating for everyone.

I was also like this way before kids, FWIW. [/quote]

NP here. I’m exactly like this as well. I like to plan one “social event” (i.e., outing or at-home get-together with a relative’s or friend’s family) every weekend. We have a pretty big circle so it’s not hard, but I like to plan 1-2 weeks in advance. Some people are so spur-of-the-moment that it’s impossible to meet them because they only initiate a couple days in advance (by which time I already have plans) and don’t commit ahead of time. I like them and I don’t take it personally though.[/quote]

Making plans on Wednesday or Thursday for the weekend is not spur of the moment. It may not be be as early as you want, but no one is flying by the seat of their pants in that situation. It’s certainly not comparable to someone telling you the morning of if they are interested or not.[/quote]
