[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who skips every third get together with a group of friends we have. I think for her it's a way to control finances. If she said during planning she could not make a weekend, we'd pick another so she agrees and then cancels day of. Every third time![/quote]

That doesn’t make sense as a financial strategy. It might work if the outings were on a schedule or all of the same approximate cost. But skipping a night out because it came after two three day weekend getaways would not help. [/quote]

Ah, I see! These are always dinners. If we are settling on a weekend and then picking the dates for the actual event (sometimes we say ok, the weekend of Dec 10th, and we'll pick either Saturday or Sunday as the weekend gets closer) she'll agree to whatever. If she said it was no good at that time, we would keep looking for a date. I've never commented on this pattern to anyone in the group, she must have her reasons and I'm glad to see her when we do. I'd be annoyed if these were 1:1 plans. [/quote]
For whatever reason she doesn’t want to meet that often. She tries to bow out but you keep insisting, what should she do? [/quote]
