[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you open an evite then the sender can see that. When I don’t want to be bothered I just never open until I have a solid excuse. That way the sender thinks I just haven’t opened - meanwhile I’m coming up with a reason not to go because some people just can’t take a simple no[/quote]

This.

Or, if it’s an event I do want to attend, [b]I don’t want to seem like a desperate weirdo who RSVPs 5 seconds after the email comes in[/b]. So I wait and then it gets buried in my inbox even though in my head I’m planning on coming all along.[/quote]

You really need to grow up.  The fact that you actually engage in that kind of thinking is ridiculous.  [/quote]

When you pull a paper invitation out of your mailbox do you IMMEDIATELY get on the phone and RSVP? Guessing not, because that would be weird. Why should it be any different just because it’s an email?[/quote]

You must have reading comprehension issues so I'll try to spell it out more carefully for you.  The PP said they "don't want to seem like a desperate weirdo who RSVPs 5 seconds after the email comes in."  I bolded that part of their post, so it should have been pretty clear what I was responding to.  The fact that they actively think that they should wait to RSVP (and then, by their own admission, they forget to to respond at all even though they then show up because they always knew they were going to go) is incredibly childish and stupid.  Your response has nothing to do with what I wrote.  However, if I get a paper invitation out of my mailbox and I know I can go, why would I not respond immediately?  And why would that be weird?  You have some very bizarre hangups that you might want to examine further.[/quote]
