[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, stuff like this is why I hate trying to make new friends. I once told a close friend of several years that my husband and I would love to have them over for dinner sometime (something we'd done many times in the past) and she replied, "Ugh, can we not -- I feel like we get together so often and need a break." It was such a slap in the face and insanely hurtful, especially when "We're crazy busy right now, can we rain check?" would have been a completely acceptable response. It didn't kill our friendship right away but eventually it did die and she was the one who acted surprised. There is a time to be blunt and "responding to a perfectly well-meaning invitation" is not it.[/quote]
