[quote=Anonymous]If someone invites you to a specific thing at a particular time and date and you want to do that thing and become better friends, you accept. If the time doesn’t work, you counterpropose. If the activity is emphatically not your jam but you do want to become better friends, you counterpropose: “Actually I can’t do long hikes because of a hip injury but would you be up for coffee?” If you would like to become better friends but don’t have time right now, you say “Life is crazy [with any details you’d like to share] but I’d love to when things calm down” and then when things calm down you extend an invitation. Or you come up with a way to accommodate your circumstances — personally I’d be happy to come sit in the backyard for an hour and chat with someone who has a newborn after their big kids were in bed. And if you don’t want to become better friends, you say “life is crazy” and never follow up. [/quote]
