[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is rude of them.  But that being said, you can't change them.  I think you need to focus your efforts on others who may be interested in actually following through on meeting up.[/quote]

OP here. The friend who didn't want to get together for dinner with us last weekend suggested we meet for coffee tomorrow. Guess what, she has just texted me to say she definitely wants to meet up with us tomorrow and catch up over coffee. Hurray!
I'm really glad she's coming out with us but I find it takes us a lot of effort to get people to meet up with us.

I also think some people are stuck in their ways. Another woman recently declined my invitation to get together because she was 'busy'. I know she has a weekly routine she finds hard to get out of, including her weekends. She and her DH work in their yard every single Sunday. There is no flexibility.
DH and I are more flexible in our approach and our life is not as regimented (apart from our jobs).

Wow, stalker. You know your friend's routine, and you are the objective arbiter of her energy level and how she should spend her time?

You. Are. Psycho. So glad I dropped hyper-needy friends like you at the beginning of COVID. I used to humor them by relegating them to coffee dates. Wouldn't bother with them for a dinner or on a weekend...you know, like how your friend is keeping you to coffee instead of dinner?[/quote]

Why did you bother to relegate them to coffee dates? I mean, if you didn't like them much, why bother at all and waste everybody's precious time?[/quote]
