[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only in the DMV is someone wanting to spend time with you seen as an insult. You are really such socially awkward losers. [/quote]

+1 this. lol.

No one is THAT busy. If she wanted to get together with OP, she’d suggest something that would work. Honestly she could say, I’m so slammed but I care about seeing you, could we meet at Costco and chat and shop together? The truth is she doesn’t want to get together because there are ways to make it happen if she did want to. The reasons are very likely about her and not about you (social anxiety, disorganization, overwhelm, private issue she doesn’t want to reveal, etc.). But if she is unwilling to get together and unwilling to disclose, then she cannot expect that you will continue waiting around for her or putting effort into your relationship with her. Just focus on people who do have time to be friends. [/quote]

No one minds being asked. People mind not being allowed to refuse.[/quote]

OP asked if she should interpret the refusal as being blown off. It’s pretty clear to me that the friend is blowing her off if she is neither coming up with a solution nor offering an explanation. [/quote]

Two different answers to two different comments.[/quote]
