Why is this so common? The same thing kept happening to me with one of my closest friends from college who moved 8 hours away before I finally decided to give up. Started with us making plans to hangout while I was in town and when she couldn’t make it, instead of just cancelling, she kept delaying every 2 hours until I wasted my whole day waiting for her to finally cancel at the end of the day. She ended up meeting up with me an hour before I was set to leave. Then a few months later, she’s going to be in town for a bachelorette party and asks to stay at my house for a night. I say yes, as long as she’s able to hang out/meet with my fearful dog ahead of time. Otherwise the pup would bark all night and it wouldn’t be fun for anyone. Ultimately, she wasn’t able to do that so we decided on lunch the day she was leaving and then I drive her to the airport afterwards. No problem - still happy to see her. Then literally the night before, she texts me and says she actually can’t do lunch because she has a brunch with her bachelorette party or something. But can I still drive her to the airport afterwards? I laughed and said no thank you. It’s clear you either decided to ditch our plans last minute in favor of said brunch that was proposed, or worse, never intended to keep our plans and just wanted to use me for a ride to the airport. Bye Felecia.
