It's Always Something

Not sure where to post this since there's no Friends category on the main page.

Do any of you have friends that seem to bail on you after inviting them to out or somewhere with you? I have 2 girlfriends like this. I've gotten to the point where I contemplate not inviting them because there always seems to be something that comes up at the last minute that they can't come. I can almost predict it like clockwork at times. I'll invite them at least a week in advance to make sure they are available, they seem gung ho about going out, but then I usually predict down to the hour of when they'll be calling or texting to let me they can't make it afterall. It gets old. Any of you have friends like that? How do you deal? Did you too just stop inviting them anywhere?

Not sure if this'll matter, but the girlfriends' signs are Taurus and Aquarius. Being a Taurus myself, I make plans and I stick to them. If someone invites me to something, if I accept the invitation in advance, then I make sure to attend. If I can't attend, I let them know at least 24 hours ahead of the time of the get together.

I have one Capricorn girfriend like this. Uggghhh!!! I stop inviting her places and she gets jealous when I am always doing things with my other girlfriends. She always suggests that we do things and 99% of the time she flakes. Or when we get out she is a freaking party pooper!!!

I hate that! It just happened this weekend and I told her to go home and I went out with my other cap girl and cancer girl, we had a blast!! Oh and we met our gem and libra girlfriends out. Fuuuunnnn!

yeah that's how my aqua girlfriend is. she will bail 8 out of 10 times. and sometimes when she goes out with us, she'll leave early or complain that she feels out of place. she is currently not dating anyone serious and feel like a sore thumb when she goes out with me and M - and we do nothing to make her feel like a sore thumb.

one time she took a trip with us to San Antonio. We all had plans on going to eat down on the RiverWalk, but she developed a "headache" and stayed in the hotel room all weekend.

we paid for her $ 160 nightly hotel room and didn't ask for any money for the trip from her and she wastes our money by staying in the room watching HBO. That's messed up. I told her what I thought about that. Good thing she's my best friend but I get tired of your bailing out or complaining.

Yeah, that really sux.

Most definitely aggravating. All I can say is to find yourself a Scorp woman to hang out 🙂with, because we do not usually bail, taking our relationships seriously.

It does take a while to find the right friends. Just keep on going out, inviting out new friends, etc. and hopefully you will find the right ones.

yeah, I met two aqua that did the same thing. They are very flaky. The hate to stick to commitments. I would invite them, and always, at the last minute something better would come up and stood me up. I just stop making an effort. I figure they did not considered me worthy of their time, that's why they changed plans on me for something they consider better. Even though whenever I invite someone to do something with me, I make sure I pay for them too.

I agree with patty! If I've invited them and they've said yes but bail, I'd totally take it personally as if I'm not worth their time.. If thats the case, I won't be inviting their sorry ass out again with me for a long time.
Totally annoyed with people who don't follow through, I've stopped making friends like that.
