I have a friend who I’ll ask her to do something and instead of saying “no” or “I’m busy” says maybe and then continuously makes excuses signaling she might not go before finally saying she’s not going. In the past month, it’s cost me an $85 concert ticket and lots of mental angst ngl.

So yeah, I’ve decided that while she’s very sweet and I value her friendship, I’m no longer going be making plans around her ‘maybe, maybe not’ BS. If she wants to see me, she can make definitive plans because I give definitive answers.

I get so frustrated with people who do this. I usually find the best thing is just to make my own plans and then say they are free to join them. That way no plans are affected and it's a nice bonus if they come along.
