I wish people were more direct.

Was supposed to be going out for dinner tonight for my friends birthday but it was rearranged to a lunch which I couldn’t go to ‘cause I already had lunch plans today.

So...

Me: what you doing tonight?
Friend: just a quiet one.
Me: wanna do lunch tomorrow?
Friend: I take it youre busy tonight then?
Me: well, no. But you said you were having a quiet one!
Friend: I’m easy like.
Me: let’s try this again shall we. What are you doing tonight?
Friend: nothing. Want to go for a drink?
Me: perfect! What time?

Too much fannying about for my brain to be bothered with. Lol!

About 5 mins ago I was complaining about exactly the same thing. A friend of mine is dithering over whether she'll join my gym and book a court with me, I don't mind if she doesn't want to but just give me an answer. 🤷🏼‍♀️
@SW-User it’s unbearable! The man hours wasted lol!

What do you want for dinner? I don't know, what do you want? That doesn't help, I asked you what you wanted. But I don't know, what do you want?

Ok then, left overs it is. I don't really feel like left overs. Well, what do you want then? I don't know, what do you want?

*slams head against counter.
@goliathtree 😂 it’s just awful

My car dealership called me today at work (my lease is up) and I sounded like your friend! LOL!

I just was not ready to start talking about cars just yet.
@JoyfulSilence fair enough. Lol!
Yes. But we avoid rejection by making an oblique approach -instead of 'wanna go have a drink' we ask 'what are you doing?'
@Mamapolo2016 dunno if it was about rejection. Just wanted to know what he was doin’? Lol!
@SevenTierCrazyCake Well, with 'wanna go have a drink' you'd get 'sure' or 'no' and cut right to the chaser.
@Mamapolo2016 probably. But what are you doing? Is just a standard opener here.
