an excuse to reject your friend's offer.

well next time try to delay it not reject it ask him if u can take a rainchk on it tht shud help happy lottin and have a nice day!

I think all relationships should be approached with honesty and simply letting your friend know that that particular day was not going to work for you and you would like to pick another day that would work for both of you.

Sometimes if I feel bad that refusing too many times before to the same friend then I will find an excuse to refuse otherwise, I will just say no I don't want to go.

Hi clorissa123...If it were a good friend, I would have to know the reason for the dinner. If it was that my friend was in trouble and wanted to talk, I would go. If they just wanted to know if I would go for dinner and I didnt feel like it, well that would depend too. Sometimes I will do things just to please the other person. There could be some day that I want to do something and they dont. However, if I really dont want to go, I would tell the truth for sure. I dont beleive in having to make up an excuse for a good friend..Whatever I tell you, is my reason, like it or not. However, if caught off guard, I do understand how easy it would be just to say something else and avoid confrontation or hurt feelings.

Hi! First of all let me say that you have done nothing wrong by simply making up an excuse not to go out. Sometimes making these kind of excuses makes a friend feel better by making them think your busy, not avoiding them. Secondly, Yes I would do this to a friend. If I knew that they'd be upset with me I'd easily make an excuse to make them feel better.
