How would you feel if a close friend suddenly started to blow you off?

This happens to me a lot lately with one particular person. I invite them to do something with me, and they will not respond. Then I find out they've invited someone else to go to the same event with them. Just makes me wonder why they are acting that way and whether they care or not how I feel. I'm about burned out and ready to just burn the bridge :(

That seems a very strange way to treat a friend. I think I would just cease asking him to come places with me, so that he didn't know where to ask the other person out to. Find somebody to ask who will appreciate and accept your invitation, and avoid the hurt, my friend. This guy isn't worth wasting your time on. Perhaps you should ask him why he does it, just to try and clear the air. If he's not forthcoming or if he continues to ignore you, move on. There are plenty more polite people in the world who will appreciate your friendship. Brightest Blessings.

Never - True friends don't hurt true friends
I'd have to send her one more email asking why she's acting aloof with you and not answering your emails and see what she has to say if anything. If she doesn't respond then she wasn't much of a friend to begin with. However, don't be fast in burning your bridges for she may learn a lesson or two down life's road and come back to you with a tail between her legs. Another thought, when you invited her somewhere, she may have already accepted the invitation with someone else before you asked but was afraid to tell you but still she should've and maybe even suggested all of you go together. The only way to find out is to send her an email or call her and find out exactly what happened to her for her to be so cold towards you.

I know exactly how this goes... for me, almost every day, the plans get changed at the last minute by someone... its not me, because I don't plan things unless I intend to do them. I feel its cruel to me bacause I'm lucky if I get out of the house once every two weeks... for people to just suddenly decide that I have to stay home doing nothing just isn't right. With my Mom (the snowbird) due home this week, I'll make plans with her, and with a sweet cousin who actually does what she says... these other people can play games amongst themselves.
