It really does amaze me at the lengths women will go to just to avoid saying "No thanks"! Coffee Buddy seemed to run off screaming into the night and I didn't even ask her to do anything, she was just thinking I was going to! Again, I just can't fathom why it seems a better option to not face the issue and deal with weeks and months of potential anxiety, avoidance bahaviour and feeling badly about yourself? It's too weird for me. Now, I have to say, I am one who has always faced these things for that very reason, I don't want it hanging over my head. If someone wants me to visit for dinner etc and I don't want to I don't say "can I let you know" and not get back to them, I say thanks but no thanks and throw them a facesaving excuse. I just don't get it! Lie to me but at least show me the courtesy of a response! OK, tirade over...and Fig, I lied, I'm already gray! OK, I stand corrected, avoiding me is a response, it's just not a very nice one!
