Me: Friend is having a lil gathering of friends, would you like to go. H: pause with no response Me: Well think about it, its later this month,,,if you decide not to go would you mind picking me up,,,I dont want to drink and drive home. H: no response Me: Hello,,,,will you let me know H:Yes
Don't look too deep into it.... you played this perfect!
*IF* he even gets back to you, Regardless of his answer (if, yes or no) show no emotion. Just matter of fact "OK" thanks for letting me know (with a polite smile).
*** Side note, I especially like the "I don't want to drink and drive" part (while true)... it added the touch that you don't "need" him there.
If he doesn't get back to you... let it alone (no nagging, no prodding), you offered.... thats the end of it.
