Ever wanted to meet up with friends to have fun? Simple fun. Like bowling perhaps?
Ever been asked, "who else is coming?"
Am I not enough? Is there a specific person that has to be on the list before you go? Is there a specific head count to be met before you decide it's worth your time? Isn't a friend asking for your presence so you can both (with other friends of course) have fun? Isn't seeing your friends enough reason for it to be fun?
Why does planning for dinner and bowling have to be complicated?
Seriously, it shouldn't be. It's a simple "I can't come" or "Sure, I'll meet you there", or even "I'll let you know tonight". "I'm not sure" is only an answer if you follow it up with a definite "yes" or "no".
It's really strange to have to convince friends to come. An "I don't know" turned into "Ok, fine, I'll go" sounds like you don't really want to. If you don't want to go, then why not say "I can't" (since we both think "I don't want" to is too harsh an answer).
The top two answers I like receiving the most are (1) "When?" followed by "Sure!" without asking for further details about who's coming or who's not; and (2) "I'm not sure, I'll let you know" then I get a "What time are we meeting?" the very next day at the latest.
The first one either thinks I'm good enough company or doesn't care which of the friends go just as long as a few meet up then it'll be awesome no matter. The second one wanted to go, but wanted to make sure he didn't have any prior commitment before saying yes.
...or it's just me and my period being all too sensitive.
