I’ve been around the block a few times
Running into a long lost old friend at the grocery store the conversation ALWAYS ends with, “We will have to go to lunch one of these days”. Knowing damn well “one of these days” is a vague open ended, never to be honored point of time. Two aisles later you see your sister in law and the conversation ends with “come over for burgers on Saturday”, “sorry”, Sis in law says, “How about Friday?”. “We have a wedding to go to on Saturday”, “OK, see you Friday”, you reply. A finite point of time is to be honored.
I understand "immovable scheduling conflicts" but when another date is not offered, I’m left to believe.......
