Golden Rule between Girlfriends
| Mon, 02-27-2006 - 12:12pm |
Okay Ladies, is it a Golden Rule, that when a man calls you for a date (be it last minute, or on a day where you have something planned with a friend) that it is understood between your girlfriends, that cancelling is acceptable?? Yes, my gfs will call and say "sorry, so and so called" and I'll get annoyed and their response is "girl, you know it's the Golden Rule." Ironically, there have been instances where the guy doesn't even show up or shows up later in the evening!!
Geez, I hate when women make themselves so available in a relationship. I had one friend tell me, "well it's a new relationship, I need to give him all my time!" Ugh!!!

I think I already responded to you on this...someone who did that to me more than once or twice would not be a friend of mine for very long, that's for sure.
I've been fortunate, I guess...my friends aren't like this. As I think I said before, of course there might be exceptions...a last minute invite to an awesome concert, for example...but that's definitely the exception not the rule.

Yes, it is a Golden Rule. It's the Golden Rule of how to lose a friend pretty quickly. Personally, I would reconsider the friendships. To me, what is acceptable in business is acceptable with relationships. Would I tell client A that client B called therefore we have to cancel? No. Because I have more respect for them than that.
I'll tell ya... some of us chiks are something else. LOL
Not with my friends and me.
I do not cancel previously made plans for anyone.
That's an unclassy thing to do to a friend. I had a gal pal years ago that would do that to me. Hence, we are friends no longer.
