Happened to me just last week:
HB (Sunday): we should go out soon
LL (Sunday): sounds good, I'm not free until Thursday night. How about the comedy club?
HB (Sunday): awesome! I haven't been there in a couple years, that will be so fun!!
HB (Wednesday afternoon): oh I can't go tomorrow night. I have to pack for my trip to XXX Friday
LL: (Wednesday evening): ok, no worries, another time possibly
HB: (Thursday evening at 6:45pm, comedy show starts at 8pm): oh I got all my packing done I can go to the comedy club
LL: (ignores her until 9:30pm. She sends several texts like pinging me to see if I am there. I finally answer at 9:30pm): oh sorry just read your text, I couldn't have gone tonight I made other plans
HB: oh I thought you wanted to go to the comedy club
LL: I did but when you canceled I made other plans with some other friends
HB: oh ok I just thought you wanted to see me
LL: I do whenever our schedules allow it. perhaps in a few weeks
HB:
ok I guess
LL: good deal
Truth be told, I hadn't made other plans. I got her text at 6:45, I could have scrambled and got ready and got to the show by 8pm, but I didn't want to put that much effort into it. Was already at home chilling and relaxed by 6:45pm. It was raining and chilli outside. And seeing her wasn't worth the effort of going back out after I was already home.. She canceled, so that was that. We didn't go...
