Just Sayin'

I hate when you are trying to setup a play date with someone (initiated by that someone) and they say something like, "Tell me what days work for you next week".

So you send them 3 out of 5 days of availability
(or 60% availability for those of you who like percentages)

Then they say, "Oh, sorry, none of those days work for me."
Or better yet...you get NO response at all for over a week.

?????

First of all:  If you don't want to get together, then don't ask in the first place or just say no if I initiate.
Second of all:  If you have a busy week coming up, then just say so or send me your availability first.

I understand that things come up for all of us...many people have super-packed schedules.  We are not one of those families at this point.  Just don't make me feel like I am wasting my time.

We all have moments like this- no doubt, I do too. But honestly, it doesn't go this way EVERY time someone tries to schedule with me. Giving alternatives/other ideas is the perfect solution IMHO. I would not be upset/bitter about that type of response :)
