I find that I have friends that I like to see in certain contexts but not in others. For instance, I might want to go hiking with a friend or to an art exhibit, but our coffee dates bore me to death. When my friend invites me out for coffee, I can suggest that we go for a walk instead... but if she says no, then what? I can't say I'm busy because I already said I was free for a walk.
I am having trouble navigating this. I suggested getting together for a hike sometime soon and she responded that she could meet for coffee next week. I am not sure how normal people deal with these situations. I am pretty sure they don't overthink them the way I do!
