Thanks. It's very important to be direct but in a nice way with people as to many misunderstandings can occur when you rely on hints alone. Just tell people that you can't get out that much in the middle of the day and then arrange to meet them at a better time when you'll both be free to get together with them.
Without communicating how you feel directly, some people can assume the worst about a situation and that usually causes resent to build up over time. Sometimes people can assume that you're upset with them when you're not if you don't speak up. I'm a lot more direct than I used to be, but sadly, most women in general aren't when it comes to communicating with other women which I don't get at all.
