I understand that people get busy, but that's no excuse for being rude. A simple one minute no, I can't this time is not to much to ask for. It makes me feel like I'm not even worthy one minute of their time. I wouldn't be so rude as to ignore friend. I'd feel flattered that they'd want to go out with me and not blow them off like they're a pest.

I have a bad feeling that they might be doing the slow fade on me. As for the dynamics of the group, I'm almost positive that if I mention getting together with that other woman they both like a lot for her upcoming birthday that they'd be happy to get together then although she lives far away from us and she'd rather not drive down here to see us.

IF they still blow me off the, then that's a major red flag. This other friend I talked to last night told me that I was to 'needy' and that I'd push them away if I brought this up. I would do it politely of course. I disagree with her. She also called me 'entitled' and that I expect to get my way all the time, ugh, wth?

I disagree with her as there's nothing wrong with wanting to be treated with respect and courtesy. I'm sure that they'd be upset If I did that to them. If I don't speak up, they'll just think that they can continue to treat me like this which is not OK with me. I'll be firm but polite about things when the time comes. I plan to do things privately with them each.
