A flap and a quandary

TheCatWoman

I've just had a text inviting me out for coffee in a pub on saturday with one friend who moved to Scotland a year ago and anther I fell out with a couple of years ago, its put me in a total flat spin. I want to see my friend Anne, but 11am's a bit early for me to do anything, I'm really busy on saturday anyway, getting a load of stuf to go to the tip. The idea of sitting in a pub with several other people just fills me with horrified panic.

What do I do?

  • That's difficult. Perhaps think about if you want to go first. Then, if yes, perhaps you could meet at an outdoor place, which might feel less intimidating than indoors. As to time, you could suggest pm, after your chores. As to the one you don't like, perhaps you could ask why they want to meet, explaining you feel awkward. One at a time might be less stressful for you, if this proves possible. If not, perhaps you could agree to meet for a/2 an hour only - saying you are busy, and then see how things go before a longer meeting. But, thing is, it is rather nice that they both have approached and want to meet you after so long.
