why does he invite me if hes not even going to respond?

[HansonGirl]

I don't have tons of friends but I consider Mike a friend. Not bffs . But somebody I feel like a friend. He includes me on these group invitation emails. Some of them are a small group of people like 10 people . I always respond one way or another whether I can make it or not .Recently it was for a Trivia night .I really wanted to go. So I responded saying I was in. Let me know the details. No response whatsoever . He only sent it to like 10 people . I was starting to wonder why he even invited me .

Then the next time I saw him it was fine but when we got alone I said he knows he is an a$@h0le . I was rather surprised he'd say that. Does this mean he was like being deliberately rude? I assumed he didn't like me. I don't even know what is going on with this guy. I Sid t know what to say .

I really could use some trusty friends. I don't feel that with him . I know it's not a big deal to some but I I don't like when people completely ignore me for no apparent reason . At least he seems to acknowledge it ?

I think what he meant was he knew it was rude of him not to reply to your message.

He probably didn't do it on purpose just to be rude to you, but some people are like that. They "forget" or "don't feel like replying." At least he's aware of it, but that's still no excuse.

It might be best to just think of him as an acquaintance, and have low expectations. He might be fun to hang out with every now and then, but don't count on him.

 

I have some "friends" like that. Whenever we make plans or when I send them a message, I'm always expecting there's a chance they'll flake on me, or won't reply. So I'm never really disappointed if that happens.
