Advice about some inconsiderate friends?

Question

I need some advice. I had a party last night. I fixed food, had drinks and spent almost 200 dollars. I knew that many people were not able to come. Some emailed me or phoned and politely said they couldn't come to the party. I understood, of course. However, some people told me earlier that day that they would love to come, and they promised to come.

Well, the time of the party came and minutes turned to hours. Well, to make a long story short, no one came. I couldn't believe it. I'm not angry with the people who stated they couldn't come, I'm upset with those who said they would.

It is now the morning after, and no one has even called me to apologize. My goal now is to reconsider these friends. Honestly, I'm thinking of just dropping them. Funny that after reevaluating some of these friendships, I should have trusted my intuition. I would love to hear any advice.

Answer 1

Maybe this is a good time to check yourself and see what type of a person YOU are.

Answer 2

Always trust your gut....I agree drop em if thats how you feel.

Answer 3

i think you must first reconsider yourself of choosing friends. If you believe someone who is really honest and kept their promise,then be their friends but if you make friends to someone who didnt act as she/he said, you'll get what you just said..

Answer 4

That's sad. I suppose, in hindsight, rearranging it to another day might've been better.

I'd ask them - politely - why they didn't come when they said they would. If they give you a c**p reason, they're nto worth your time.

Answer 5

FOR YOUR FRIENDS THAT CALLED AND SAID THEY WERE COMING I WOULDN'T INVITE THEM TO ANOTHER DANG PARTY ANYTIME SOON. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WENT OUT ALL OUT FOR YOUR PARTY, AND I'M REALLY SORRY YOUR FRIENDS DIDN'T SHOW, THEY WERE VERY INCONSIDERATE AND MAYBE EVEN JEALOUS. I WOULD PUT ALL THOSE LIARS IN THEIR PLACES, AND GIVE THEM A LESSON ON REAL FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE LIE. DONT FEL BAD, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND MOVE ON.

I HOPE THIS HELPS
