Friends

[lemon12]

I wondered what peoples opinion was.
Ive 2 very good friends and they arrange to walk once a week something I would love to do.
I have mentioned this to them and they say "oh yes we must do it" but it never happens.

They ask me to join for coffee ot always takes weeks to organise. They called to my house today just back from a walk arranging we meet for coffee later in the week.

They would not come into the garden bit just stayed out the front. I felt quite put out. Am I being over sensitive?

No, I don't think you are being over sensitive. It's strange how people are like that, you'd think they would get that it's hurtful. I don't know why they arrange coffee but not walks but for whatever reason., they just want their walks to be the 2 of them.

Ask them what the strange behaviour is about. They're either good friends or just consider you a third wheel. Find out and move on.

No, you aren't being over-sensitive. Your "very good" friends aren't very good. They knew you wanted to go for a walk some time, but went without you.

Been in the same position before, gave up trying eventually. In my experience (I'm 62), in general, most people are disappointing.

Join a walking goup or some other type of get-together.

I walk a lot with friends. I will say it is very difficult to walk as a 3. A two (or four) is much easier. There's not enough space to walk together on the majority of paths so someone always ends up behind or in front and it's hard to hold a conversation.

Is there anything else going on here?

Are they closer friends?
Do you have very differing views on politics/vaccinations?
Do you dominate conversations?
