I appreciate this is a really minor issue and sorry if I've put it in the wrong place!
I have a friend who I've known for years and I think she likes my company - but everytime we make arrangements to do something, she pre-fixes it with a reason why I won't want to go;
eg 'I know you won't want to coz you're always skint at the end of the month but if you aren't should we go for a few drinks?'
or 'It's quite a long journey so you prob won't want to come but I'm going to visit X this weekend if you fancy it?'
She does it every single time we make arrangements even if I suggest something to do she'll give me a reason why I might not want to (me-should we go and see X film? Her - are you sure? you don't really like the actor in it do you?)
I would understand if I'd ever mentioned the reasons she gives me as to why I shouldn't go but I'm usually really up for 'doing things', I like to make plans for the weekend and it's quite rare for me to say no to something. It's so minor that I don't even know why it's starting to bug me and I haven't actually asked her why she does it - just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
