Yup........ If these are friends that she doesn't see often, you've gotta be flexible on this one.

That seems pretty rediculous. I'll see her Sunday, so its not like I won't see her at all. (I also offered Thursday which she turned down) I should sit around all weekend with no plans in the hopes she may call? That's rude.

When I had a close friend come in town, I told her in weeks in advance what we would be doing on what day, and what day she would be welcome to join us. I see this guy twice a year. That's called considerate.

EDIT: A little more context:

I had a paper due Thursday (yesterday), I have a final due 2 weeks from yesterday.

The only time I've gone out AT ALL over the past 4 weeks (also looking for teaching jobs and going to chicago for interviews) was to see her, and I was going to relax for 1 night with friends this weekend, before going at the take-home final. (essentially a 12-page paper)

So taking away the 1 free weekend I have in 6 weeks isn't very considerate, especially since I have made considerable efforts to see her only during this time.

Additionally, I had planned to hang out with her and her friends, but she said she wanted to see them alone. (That's fine with me. Very healthy to have time with friends). I told her if she wants me at something, let me know Wednesday. This was Sunday night.

She called Wed to wish me luck on my paper, but with no plans, so I made some.

Also, my plans are with one of my oldest friends, who I've hung out once with since August.

Ah hah! I recind the rant. She called and BEFORE I could mention my plans she said, "hey, sorry, I forgot about your plans tonight, I really meant to say I want you to do something with me tomorrow afternoon". (which was the time I told her I would leave free just in case)

She called you back and realized her mistake. You didn't really do anything.

But I'll take a free drink! :TimeForGuinness:

Sabotaging a wedding would be something fitting for a rant in a thread titled "Women..." if you catch my drift. :shock:
