Email Puzzle - Your thoughts?

Greetings folks!

So here's the scenario:

You're in your 20's - early 30's. You've got a buddy you've been partying and hanging out with at least three or four times a week - sometimes every day(!!!) for the past two months. Sometimes he/she contacts you about hanging, and vice versa, but it's a regular weekly blast with no major beefs in between. It's nonstop hanging and you both agree that getting out is a must. Then you get the following email from your buddy on a Tuesday:

Hey __,
There's a great event going on this Sunday. We should go. Should be a cool party.

I Hope your week is fabulous!


Any initial thoughts?
I'll explain after a get a few responses

You guys are funny!

Nope, not a natural progression. Abrupt and out of the blue! Now here's where the puzzle comes in. I get the hint "I need space" yet, SHE'S the one who contacted me the most about hanging out, so I felt a bit miffed. In other words, I wouldn't have felt slighted if she just didn't bother to contact me until Sunday instead of the needless, "have a nice week" comment.

In any case, her "hint" was a blessing in disguise. I had gotten used to our rhthym of hanging, thus, neglected my other friends (who are not as accessible, but available at times). Had a cool weekend without her and didn't bother to call about Sunday's event. (You want space? I'll give ya plenty!) Then she writes me the next week asking if anything is new. I'm like, Huh? Then when I tell her, "Oh, I went to a couple of cool parties." She's like, "Partying without ME? Well, please pencil me in when you can."

HUH?

I told my best friend about this just to see if I was being too sensitive. We both agreed that WE are cool enough with each other to say, "hey, we've been smothering each other, let's chill for a week. I need to hang with other friends." Sounds much better than "have a nice week" - say what you mean! Mean what you say! Okay, I'm finished . Girl friendships can be so confusing when you're not REAL with each other. Ya know?

Glad you understand me Backslash!

JO, are you male or female?

Trust me, it's not easy, but it's certainly possible to have harmonious friendships with females. I just like folks to be straight with me, especially when we've already had a breakthrough discussion about being real with each other. For example, when I had a brief but beautiful romance with a guy, I explained to this friend that I wouldn't forget her, and I proved myself royally. A lotta good that did me! lol

Well Jo..sigh...sadly these days and times...you can still be pregnant...and male...

But on a serious note, CONGRATS!

So are you saying you literally don't have any female friends, or very few? If so, will your shower be limited to family? And finally, did you have female friends and none of the unions worked out? Of neva, eva? I ask because I've never encountered a female who has never tried to dip their painted toe nails into troubled female friendship waters!

Priene,

Nope, not spam. She stated something only we'd know about, like: remember the guy we met at such and such... well he's throwing a party. we should go on sunday. so sadly, i can't blame it on da spam

Jo, I hear you. Shucks, I'll be pushing zero in no time! lol
I'm learning that it doesn't always pay to be so darn real. We live in a fake society.

In any case, I'm not losing sleep over this. I'm really celebrating. I swear! Like I said, we tend to get wrapped up in patterns with people. By her pulling the party rug from under me, I was forced to hang with my long lost buddies and I had a great time!

p.s. In case you hard-working writers are wondering...this was my summer to party. I completed my sequel, got laid off, so I'm trying to enjoy the heck outta myself before I have to hit the pavement for a job or write my next book (depends on the size of my advance - if I get one!)

Alas, I'm home now. Deliberately avoiding Ms. Confusion. I should be sleeping at this time. So let me do just that! Additional comments are welcome for ta'morrow!
