"What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?"

Like I should ask someone else to make plans with me.  I would analyze this friendship and see exactly what kind of relationship it is.  It could be they are too busy for you, or that they are only interested in you when they need to be, and not all the time.  Friends do grow apart.  When a friend gets married, they have a different life than they had before.  Old friends have to make way for babies and home life and the spouse.  New friends and new interests constantly replace the old ones in our lives, and we have to adjust.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,
My friend Profitbob gave you (as usual) an excellent answer (gave him 2 thums up).  If it is always, that's a bad sign... if it is often than there might be some good reasons....  find out why and than consider if your friend is worth remaining your friend...... It shouldn't be complicated, after all you are friends.
Best regards,

Hi,

Sometimes you have to make a determination why they are making excuses.  Look at every detail in your life and see if it is something about you, your other friends, too much drinking or not enough drinking, smoke, difference in opinions, different social status, etc.   That can easily cause them not to want to spend valuable time with you.  Usually, someone who disagrees with something will mention something about it, so listen to them.   On the other hand, they could be extremely busy on a project they are working on; they just need more time alone or maybe a new relationship that they want to keep private.  By communicating with them and listening, you can get to the root cause of all the excuses.  Now this won’t make the excuses go away unless both of you can agree on the problems.  So, if this problem doesn’t get better, you will have one less close friend.  They will always be your friend, but might be the one you see twice a year.  There are more questions and answers to add to this if this friend is a potential lover.

Live simply, love generously and  care deeply.

 

Hi,

   If a friend always made excuses, I would tend to think that he/she does not to spend time with me.  I would find someone who has time to do things with.

Maybe your friend has a certain problem that causes this.  I say you should find out if he/she has been threatened, abused, mistreated, or blackmailed.  If none of these things has happened, i would make them verify their schedule that way you can see if this person really is as busy as they say.  If they really are that busy, then find someone else.  Someone BETTER that has time.  I know best friends are like our favorite tinnie shoes and we never wanna leave them, but sometimes we just grow out of those shoes.  You know?  Sometimes you just have to move on.  Good luck.

May be you need to find someone else to have your social-time with, seeing as you don't seem to matter very much to him.
