furrypurrykitty -> Keeping in Touch - How Much? (11/3/2009 1:25:49 PM)
|
I was part of a women's study group that recently concluded after meeting weekly for about a year, which to me was a pretty big commitment. I consider the ladies from the group to be friends and am interested in staying in touch to a point, but it seems the other ladies want to stay in touch a lot more than I do. They've scheduled a series of three-day weekend retreats every two or three months when I would prefer just having dinner out together every once in awhile. The next retreat is in a couple of weeks, and I actually have a schedule conflict that will keep me from attending, but I dread the idea of having to find an excuse not to attend whenever a retreat is scheduled. I'm trying to figure out a way to gently convey to these ladies that I want to stay in touch, but I'm really not interested in attending the weekend retreats. How can I do this without appearing that I don't care, don't want to be their friend, don't want to stay in touch, etc.? Suggestions appreciated.
