The hosts didn’t say not to post them. Should I chance it?
I am very busy with work and family stuff these days. An old friend asked me to have dinner with him probably six months ago. I said yes, but I haven’t been able to find time to do it. I want to see him, but my schedule is so packed, I don’t know when it can be.
He feels like I am blowing him off, but really, I am not. I am simply overbooked. Do I tell him it’s not going to happen anytime soon? Do I offer to schedule a Zoom call to catch up?Balancing TimeStart by asking your friend if you can hop on a call or a Zoom to connect. Tell him you miss him and want to touch base, but you don’t want to wait until you can be face-to-face to do so. Make your invitation short and sweet without making excuses.
If he agrees to talk, use that time to check in with each other. Share what’s been going on in your life, and listen to what’s happening in his. Again, avoid overapologizing for the realities of your life. If he presses for when you can get together, admit that you don’t know. Between work and family, you are overbooked right now. That’s why you wanted to jump on this call, to make sure he knows you care about him and to let him know you don’t have a date in mind right now for an in-person get-together.
