Ok I have a friend and she was my past college teacher. Well I have been to her house and we have gone to lunch and all that.. we have become closer friends. Well I have gotten her new baby a couple of outfits and since we only talk through email, I emailed her and told her last week and asked when a good time to come by was and she told me anytime, but to tell her when and what time I decided.Well she never answered me so I didnt go over there. Then I asked her again this week and she emailed me today telling me to come by at 6:30 tonight but just a few min. ago, she called me on my cell and told me thier AC was broke and they are getting it fixed right now and she asked to reschedule AGAIN for next week. These seem like excuses to me.. I dont know what the problem is but it is getting me very annoyed and frustrated with her and it actually kind of hurts my feelings. I feel like next week it will probly be another excuse. What do you think?

I say give her another chance. If she puts you off again look else where.

If she just had a baby she's probably really busy. I don't think it's you, she just has alot on her plate right now. Sometimes alot of things happen at once and they might seem like excuses to you but I'm sure she's hoping you don't feel like that, but instead understand because you're her friend.
I say try one more time to meet up with her. If there is a third delay, then mail the gift to her with a card and leave the ball in her court. She is free to contact you after that but you have no reason to try again because you already attempted three times. You still shouldn't give up on the friendship if she means something to you though.

I think you are way too self-important. She told you to choose a date and time, just let her know, but you never got back with her on that. Then you two set up a date, but she called to say the ac was out and could you reschedule? I would say that was very thoughtful of her. Who wants to visit at a hot, uncomfortable house with a distracted hostess, a fretful baby, and a repairman running in and out? Get over your hurt feelings, princess, and show a little empathy for your friend.

Honey I think that she will get back to you when the time is right. Ac's do go out when they are over worked. I would give her a little time to get things in order. Then you might try back in a couple of days. If she continues to come up with excuses. maybe she isn't as close a friend as you might think. God Bless. Hope all works out for all of you.

NEVER THINK NEGATIVE OK!!! THAT FIRST, second, she might really just be busy, or have house problems, like is her husband OK with it? (that's if she is married) or she just have things to do , but why dint u talk to her and tell her how u feel, cause if she is your friend for some time i think that she can realize how u feel, just give some, time OK. dont get mad about it

I would give her the benefit of the doubt. People with busy family lives (you mentioned she has a new baby) have a really hard time making time for friends and you shouldn't take it personally.

Possibly more excuses to follow!
Thing is - your bothering to make all the steps to keep in contact...
If say for example you was in hospital or had a baby would she bother to contact or visit you..
You need to work out who true friends are - this one definitly sounds like one to forget!

Why don't you tell her to come pick up the items from you when she gets time. I think when someone has a new baby it can get tough to schedual things. Don't burn your bridges but don't let her walk over you.

Sometimes life (her AC going out) hits hard and often.
Give her a chance.

it's highly unlikely that her ac was actually broken but then why would she make up excuses? maybe you should wait and not jump to conclusions.
