By last minute, I mean the night before, or the day of (in the morning). It could be a concert, sporting event, a restaurant, their house, etc. You aren't the only one of course. They already invited others. An old friend and coworker for instance just invited me to his house to watch the Superbowl and eat BBQ this morning. I s He asked me if I was doing anything today, and I responded that I wasn't doing much and "why what's up?" He then told me. I haven't responded back an hour and a half ago. I feel really embarrassed. Especially since I've been suggesting to him if he wants to hang out once every couple of months with another coworker who used to live there, and he was kinda dodging it. This is just my personal opinion too, being invited very last minute to an event that had to take several days... Just feels weird. It might depend on my relationship with the person and what event it is of course. But I always feel really embarrassed and don't want to be eager to join. Maybe its part of my culture as well. --- Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need. <cite>Arcanine2009 posted [p:971516064] in How do you...

The_Popo 02/12/23 2:26:00 PM #3:	It depends on the circumstances. If it is someone that I legit dont hang out with very often, and its an invite on a spur of the moment meeting with them, then no big deal. Or if it is a last minute invite because someone cancelled on them. If it is a last minute invite from a friend or group that I see regularly, and it is for a party, then my reaction would probably be What the hell --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The_Popo posted [p:971516356] in How do you...

Ar0ge 02/12/23 2:30:41 PM #4:	It's usually annoying. Especially if they are close friends. A friend of mine always invites me to things last minute. He says it's because I have kids, and he never knows if I'll be busy or not... But like... The earlier you invite me the more likely I'll be able to show up lol I can make plans to find a babysitter or something. Can't do that last minute. Doesn't take sense. <cite>Ar0ge posted [p:971516468] in How do you... [t:80345686]...</cite> <quote>It's usually annoying. Especially if they are close friends.

Lost_All_Senses 02/12/23 2:34:37 PM #5:	Indifferent. I don't really put assumptions on anything others do. Or if I do, I immediately write it off as having no actual evidence. There's always thousands of reasons something can happen. I probably won't go, since they gave me no time to get in a social mindstate tho. You can't really just spring social shit on introverts lol. It's rare I'll immediately be in the mood. --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:971516547] in How do you...

Gamingsince1989 02/12/23 2:41:40 PM #7:	If it's someone I barely know or family that pulled something like that I wouldn't care and wouldn't go either way. I don't show up last minute for people I don't really care about. As for friends doing that, I wouldn't question it because so many of them work the most random hours they're not always capable of sticking to their original plans. If I get invited last minute, I will just show up as long as I'm not already in the middle of something else. <cite>Gamingsince1989 posted [p:971516695] in How do you...

Lokison 02/12/23 2:48:10 PM #8:	Usually annoyed because I know I would normally have fun at whatever they invited me to, but without time to mentally prepare myself I get agitated and can't enjoy it; or say no and regret it later. --- Word from the wise: Don't drink the under-sink-juice. <cite>Lokison posted [p:971516817] in How do you...

But I don't wanna make up a lie for not going. I honestly just say Im not in a social mood when I don't want to. You don't gotta lie.

K181 02/12/23 3:05:25 PM #11:	Youre putting way too much thought into this. They asked if you were free and then invited you. Ruminating over them not inviting you sooner isnt healthy.

HBOSS 02/12/23 3:14:28 PM #13:	Depends. Free, sure i will make the effort & time for it. Sucks i was a last minute invitee but glad my name was even brought up. Partial/full payment... who the event is for, if i have any interest and who will be at the event really determines if i go. Again, last minute invites id gladly take if i had at least 8-12hrs to prep. Like if i need to buy a suit for a formal event, id want at least a week to tailor my new suit --- You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing <cite>HBOSS posted [p:971517310] in How do you...
