That's kind of how I feel too, but I wasn't sure if I was required to make another attempt. I'm glad you agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-87541 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:29:35 +0000 tequiero21 87541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if they didn't respond, i'd assume we weren't meeting. since they have no desire to confirm details. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86978 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:10:13 +0000 Adira 86978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Yeah, I know what you mean! Fortunately, I don't have any intention of making other plans. Normally Sunday is my relax-day. The only reason I decided to try to make plans with them on Sunday is because it's one of the few days we're all free. If we end up not hanging out, it'll just go back to being my relax-day!</p> <p>I am kind of annoyed they haven't responded, but I'd actually prefer not to hang out with them at the moment, so I'm kind of hoping they don't respond and I'm off the hook, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86976 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:06:26 +0000 heffalump 86976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I would just be annoyed because what if you want to make other plans if they decide they didn't want to hang out then? Are you just supposed to keep your day free just in case? That's the one thing that would make me keep trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86971 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:51:41 +0000 Adira 86971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: Yeah, my work mentor gave me the same advice, that I probably should try to follow up with them incase my first e-mail got lost or something. If I don't hear back from them by Friday, I may try e-mailing them again, but I don't know... I guess it'll depend on how I feel by then. I'm kind of mad at these friends at the moment because they gave me grief for hanging out with my other friends. I guess I'll have to see if I'm over it by Friday! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86966 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:41:45 +0000 Modern Daisy 86966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are the ones breaching etiquette by not responding, so you have nothing to worry about. If I were you, even if I wasn't thrilled about meeting up I'd at least send a follow up email today or tomorrow to make sure we were still on. I'd just write them "Hey guys, I don't think I ever heard back so are we still on? If so, do you mind replying to my questions?" I at least like to know what my schedule is ahead of time, otherwise they could wait until the day before and confirm, throwing you off balance.</p> <p>But I think technically you can just take their non-response as them not wanting to get together and by not following up you are totally fine etiquette-wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86961 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:37:43 +0000 Adira 86961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Thanks! That's actually the answer I was hoping for. :P I just wasn't sure if I was required to make another attempt if I don't hear back from them. I mean, we definitely have tentative plans, but my last e-mail asked about times and food and stuff, and I was thinking since they didn't respond, they must not really want to hang out either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86959 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:34:45 +0000 heffalump 86959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You've already asked, I don't think there's much more you can do. Especially if you don't really care about hanging out. I'd just wait and see if they respond, and if not oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/etiquette-question-making-plans-with-friends#post-86958 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 13:30:50 +0000 Adira 86958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm in the middle of making plans with a couple of my friends. I e-mailed them with a suggestion of getting together on a certain day with an activity. They responded with a "sounds good!" I have since e-mailed back with questions asking what time and if we're doing lunch, etc. That was five days ago and I haven't heard a response back yet. We're supposed to be getting together on Sunday, so...</p> <p>If I don't hear back from them by then, am I required to give them a call to hash out the details? Or is their silence answer enough that they don't really want to get together? Or should I send a follow up e-mail reminding them that I don't have the details?</p> <p>I want to do what's "right" but I honestly don't care if I hang out with these people, so I don't want to go above and beyond what etiquette requires. Any advice would be appreciated! </p>
