What do you say when someone repeatedly cancels plans?

Here are 3 simple ways to respond to a canceled date:

1. “I was really looking forward to getting together, but I hope we can reschedule soon!”
2. “I hope everything is ok! Hopefully, we can reschedule soon.”

Why does someone keep Cancelling plans?

They feel on edge and can’t cope with a situation outside of their control. This is a common reason for why people who feel anxious cancel plans last minute. They find that they’re feeling so on edge that it’s hard to use coping techniques that usually work for them.

What do you do when your friend cancels?

Assuming that the last-minute cancel was due to good reason, and it’s not a personal attack against you, rest assured the person will attempt to make a plan for a later date. Leave it to her to do so, and when she does, let her know that you’ll confirm with her a day in advance so you’re not left hanging again.

“Keeps cancelling” just means that it happened more than once. If someone cancelled on me twice in a row, I would probably be annoyed. I’d only be angry if their reasons sounded frivolous or specious. However, if someone cancelled twice (or more) in a row, I’d stop making plans with them.

Why won’t my friends invite me to things?

This could be because they still want to feel a part of the group (even though they don’t attend half the things you invite them to) or because they have a problem with decision making and can’t commit properly to invitations. You always have the option of moving ahead with plans and not inviting this type of friend.
