About making an appointment for dinner (2).

Two days ago, I went to work to make a monthly summary report. After work, I met Li XX at the gate of the unit. He invited me to have dinner together at night. I was stunned. "This? I told my family to go back for dinner. " I refused at once, not only because I asked my family to go back for dinner, but also because it was so insincere to invite me to dinner.

Yes, you must make an appointment for dinner in advance. Give me a short notice. What is this?

Isn't there an established saying? Inviting you to dinner a week in advance is the real invitation, and it also makes others prepare. Inviting one day in advance is not an invitation, it seems to invite you to dinner, just like the leader arranges "that person, have dinner together tomorrow." The invitation on that day was not intentional, it was basically making up the numbers. There is also a temporary decision to eat. If it is not a special friend, it is to cope. But if I ask you to reschedule, it's basically out of line.

Someone joked that the biggest joke of inviting guests to dinner is "invite you to dinner another day, and be sure to attend." The guests don't even know when the next day is, let alone be invited. You should basically ignore this statement, otherwise it will be very tangled. When is the next day?

Sometimes friends invite you to dinner. If it's a temporary appointment and I'm not that familiar, I usually refuse. Of course, the word avoidance does not mean that you are too late, but that I have a plan. Let's watch it next time. Next time, I don't know when, and this next time is the same as another day, so it's so unreliable to make an appointment for a meal temporarily. However, over time, some of my friends and colleagues know that you have to invite me to dinner in advance, otherwise you can't make an appointment. It seems that there are many people waiting in line for dinner. Of course, the above dinner date does not include a food stall dinner with close friends. It is always possible to meet bosom friends, which means the feeling of parting.

What I said above is not only my story, but also other people's stories. In fact, not only I, but most people will feel this way. So, if you really invite people to dinner, you have to make preparations in advance, otherwise, if someone really has something to do, do you think he will go or not? Moreover, when you treat, you have to be prepared instead of thinking about one thing, which is the minimum respect for the invited person.

Here, you will say, it's really troublesome and melodramatic to invite you to dinner.
