Why do people say Lets get together but never do ?

I have several girlfiends that I have known for years. When we talk, they will ask me to have coffee or want to come to my house or get together somewhere & we will set a time. Then usually the day of they will call & cancel. I am really getting tired of this behavior. If I don't take this personal-why do people do this ?

    Some people just say that to be polite. But if it is a constant act, then those people are beyond just rude. Why? I can only guess that they are only thinking about themselves and do not watch what they say.

    If this happens all the time with this set of friends then i would suggest that you make new friends. Usually people say lets get together they are just being polite but not really wanting to do so.

    Most people are all talk and no action. Find more active friends.

    They're politely trying to tell you they don't want to see you.

    Next time, tell them you'll show at their house, then BLOW EM OFF!
