firecat...I never did consider words to be substitutes for actions, especially actions that are repeated over and over again.
Which means that the Nth time you cancel our date because you forgot, or overbooked, or decided something else matters more to you...
...your telling me that you really miss me and really want to spend more time with me isn't going to make much of an impression on me.
You can say that you made a mistake. You can say that you're sorry. You can say that you'll work out some other time for us to get together. But trying to make me feel sorry for you is a bad move.

And if they want me to be sorry for their dropping their end, well there's lots of things to do with a rope.
IMHO.
I'm a really difficult friend. I have standards.
