So my (20 F) friend (20 F) of 8 years sent me a message on my birthday (clearly) saying that we should hangout for my birthday, and I suggested that we plan for a day on the weekend (specifically Sunday) considering that was when I get paid and that I didn't have the money during that current week (uni student struggles lol).
She said she would get back to me to confirm if she could hangout on the weekend; however, I had to reach out to her the day before (Friday) to ask if we were still doing something and she said that she was busy the whole weekend, and when I suggested to do it during the week she said she was also busy with studies. It is important to note that she said we would plan something for not the weekend after this weekend, but the weekend after that.
From what I can tell, the main intention of the message was suggesting that we hangout for my birthday (no other topics were involved in that convo).
Just to clarify, I don't ever expect anyone to do anything for my birthday and I am more than happy with just a little message on my birthday with those I am close with.
Also, my friend did send me a little message saying happy birthday to me and I am extremely grateful for it.
I am pretty sure it wasn't out of maliciousness.
I guess I am just a bit confused, bc if someone suggest to hangout doesn't that mean we hangout?
What do I do?
Please be nice in the comments 😊
