My new rule is when someone invites me to do something, I always try and say yes. Even if I know the person really well… I always try to have an exit plan. That way if I get tired at the event or if something comes up, I have a plan on how to get out of the situation. These exit plans can be you being on call, not feeling well, having a family emergency, or having something pop up at work. If I’ve learned anything in life… it’s okay to sometimes tell a little white lie if you don’t feel comfortable in a specific situation. Also, for some of the more elaborate plans, you might need to enlist friends or family… which is also okay too… especially if you are in a dating situation.
