A PROMISE IS A PROMISE
Even as a young adult, there will be occasions when you’ll have to refuse invitations. If you’re not feeling well, you’ll have to give a “some other time” answer. If you have already made a previous engagement, you will have to decline this one, enticing as it may be. If you have promised to baby-sit, and an invitation to something you would much rather do comes along, it’s hard to refuse, but you have no alternative. If Bill invites you to a school dance, but you have already promised to go with Fred, whom you don’t like as well, it’s a great temptation to break the prior date. In the long run, however, you will find it pays off to keep your promises, even if it means missing out occasionally on something you would like to do.
WITH GOOD REASON
If you feel that you must turn down an invitation, you are faced with the problem of how to refuse without hurting the boy’s feelings. Here are some tips that may help:
When there is a specific reason why you cannot accept an invitation, it’s a good idea to explain if possible. A boy will appreciate your being frank and honest about how you feel.
If you have a previous engagement for that evening, it is better to say so than to give a simple “No” answer.
