Say you have a friend whom you like OK but who's not really a top priority friend, say because they aren't that glamorous or pretty or thin or they had a baby or whatever, and say that friend wants to hang out, you say: This week isn't looking really good, but next week or the following week on Tuesday would be good (because you're going to Palm Springs or have ---better---friends in town or your house burned down or whatever)---and then that Tuesday arrives you can always send a quick email saying: you know, I’m so sorry, but tonight isn't so good and neither is tomorrow, but how about next week on Thursday. And the next thing you know, after doing this a couple of times, you have successfully put that friend off for six whole months! Because, really, seeing that third-tier friend is like such a chore!
