In a case like that, just plan to go for 30 minutes. Just making the effort to show up goes a long way. You'll find that often you end up staying longer and it's fine, because the hard part all along was passing through the door.

Sometimes, if you want to nurture friendships, you need to let your battery go negative sometimes.

    Was in that situation and nope … 30 minutes would have not even been the travel to them and even if I had lived next door to them: I would not have been able to make it there for 30 minutes. I accept that they never invited me to anything again and that we are not in contact any more (for other reasons as well) and I understand their response, but still: I was not able to!
