How do you handle being invited to someone's house and you really don't want to go? What is the apprpiate way to tell them no thank you? This couple well actually two couples that work (men do ) for Don have invited us over on several occasions but we really don't want to go. 1.) because one of couples drink 2.) Don doesn't want to assoicate with the guys outside of work (He saya it gives the wrong impression) and that people may think he is playing favorites. 3.) The couple that drink are really weird (the man is always making passes at women and the wife just laughs) I don't want to lie to them so I have Don tell them we are busy, or that we will try to make it. How would you handle this situation without offending anyone?

Well, Ellise, I'm kinda known for my direct honesty......are they the kind that are easily offended? If not, I think I would just say, "I appreciate your offer, but we don't drink and just aren't comfortable in that environment." And just leave it at that. That's what we tell folks who invite us over and we know beforehand we don't share lifestyles, values, etc. They usually don't press the issue, as that lets them know where we stand. HTH
