Honestly, what would you do?

[WonderfulDreamer2]

What would you do if someone you didn't particularly like from the DIS asked to meet you in person during your vacation? You've been polite to them here but really just have no interest in meeting them. Would you do it out of niceness? Would you ignore their request? Would you beg out claiming other plans? I'm interested to hear how others would handle this situation.

Advice away....all comments will be taken into consideration.

I would meet them and say hi. It isnt going to hurt and if you dont really like them even after youve met them, just say " well we need to get going" or whatever.

I agree. If it wouldn't cause grief to my schedule, that is what I would do.

 

[trappednabox]

is this your way of telling me you DON'T want to spend time with me in November? Humph

 

[Liberty Belle]

I'd meet them, but not for dinner or anything that would take an extended period of time. What's the harm in meeting them? You may find you like them more than you thought you did.

Ok, I've thought on this a bit more. There are a few posters who have completely different view on life, politics, etc, who I'd have no desire to meet. I wouldn't be so friendly on here, though, that would make them want to meet me.

Isn't it past your bedtime? I thought surely I could get some answers and you'd never know.

honetly I don't know what I would do in that situation though I always try to be nice, but if it's someone I really don't care for I think I would probably avoid them

OH OH, who is it, who is it?!

I've been in that situation not here but on an email support group that I belong to. There's a woman I actually met in person twice (because I travel to her area a couple of times a year) but then something happened between us and I don't want to see her any more. The next 2 or 3 times I went to that area, I just said I was overbooked and too busy to meet her, oh so sorry, blabla, and that took care of things. Now I don't even pretend to be busy. I mention I'll be traveling to the area and leave it at that (it's the kind of group where I wouldn't be able to just disappear and NOT say where I was going).

IMO, if you really don't want to meet this person, then don't. Just be nice and polite when you say no, don't hurt their feelings, but I wouldn't feel under any obligation.

YMMV, of course

I agree - Meet just to say hello.

There was a Disser at Pop the same time as we were in July (the last week). They had their 3rd floor window decorated with the word Dis. I can't go to a high floor due to a medical balance problem - BUT - if I had been able to, I would have loved to put a note on their door or say hi.

 

[Oreo Cookie]

OH OH, who is it, who is it?!

I want to know too!

OP - if you don't want to meet, then just decline the offer. You don't need to go into details or give a reason.

 

[WonderfulDreamer2]

I'm embarrassed to say.....
it is you I really didn't want to break it to you this way.
Now, if they offered to buy me a drink over in Epcot, this could have an entirely different outcome.

Sorry, I'm usually a pretty nice person and don't intentionally want to hurt others feelings........but if I'm on vacation w/my family at WDW and there's someone that I don't really want to meet while I'm there..........no way I'd go.

DH's best friend was at WDW w/his girlfriend and her daughter when we were there last year. DIdn't plan it that way on purpose, we had our trip planned first and it's the only week they could get off to go. We didnt' even meet up with them while we were there.

It was my DS's first time there, and honestly I didn't want to have to plan around another families wants/desires/needs. I wanted it to be a trip solely based on what DS's wanted to do. Rude of us? Selfish?? Maybe. But we had a great family time and that's all that mattered to me.

OP--Just tell the person you'd love to meet up with them but are really busy and maybe next time...........Or maybe they'll read this thread and you won't have to tell them.

I want nothing to do with you people

AHA! I know it's not me. Because I would offered to meet over drinks for sure.

Then what are you doing in November, Big Guy? Oh yeah, I think I'm already gonna meet you. YOU may just not know it yet.

[KelNottAt]

"Sorry, I can't do it. I'm teaching my kids not to meet up with people from the internet. So, I'd be a hypocrite and undermine my own rule if I met up with you."

I've actually had to say that before, and it's the truth.

I agree. When we're on vacation as a family, my family and our plans come first, period.

Well now that you posted this here you probably won't have to say anything
