>>510863105clearly I was valued less, and that's OK
1. don't imply you had to cancel because of a work or family obligation (that's how it seemed)
2. not something i can improve, no. the other person just has more value to the friend
3. the silver lining is that I now know where I stand and that will help me in the future
if I'd made plans with a friend, I wouldn't change them because i later had a chance to hang with someone else - but that's me.
maybe I'm naive
