Here’s what we’d do
Offer one smaller, easier link and make it comfortable to decline. Repeated cancellations can have many causes, so avoid treating a new plan as a test of friendship. A shorter activity may reveal whether the timing and format simply need to change.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Ask whether planning now is welcome and offer a specific low-effort option.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Keep the commitment modest and avoid rehearsing every previous cancellation.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
If it works, discuss another plan without assuming a fixed routine.
