i really don’t know what to do. my friend from lowe’s asked me a few days ago to drink with her on friday because it’s her birthday. i said yes because it sounded like fun. then she texted me a couple more times about it and i realized that she wants to get super trashed. at a bar. and wants to get us taxis from some taxi service where teenagers work for tips or something. and i just… i don’t wanna. like, that doesn’t sound appealing to me at all. all i can think of is how expensive it will be, how much i will probably end up drinking because i’ve been kind of in the pits lately, riding in a “taxi” with a teenage stranger, having to find a way to get back to my car… just none of that sounds fun. at all. i’d much rather have a quiet night alone on friday. but i already said i would and she told me i’m the only one who is for sure going with her so far. i just… i realize that i’m totally dreading it and keep thinking of ways i could possibly get out of it. what should i do? i feel really bad because i don’t want to flake out on her. she’s really nice. what do i do?
