I feel so awful about this. I met up with some friends today, one girl I dont know very well was there and I thought she was going off somewhere else. Anyway the point is that I totally excluded her :-( I didnt mean to!! I just didnt invite her to lunch with us. Basicly I know she was hurt and I tried to fix it by inviting her after the fact but I am so thick at times. Its just that, I really thought that she was leaving :-(. I talked to my friend and she was like nah, dont worry. But when I look back, this girls face was insulted, when thick me didnt pick up her sign of wanting to go with us, I didnt notice at the time <sigh>
Anyway should I drop the issue? Or should I do something about it? Normally I would drop it, but I have read some posts on here that make me feel like I may have really hurt her. Please advise

Do you have a way of getting in touch with this girl? If so, maybe you could call her and explain that you thought she was leaving and did not mean to exclude her. This may make her feel better that you made the effort to contact her and clear your conscience (sp?) as well!!!
Good Luck!

I dont have her number but I could make a point of trying to run into her. I guess thats probably the best thing. I was going to just leave it. But I think thats a good idea to say something.
Thanks you guys :-)

By all means hunt her down. Go to where you know or think she'll be and tell her first thing that you were looking for her because you owe her an apology.
If she's like most of us, she'll start out on the defensive because when someone has knocked us down, we tend to come up swinging.
It's so important to right these little wrongs. We never know just how much harm we might do, inadvertently.

I ran into her earlier today and as you predicted she was defensive. In the end it all worked out, I explained how I thought she said she was heading out and it looked like she was leaving AND that I generally am just rude as a rule LOL (she laughed) then she said that she figured as much haha ;-)
Anyway its all fine now, you guys were right to do something. Im glad I did.
