You ever meet a group of people and think that they would be perfect to add to your circle of friends? This happened to me at a local pub I frequent. I am the boss where I work so I make it a rule not to get to close to my workers. It just makes things easier. Well as you can imagine it makes for lonely happy hours on Fridays after work. I found a pub near the house and started going often and got to know many of the people that work there and go there. I started getting invited to after parties, birthday parties, house warming parties, and hell even invited to join them at other pubs. I thought that I was being included into their circle as I was including them into mine. Well I found out I was wrong. I found this out when I started to invite them to some of my functions. I would throw the invite out there well in advance with no pressure for them to commit, but they would. We would even talk about the event on my trips to the bar. When it came time for the event or the night out they would be nowhere to be found. in one instance not only was I stood up but these people actually took my plan for the night and did it without me. Turns out I was not their friend I was just their bar friend and once I figured that out I was okay with it so I say hi and shoot the breeze, but that is it bar friend should just stay in the bar.
