recklesskelly Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Last week, a female coworker canceled our lunch outing that had been planned all week. We've recently become friends and she was so worried that I'd be mad at her. She apologized profusely and wanted to reschedule when I'm back in the office in two weeks. I explained that I totally understood and wasn't mad at all, but since we just started talking, I can't be sure she believed me. I left the office thinking she perceived some disappointment on my part. I was considering of leaving a brief note on her desk this morning to reiterate my understanding and let her know I look forward to seeing her when I return. Do you think this is something she'd appreciate, or put more precisely, is there any downside to the gesture? From my perspective, I'd feel a heck of a lot better about things. I really don't like to leave my friends with doubts. The tone of the note would be lighthearted and serve to hopefully ease her worrying. I found it pretty sweet that she was so concerned about my feelings, ya know? I appreciate your objective thoughts on this, especially from a woman's POV. Thanks.

stillafool Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Is this a love interest? Because I don't see any problem with canceling a lunch if you have to. Leave the note if you must, but I don't see your cancelation as a big deal.
