Some friends invited me to a trip on the mountains(at a cottage) but I don`t want to go. What can I tell them so they will understand and not be angry? Regards, Night Teacher
The problem is that the trip is after 1 month from now, and i don`t want to give an advance payment and then not going. Thanks for answer!
OK, if you really do not wish to go, then just advise them in an apologetic way that you are unable to make it and thank them for the invitation. You must never make advance payments for an event you do not wish to take part in, that is silly. We all have these situations throughout life, it is very common. Lies ? I do not like telling them, but sometimes they are necessary. Invent some plausible reason why you cannot attend (we all do it) and don`t worry about it - join the rest of humanity in the art of innocent deception.
The easiest way is just to tell them that at this point you don't feel like going. Since you know the reason you don't want to go with your friends, it is hard for us to speculate. But telling them simply that you do not wish to go is the easiest. If you want to make up a reason because you feel the real reason would be more offensive then pick something that solves your problem, not one that will only result in more questions.
Thanks for answer Yes, lies are not good, but in this situation could be better for both parts. Thanks for answer and help!
say that you are to go to your relatives who live  in the other city as you donot visit them for a long time and you promised  to come that day.
