LISTEN: Is it rude to find out who’s a on the guest list BEFORE you RSVP?

947’s Mornings with Mantsoe talks more about it.  

Listen below:

While some people are socially confident and love meeting new people, others find it difficult. 

Or maybe you just run in some of the same circles as someone you aren’t necessarily fond of.

This means knowing who’s on the guest list is an important deciding factor before confirming attendance.

“A lot of times you find that you’ve got mutuals that you really don’t want to mix with but also, how bad is it? I am the kind of person who even if I don’t want to see you there, [the party] is not about you anyway.” 

– Mantsoe Pout

“I think I would just leave early. The one time that it happened a while back I just came, I didn’t even tell my friend that I didn’t like this person… I just showed up, spent time with her and I left early.” 

– Dominic Majola

It turns out this is a common occurrence.

This 947 listener is all for avoiding her former schoolmates.

“My chat is why would you want to revisit something that happened so long ago… It doesn’t make sense to me why I should tether myself to something that was three institutions ago.”

Another listener does not want his ex-friends to be in his sight, let alone vicinity.

“I avoid any ex-friends of mine by all means. I don’t want to deal with the situation… They hit on my girlfriends because they thought I was drunk.”
