things like that annoy me.

I really wouldn't want to do a lot of research for her. Doesn't she have the internet?

I would just tell her that unless she can say for sure she'll be spending NYW with you that you'd rather not take the time to research a whole bunch of things. I don't think it would be offensive or rude to say that - and it *is* offensive and rude if she is feeling people out to see who has the best plans. I hate that, too.

Tell her that you would love to take her to NYC any day or night but NYE it is going to be a mob scene and hopefully she does not have her sites set on times square. Otherwise look on evite.com they publicize events as do a few other places.

Just tell her you will look into details when she decides if she's coming or not.

Or, if you don't care about going to nyc, just tell her you have decided to do something local and she is welcome to join you if she wants to hang out with you.

i have a group of friends in ireland who decided they were going to come to nyc for nye 2000. it was a huge deal for them -- they saved for a long time and were totally excited for it. for them nyc was this legendary place and to be there for the millenium was just the coolest thing. the thing was, nyc on nye is crazy (not to mention cold) and it ended up being such a nightmare to plan something so that the night lived up to their expecttations.

anyway, i guess my point is that nyc on nye is hyped up and people who don't live there have such high expectations and you really shouldn't be expected to plan the night for your friend (b/c then if it sucks its your fault). anyway, why can't she look into it too?

if she can't figure out whether or not she's going to NYC by now, she's insane. NYE is less than 3 weeks away & your response was more than fair. if she can't commit by now, neither should you.

I say forget about it - and her. Just do your own thing and if that's not good enough for her than she can go to Times Square with the rest of the touristas!

When planning my NYE, hanging out with her wouldn't have come to mind since she is so far away. Now she is acting like she is doing me some kind of favor. I am NOT trying to get her to come here. I don't know why she is trying to make me work to get her here or something. If she is here, we can hang out, but I don't want to plan some big night. "

i'd just email her and say you need to know by a specific date (i'd say monday) since most places require you to make reservations in advance b/c they sell out. i would also ad that a lot of places jack up the price after xmas.

but at this point i'd be inclined to just cancel the whole thing, or just let her know what you want to do (hang out with your friends) and tell her she's welcome to come along if she's interested. if she's aggravating you this much now, she'll probably drive you crazy on nye.

It sounds to me like she wanted you to come up with this great "going out" plan and if what you planned wasnt to her liking then she doesnt want to come.. Thats kinda crappy!
