However, when I DO ask you...don't say "oh, I don't know" as you sit there trying to figure out my banking status. Name a couple things. It can be spending time together at a dinner, or it can be a pair of Nikes. I don't know...throw some ideas out there. 20$ is legit (unless you're a really close friend). And again...I'd rather spend time with you than buy you ****.

Fifth...I'd LOVE to hear from you (those of you described in category 2). But also...don't be alarmed if I'm somewhat quick to be on the phone. I've probably got some things to take care of. Holidays are when the family is in town. I'm likely with them (unless I'm taking a break from them). So don't get defensive. I want to hear from you no matter my reaction on the phone. Don't be shy, and don't be deferred. But I may be a little quick.
So why are there 2 5th reasons??
