Be straight forward and honest. I would hate for you to "come up with a reason" only to have the sisters from the house tour see you at the game with the other group.

That's what I was thinking. It's highly likely that someone else could be in the same situation, right? I'm not sure how many people are going through recruitment, but I think it's definitely plausabile.

Seriously, I'm sure there's a way that you can say that you'd like to come to the lunch, but already had plans for the game or vice versa. You don't have to say, "I'm watching the game with ABC," but you surely don't want to be busted for being with them, either.

FWIW, I think I'd say, "I'd love to come to the house tour, but I've already promised to meet some others for the game - is that okay with you?" If it's not, then you have a BIG decision to make!

they asked us if they were coming but the other girl who was with us when they asked if we were coming said she would have to leave early (though i don't think its to go to the game with Princess) and they seemed pretty understanding--i think, especially since its the weekend and that it is informal, they understand that we might not be able to attend everything, and they seem pretty okay with it. I don't want to choose just to go to one and not the other because i really like them both at this point. I don't actually think Princess would be okay with us missing an event. they seem a little judgemental of that..i pretty much said that exact thing about loving to go to the house tour (which i am am excited about) and promising to go to the game with others--even though i just found out about it tonight.

anyways, have a good saturday and i'll let you know how everything went when it is all said and done
