Bullshit Sandwich

In this hectic city, I am constantly running into people whom I haven't seen in a while. We chat on the sidewalk for a bit, and inevitably, the end of the conversation sounds like this:

"Let's do lunch sometime!" or "We really should get together!" or "We should talk!"

If the person who suggests this future meeting doesn't take out their datebook (does anyone really use a datebook anymore?), I assume it is just another way to say "So long!"

If you want to get together, the most effective way is to actually set a date.

Talking about getting together sometime will get you nowhere. In my experience.
