People that i ask out usually already have plans already or dont like to hang out often. So its mostly rejections so it boggles my mind that ppl r able to fill their calendars
Hello @user1138, I can see you putting the effort to connect with your friends. I have also experienced a few declines due to my friends going overseas or being busy with other projects. When this happens, I usually take the time to visit my extended family and engage with my hobbies – which is reading! Perhaps you can also take the time to engage in something you find joy doing? 
@user1138 For me, I try to find common things (e.g., hobbies) to do - otherwise, plan to have some friends accompany to run certain errands. For friends with very packed calendars, I try to jio them way ahead of time (almost a month sometimes) as some individuals are planers and prefers to fill their week ahead of time.
