So I have this 'friend' we're not really friends just a classmate I met last semester. She doesn't drive and I do, she keeps on asking me to take her to places. I did 3 times, I don't like saying no. So the first time I took her home during finals week and I had class in a different campus that I live 5 minutes away from and had to drive 20 minutes to the campus she was on. I really didn't want to but she had no way of getting home. So I took her home and now she keeps on asking me to take her to places. I did it 2 more times because she was staying at a house near mine only 1 freeway exit away. Now she has moved back to her old home and that house is about 20 minutes away. I would give her rides but the thing is I hate back tracking that is something I hate hate hate to do! And me picking her up I would back track a lot because she lives 20 minutes away and places she wants to go to is near my house.
And I asked her why she won't take the bus she said there is no bus stop near her but there is a bus stop near her she would have to walk for 5-10 minutes. I don't know I think I'm being too harsh. When I didn't drive I would take the bus home it would take me 2 hours. I hated asking people to drive me home even if it would be a lot faster, and would never even think of asking friends or even the really good best friends to take me to places. If they offered that would be a different story and I would only accept their offer if they were a really close friend of mine. I don't know I just don't like asking people for things.
I've told her I don't want to take her because she lives far and I hate backtracking. I know I'm being selfish. But I have also offered to take her when I will be on campus to return a book but she says no she wants to go on a certain day. If this were to happen to me I would take whatever day that person would be willing to take me. I just don't feel the need to go on campus twice when I only need to go once. Another thing is I don't work so my parents support me and pay for school and everything else I might need. And I really don't want to use gas or money unless I have to. She offered me lunch or to pay me back but I don't want to take money from her it's weird.
What do you guys think? If you were in this situation what would you guys do? I know I am being very mean.. I wish I can just take her but I really don't want to. Any suggestions? Or any stories that you guys might have similar to this?
Sorry for this long rank.
