Of course, those words are bad in almost any context but in personal settings they can be devastating.

Your response should always be “Can I call you first?”

This will give your friend the opportunity to give you either additional reasons why they need to call you (and not the other way around) or you will get a “yes” from them.

Simple… sometimes mean, putting someone on the spot like that. But if they can’t be honest then you should feel no remorse over exposing their ill intentions.

For your personal ad headline today give this a try:
“Can I call you first?”

Have a great day!
