Interested, but not attending
You get invited to that basic Facebook event that Derrick from down the hall sent out. You feel obligated to feign interest in attending the event to impress Derrick's hot friend, but you would rather stay in and watch Netflix. This is a classic Interested, but not attending situation.
Did you get the invite to ATO's Pirate Party next Friday?
Ugh, I'm actually interested, but not attending.
