If you are the type to totally not pressure me into anything then I will return the calls.

Seconded. There's nothing worse than people that act like salesmen towards you, and won't leave you alone when you've given your answer.
friend: Hey, we should go get drunk tonight
me: nah, I have a busy weekend and haven't had a good sleep in days, I'm going to take it easy.
friend: hey man, don't worry we're only going for a couple, I'm kind of tired myself
me: You just asked if I wanted to come get drunk, now your tired and only going for a couple
friend: whatever man, you'll have a few, then you'll be glad you came out
me: Maybe, but I'll be ****ed for work, I'm ready to crash right now as it is.
friend: okay fine
phone rings...
friend: c'mon Man! Just come out, you can't say no
..and they just won't quit, and keep whining for you to do something, and then they wonder why you start ignoring their calls.
