You think that I don't get this. That dinner offer was just a bluff

Hi

Does the text below make sense to you and could you please improve it? Thanks.

You think that I don't get this. That dinner offer was just a bluff because you thought that I was already leaving the next day so why not give him the offer which he can hardly take. But once I postponed my trip that dinner offer just vanished somewhere!
