My girlfriend is right at the top of my priority next to my best friends.

If I need to make a choice I will see them as nearly equally important. This means I usually keep my appointment with my friends because I don't see them that often (and my gf everyday). Then again, if the reason for staying with my girl is good enough compared to the reason for going to my friends I will choose her. (the 'goodness' of the reason must compensate for the amount of time ahead i'm cancelling. I.e. if I cancel an appointment for tonight the reason must be extremely good.)

It all comes down to a descision based on equality while keeping in mind how much time I spend with each.
(and how many times I turned them down before...)

EDIT: Lurkette pointed out below that the amount of advance notice you give to your friends must be taken into the equation. I edited my reply to reflect that
