Not able to sign DoF

Sometimes I have the option to sign Declaration of Friendship (DoF), and sometimes not. What are the rules with DoF? In the current game I play, I have a friendly civ which has not denounced me, and where we have a trading relationship. Nevertheless, I do not have the option to sign DoF with that civilization.

Did you recently ask for a DoF or did you recently refuse a DoF request from them? That will cause the DoF request to be removed for some time.

Neither did I recently ask for a DoF nor did I recently refused a DoF from them.

I was wondering the same thing. In the current game I'm playing. Alexander was friendly, we did not have a Dof, and a DoF wasn't available. He attacked me a couple of turns later. Could that have anything to do with it?

Maybe it is a bug?

General Tso, that's an intended feature.

He's being deceptively friendly to lull you into not building units. He doesn't want to DoF since I believe he incurs a diplo penalty with the other civs for attacking you during DoF.

Edit: This is often a good way to tell if a civ intends to attack you. But really, you should already be able to judge this by the underlying factors once you've played enough games.

I'd just assume it is a bug if bcaiko's solution is not true.
