| I moved into my house a few years ago and I've never met my neighbors. Some other people have dropped by to say hello but not really all the people who live right next to us. If it's been 3 years, would you just carry on? |

| Meeting folks is a two-way street. They are no more obligated to knock on your door than you are to knock on theirs. |

| In the 3 years why have you never introduced yourselves to them? |

| I’ve lived in my house for 20 and have never done more than wave to my next door neighbors. Honestly if I ran into them in the grocery store I wouldn’t recognize them. |

I don’t really feel drawn to deepen friendships with my current neighbors. we are friendly but not friends.
We do look out for one another though. We’re all like unaffectionate cats. Protect the colony, give one another space. I’d do any favor they ask and we have one another’s keys but we don’t hang out at all. |

| It might be nice to introduce yourself with a “I can’t believe I haven’t done this sooner, but my name is ….” Not likely you’ll become besties, but it doesn’t hurt to have a cordial relationship. |

| Similar position here (haven’t quite met everyone and it has been years) but I agree with the person that said it is two way street. I haven’t reached out either. I am okay with that but would nice to meet them if the situation naturally arises. |

| Why didn’t you introduce yourself? This area is not very sociable. You don’t need to invite people for dinner, but can’t you say hello? |
