[quote=Anonymous]We had a nascent friendship going with neighbors down the street, but things seem to have fizzled and I'm wondering if it's worth holding out hope that this friendship will continue.

We both moved to the same block earlier last year. We have toddlers who are a few months apart. The first couple of times we would run into them, they would always talk about wanting to set up a playdate. We had 2 playdates (the first initiated by us, second by them). The mom invited me to a neighborhood moms' group and they invited us to Halloween and holiday parties at their place. They came to our kid's birthday party in the fall. It all seemed to be going pretty well.

The last time we saw them was at their holiday party. They invited us to their kid's birthday party, but we couldn't go, so I had DD make a little present for the kid and dropped it off in their mailbox with a note saying "I hope we can get together soon!"

This was last week, and there has been no acknowledgement of the present. The mom also didn't reply to my text saying we couldn't go to the party.

Am I reading too much into this? Is it worth trying to set up a playdate? I'm admittedly somewhat socially awkward and I'm not the greatest at sensing the right back and forth of a friendship, but I also want my daughter to have friends in the neighborhood; it's a big reason we moved to the burbs.
