[quote=Anonymous]I wrote about this here several months ago. A person didn't invite me to their milestone event yet mentioned it was happening. They didn't mean to mention it to me. Then, they suggested I wouldn't be invited. Sure enough, I was not.

This hurt quite a bit.

Their mixed signals confuse me, though, because they invited me to dinner at their house after not inviting me to the milestone event. For some reason, they knew I would be near their house and invited me over for dinner.

The general consensus here is that this person is not a friend. I understood that to be the case, too. Yet I am scratching my head over why this person has reached out to me. Do they want to keep the relationship lukewarm for some reason?

Did I annoy them before and they want to see if I'm still annoying?

Lastly, do I bring up that they hurt me or keep silent about it? I think I'd keep silent, because I don't trust this person like I once did.

I'm talking with them because we share industry contacts, but talking isn't required. I may not bother in the future.

Why would this former friend reach out? They are not a narcissist, so it's not that type of situation.
