[quote=Anonymous]You don't sound unlikeable but naturally reserved or quiet. I am also quiet and often feel like I'm the one who calls people or stops by their offices, and they don't reciprocate or only reciprocate if it's really convenient to them -- i.e. they happen to be walking by my office AND I'm the only one around to talk to. As for lunch -- I feel like I have to say "hey let's get lunch" in order for it to happen.

That being said people have told me that I am likeable. When they hang out with me they do have fun. Personally I think it's because I have a sarcastic and/or self deprecating sense of humor. So while it sucks -- I keep trying and keep putting myself out there and have found a few friends who reciprocate some.

When you do get together with people -- how does it go? Does it seem like people have fun or do you feel like they're kind of looking at their watch waiting for it to be over? I know for me one of the biggest compliments was when someone I really liked and was trying to befriend reached out to hang out with me -- only had about 90 min to get drinks bc she had to pick up her kid, looked at her watch at min 45 to get a sense of where we were on timing, and the next time she looked at her watch it was 90 min and she was like "wow -- it seem like 2 min went by, we've really been here for 1.5 hrs!?"[/quote]
