[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a part-working mom, looking to make new friends for myself.  However, I never get invited to anything.  I always feel overlooked.  I've felt this way pretty much my whole life, since college.  Other people seem to get tons of invitations to activities, parties, dinners, etc. and I always feel left out.  If you can empathize, how did you cope?  I feel like 99% of the time I do all the initiating, inviting, etc.  People are happy to accept my invitations (but I haven't really made any friends, just acquaintances), but never invite me.  My husband has the same problem.[/quote]

I entertain a lot. I also get invited to many things - however - I only have a few people who are friends.  How did I make these friends? By being open to meeting new people, by inviting people over, by accepting invitations and being interested in new people that I meet.  The truth is that out of the many people who will accept your hospitality, only a handful will reciprocate back.  And that is OK.  That is the price you pay when you cast your net wide - that it will be rare to find the pearl. But what a joy when you find a kindred spirit.[/quote]
