[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Invite yourself.[/quote]

OP here. DH says this is the obvious answer. My thought is that in a group this small they know exactly what they are doing by excluding just one person, and inviting myself will just open the doors for them to make fun of me behind my back since they weren't interested in including me at all.[/quote]

I think you are jumping to conclusions. Indicate to them that you are interested, and see how they react. For example, next time they come back from lunch. comment on the leftovers bag -- "Oh, that sounds a lot better than the sandwich I had for lunch! Let me know next time you go out, and I'll go with you." If you say this to a few co workers over a few weeks and they still don't invite you then, yes, you can assume that they just aren't interested including you.

Also -- who cares if they "make fun of you"? What would they say, "Ohhh, Sally wanted to come to lunch and we didn't invite her, ha ha ha!" If that is really what makes them happy, forget them.[/quote]
