[quote=Anonymous]No matter what the circumstances (like even if you had never once spoken), this is a rude reply to a single invite. She *is* too busy (she says), so replying that she's too busy right now isn't even a polite lie. It's a much politer truth.

However, have you actually ever hung out one on one before? In the house dinner situations, was there another couple there that was the link/glue between the families? I only ask because I have definitely been to dinner parties with people multiple times who I wouldn't consider friends. For instance, our BFF family has another BFF family as well that they know from a completely different context. In non-pandemic times, we see them all the time because our mutual BFFs are big hosters. I really like them, would say hi if I saw them on the street, would chat to them at a group event, etc, but I wouldn't even expect to be invited if they hosted a large-ish Christmas party. They are not, by any stretch of the word, my friends and I would be super surprised if they invited me to hang out except in very specific contexts involving our mutual friends.  [/quote]
