[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--so my question is, [b]why don't they just return my follow up email/call?  [/b]They don't have to actually reciprocate, but why do they just ignore me after that, despite a fun outing?  I don't understand why someone would do that.  Can anyone who has done that shed some light as to why?  I could understand if the outing didn't seem to go well, but it always does and they say how much fun they had, and then I never hear from them again.  This has happened to me over and over.  It has really done a number on my self-esteem!  But I really want to have friends here.[/quote]

That is weird to me.  Even if someone is busy, I do not understand why they cannot take a moment to write an email or text back just to say "Thanks for the great time, really busy and will catch up later."  The only thing I can think if is maybe you did "hit it off" as well as you think you did?  Maybe the person did not want to follow up because they did not want to give you the wrong impression and then have you invite them out again?

I am not trying to be rude, but did you really get along with these people as well as you think?  Sometimes people do not read body language cues well and eventhough they might have been nice and polite, you did not see that they were not that into the friendship thing?  Hope it works out.[/quote]
