[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know OP I think someone really got to the meat of the matter in the last couple pages. You refer to this group of couples and people and ask why you don't get invited. But that points to a lack of individual relationship. You're not asking 'why hasn't my friend Susie reciprocated' which does point to maybe not getting to know these people as individuals.

I would also propose moving, it sounds like you're not in that kind of neighborhood. Move to a neighborhood that is more like that, more social, there are a lot in the DC area (glen echo, del ray, certain centreville neighborhoods, tacoma park). You might just not have a good neighborhood for this kind of stuff.

But you have to stop thinking about this as a polite/impolite problem and more as a 'not connecting with anyone individually' problem. If you connect with someone, you'll end up talking to them and events will occur naturally. It shouldn't always be some formal invitation. Real friendships are the 'hey i'm going to starbucks wanna come?' type things.

But PP with the trader joe's pizza, come on, you need to try a LITTLE bit if someone is coming over. Order a hot fresh pizza and buy a couple bottles of wine. Unless I'm a super close friend coming over to watch outlander or something.[/quote]
Seriously, what's with ordering pizza vs trader Joe's pizza. My friends love a pizza place they always order from, which I can't stand (they put oregano in the crust). I will take trader joe pizza over that any day. [/quote]

Hmm well personally I hate TJ's pizza, maybe that is part of it. But it also is like, 'let's make a frozen dinner' is when I'm feeling too lazy to even cook for my own family. And its IMO like bottom of the barrel dinner. I both don't want to cook or spend money to get something good, so let's just eat some calories. I feel like if someone is coming over I need to at least get the bar above, 'let's eat some calories'.[/quote]
