[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, nobody knows the answer and it's not worth the energy trying to find out why she does not want to hang with you 1 on 1. You HAVE to accept it.

There are some perfectly sweet and kind people in my lives that I can socialize with in a group setting, but not 1 on 1. Our personalities just don't mesh that way in an intimate setting. What's the point of trying to get to the bottom of this? You can both be lovely but not mesh well. [/quote]

This. I know someone who does the same with me. I see her in groups and she has asked me to get together one on one probably a dozen times over the years and I decline and don't leave the door open. We even talk one on one in group settings. i think she is a bright, interesting person with good person overall, but I still find her off-putting. My free time is limited and I want to enjoy it with people who truly enjoy.  She is competitive and one of those people who has to brag about the good things she does rather than doing them just for the warm fuzzy feeling even if the general community doesn't know. I find myself having to shower her with praise and it gets exhausting though she seems to like it. There are many things I think are great about her and if I had endless free time and less stress in my life I would make time for her. Because I have a highly stressful and hectic life, I save my free time for my friends who have me laughing so hard I don't want our time to end or who totally get it and we vent and joke about our crazy lives.
