[quote=Anonymous]Just because someone is cordial and sociable with you when you're picking your respective kids up from school doesn't mean they're dying for a deeper connection.  
Some people aren't interested in trying to make every amicable association grow and blossom into a greater friendship - some people are quite comfortable having their amicable associations right where they are...casual.
As to the ignoring of invitations, what do you do when someone  makes up an excuse that they're busy...
[i]"Oh, well how about next weekend?"[/i]
Then what are they supposed to say?  
People don't want to be put in the uncomfortable position of saying, "Look lady, I like you and I enjoy our ephemeral exchanges but I don't wanna hang out and get to know one other", and you wouldn't be very comfortable with such an admission either - that's why its easier to ignore the invitation altogether.
It allows for people to still maintain pleasantries as opposed to one day you're smiling and chatting briefly with someone and the next day after they turned down several invitations with excuse after excuse and its obvious they don't want to get together you're sneering and rolling your eyes at someone mumbling under your breath, [i]"She is such a bitch."[/i]
