OP here.  I didn't think of it this way but perhaps you are right.  Maybe that is why they are just ignoring, because they don't want me to suggest another day/time because they don't like me and don't want to get together.  It's just depressing. [/quote]

OP - I don't mean to sound harsh, but this isn't MS/HS.  Find something else in your life to give you fulfillment/meaning.  Not saying having friends is not important, definitely is.  But, you are sounding desperate and maybe a bit clingy?  Not everyone wants to make new friends or socialize with people that aren't their close friends.  This is not me, btw.  I just realize that not everyone wants to be sociable with everyone.  Just move on.

[b]Pardon my French, but FU.  OP Is making the effort to reach out, not driving slowly by your house late at night.[/quote][/b]

Well put.  And thanks for letting the rest of us know how highly you think of yourself.  Not others, just yourself.  [/quote]

Other PP here.  No, I don't think "highly" of myself.  I've accepted almost all invites, even ones where I wasn't that crazy about the kid, but my kid seemed to want to go.  But, I have had a couple of moms not respond to my invites.  I don't get depressed about it, and sit on my computer and post how depressing it is on dcum because I realized a very long time ago (in HS I think) that if someone ignores my invites, then I'll take that as I hint that either they aren't interested in being friends or they are not the type of people I'd want to hang out with since they are rude.  Either way, I'm saying move on.

I'm not originally from the east coast.  What I'm finding about the culture of this area is that some of the people that are east coast natives are quite insular. They don't seem to want to expand their circle of friends.

So, again, OP, just move on.  You will continue to meet new moms as your kids get older.  Keep reaching out to new moms that you meet, and don't focus on those moms that keep declining your invite.[/quote]
