[quote=Anonymous]NP here.

Most people are wrapped up in their own lives and may have forgotten to get back to you. But it is rude to not respond to an email: "Hey, it was great to see you guys. We are super swamped with out of town weddings etc until October, but how about drinks sometime after Columbus Day weekend."

I really sympathize. It is really hard to meet people and stay friends. It is a very transitional place, and people are super absorbed by the stressful details of their everyday lives.  Also, the geography doesn't really help. You almost have to live in of the friendlier neighborhoods, which I am still searching for.

I also think that there is a tendency for people to be intimidated by others around here, because so many of us have impressive jobs, etc. Or, maybe because so many of us were super awkward nerds in high school (and, hence our accomplishments that brought us to DC) that we still haven't figured out how to make friends.

Can you invite your BFF and other people she knows and that your DH does sports over to a cocktail party or BBQ?
