[quote=Anonymous]Agree with last two PPs. I would urge you to give it another try by hosting a different type of gathering. My DS met one boy two years ago at a similarly awkward non-playdate playdate when we invited his parents over because they were new to the neighborhood. Not only did they not click, they were so disinterested that they spent most of their time on different floors of the house. Well, a few months later after the school year started and the boys were left to socialize on their own they realized that they actually liked each other and have been close friends ever since. I think the pressure of a playdate with adults present can be too much for some kids, especially if they have "special traits." Maybe the other child makes a strange first impression but it's possible that when son gets to know him better they will find they actually have more in common than they thought.[/quote]
