[quote=Anonymous]This is weird. I’m on many group text threads (Girl Scouts, neighborhood friends for kid 1, school friends for kid 2, neighborhood friends for kid 2, etc). Occasionally one or two people might not respond but texts never go unanswered.

Since you said you also sent email, I sort of wonder whether something you are doing is off putting to these women. I would find text AND email about the same play date very weird. I was in a really nice moms group when my kids were little, and one of the moms had some issues with social cues. She was generally a nice person but did things that were downright offensive sometimes, for example, being pushy about breastfeeding and baby wearing when certain moms weren’t interested. I noticed eventually everyone started ignoring her invitations and getting together without her. I felt really bad for her and hung out with her alone a few times, but she did some really off putting things and I had to stop for my own well being. Eventually you get tired of making excuses.

Not saying the above is the case, but if this isn’t the first time you’ve dealt with social rejection I’d wonder if there is some larger issue. If not then just play it cool and maybe you will meet someone you click with elsewhere, like one of your kids’ activities.  [/quote]
