[quote=Anonymous]It might be that your invitations are too ambitious. I find that it's easier to start small, get to know someone a little better, and then increase how much time you spend with them. I usually start with meeting up at the park, then having a playdate at our house or meeting for a cup of coffee, then suggesting an outing. I don't want to spend all day with someone I just met. I want to get to know you and see how we get along. Or it's too much of a time commitment given all the other stuff they have to do. Also, if you're inviting a lot of people to a lot of stuff, it might just be too much. It could read as desperate, or they just start to tune you out. And, frankly, a lot of people don't reciprocate. They have a million and one excuses, but it's just a fact. I've learned to treasure the people who do. And the fact that people like to come to your home means that if you want to make friends, you should do more of this, reciprocation or not. You have to meet people where they are. [/quote]
