Invitation/Suggestion

[Biensur21]

My DC has made friends with a girl that is new to her school. They are BFFs. The friend's mum has made quite a bir of effort with playdates etc and said how nice the friendship is and how pleased they are to get to know another family in tge area and that we should have a drink/meal etc...so i suggested a few dates and no reply at all. I am inclined to leave it now as am not overfussed iyswim but DH thinks i should ask again. Not a massive problem, i am quite pleased not to have extra hosting to do tbh as pretty busy but just interested in how much effort to put in!

I will definitely come into contact with her at school gate/ through DD in September but am inclined to just not mention anything. Though i am a bit of a traditionalist and think it's a little bit rude/ disorganised not to reply at all to an invitation (on other mum's part) but perhaps she's simply really busy! 🤷‍♀️

How long ago did you suggest the dates?

Maybe just follow up and say 'hey, did any of those dates work for you? Want to make sure we're not double booking anything '

About 6 weeks ago. Might mention it again if it feels right or she mentions it, don't want to push it if she was just following social niceties though. Will see how it goes. Thanks for your reply. Bit of a non-problem really. Tbh, there is something that strikes me as a bit flaky/unreliable about her but i could be wrong (and there could be lots of reasons why) so maintaining a bit of distance might work out best for a while, anyway. Or just having a coffee togethet first might be more low-key. We do quite a bit of hosting so are pretty relaxed about it normally, anyway but she could be a bit worried about doing a full-blown meal? It's a bit intense and a few hours! 🤷‍♀️
Going to stop overthinking now and see how it pans out. 😂
