My ndn is a bit different - guy in his 40s, in the two years I've lived here only ever seen what looks like his mum visit a few times, he's never away at night (very noisy car that makes my windows rattle so know when he gets back every day), has a pet rabbit, cleans his old crappy car very carefully every week, drives a few mins down the road to the corner shop to pick up microwave food. I think he might be autistic or something, do you think I should make more of an effort to be friendly?

Well you know, be kind to everyone you meet and develop friendships with the ones you like.
You sound like you are treating him like a charity case or a bit of voluntary work.

He sounds reasonably normal tbh. I'd get chatting to him when I see him but I wouldn't invite him around for dinner.

I think you should invite him for one of your candlelight suppers.

Can you REALLY hear him stabbing through the film on a ready meal?

If this man was interested in you to be your friend he would say hello to you as it is he is just interested in his crappy car and microwave dinners if a neoghbour came up to me and asked me to diner I would say no thank you a wave and a hello in the passing is fine by me

Lots of people living alone eat convenience meals for one. That's what they're for. Can't believe you can hear him stabbing his microwave carton through the wall!!

You should invite him for dinner

Just make sure you don't get any hair in his food

Mrsjayy · 14/02/2015 17:58

Excuse typos

if you think theres something a bit strange about him, then dont start inviting him for dinner. Hes not a charity case surely.

Just get on with your life, leave him to his.
