I've been friends with a woman I met through work just over a year ago. We have a lot in common, are similar ages and just really got on well.
When we saw each other at work or in passing (we live in the same town) we always chatted well and had great rapport and yet I've noticed that every time one of us brings up meeting up sometime outside of work it never happens. I've since left that job but we stayed in touch and bumped into each other many times.
I've tried multiple times to suggest low key meet ups (dog walks, beach visits etc) so nothing time consuming or expensive and stuff we would both be doing anyway and even though she sounds keen in the moment nothing ever comes of it. Half the time it's her suggesting we meet up and yet every time I suggest a time/activity to actually do it she is always busy.
Aibu to give up on her? There's only so many times I can get rejected before I start to take it really personally. Some of the times we've crossed paths out and about she is with friends so it's not like she's some sort of antisocial hermit who never leaves the house. She also doesn't have any kids and has recently had to give up work so has a lot of free time which makes it feel all the more hurtful that she can't spare any time for me. Wibu to just disengage and accept we aren't really friends? Or aib over dramatic?
