I've been living in the Uk for a long time but not orig from here..It puzzles me when people say to me 'we should really meet up some time' but never really action it.. What is the point of saying such thing then??!! In my country, if you don't fancy meeting up with someone then you don't even suggest it in the first place?! I used to fall for it and then feeling really upset when nothing happened. Or sometimes they would meet up with me once or twice and then disappear. Now, I just take the conclusion that people don't like me so became my own best friend. I find it pretty sad though how years ago I used to be a very social person and now I'm all by myself (apart from my kids and hubby who, although being english, also struggles to find himself any friends since we moved away from his birth county..?!?!). And i think we are funny and welcoming people..
I wish people were just honest with what they say and if they don't mean something then should not word it..
