Should I make contact again?

Made friends with a woman , as we met at a baby group. Have met a few times , she invited me to hers so partners could meet all seemed well, talk of us all going out together.

I text her at the weekend and have had no reply. Usually she got back after a day or two, she has been on fb recently so no emergency.
Perhaps her dh didn't like my dh , or me? Anyway been a while since I had to make new friends so do I simply wait for her to make contact or should I perhaps message her on fb incase her phone is broke or whatever , don't want to seem like a desperate loser! What do you all think?

Why don't you call her? Best way is always to call first IMO. Why text or - God forbid - Facebook when you can puck up the phone and have a proper conversation?

Polly, we have never called. Sad isn't it! All our meet ups have been arranged by text/ email, I don't have her home number anyway. I suppose I could call her mobile but if she doesn't want to be friends anymore it might be a tricky conversation.

If you texted her at the weekend then I would let her come back to me personally. I would think you were a bit desperate (sorry!).

Maybe she's busy, maybe she doesn't like you or maybe she is crap at coming back to people. Very often it takes one of my friends 3 months to email me back about availability to go out when she has initiated the conversation!

There are plenty other friends to be had out there. Just keep plugging away being nice and friendly to people. You really don't need to try too hard...

Text her again...I think you are over thinking this! What if she got it on a bus, or whilst driving and forgot to reply??

If she doesn't reply the second time then perhaps you have a point.

Did she get the message (do you get delivery reports)?

Has she got pay as you go and not got any money on it? Lost it? Been a busy week and not got round to answering?

Deffo worth another text.

Contact her on FB, if she is online and showing up in chat, say hi to her from there. Even if your respective partners are not likely to become good mates, there is no reason why she should not want to continue being friends with you. :)
