New friend(?)

[pinkdragons]

I recently moved to a new area.
Don't know anyone.
Got speaking to a fellow mum at the school gates, we have 2 DC both the same age. I invited her round to mine for coffee (when that was allowed), we went for lunch in town twice and a walk. It was early on in the friendship. Anyway she went a bit funny and started ignoring me at the school gates. I messaged her to see if she fancied a walk one day, she said she couldn't. She unfollowed me on Instagram. I only realised as she then tried to re add me (I don't know how recent the unfollowing was as I hadn't noticed).

Ok I left it, but I still see her on the school run. Should I bother saying hello & making conversation, or just leave it. It's awkward because her DC will say hello to me as we pass.

It feels very silly.. But don't know what to do?

Maybe she unfollowed you by accident and that's why she's trying to add you again

I'd probably just see if she talks to you otherwise don't bother

Her behaviour seems strange, but it wont cost you anything to be nice or to be the bigger person.

A hello once in a while, even if just for the sake of the kids wont hurt. If she's receptive back you can take it from there if you do want to keep a friendship going with her.

I wondered if it could have been an accidental unfollow. But it's more than one click so some thought/ intention must have gone in to it

I’d just be polite. If she wants to be your friend she will approach you
