Years ago I had the same problem and decided to take the direct approach.I hung a sign on the door which read "if you don't call first...don't knock".

Ignore them and find something in life to take your attention from them. Like the saying of a vampire you have to invite them in so don't do that.

Just say, "well I hate to be rude but I think we're gonna have to get together another time I have some personal errands to run or I have to get some sleep". Tell them you'll call them tomorrow as you stand up & start walking to the door. Or you could scream there's money falling from the sky & slam the door behind them & lock it as they run out. heehee...best of luck to you!

Go to nicer places . Also don't give them anything till you get to know them.

go to groups, like drama groups or other actives that you like and introduce yourself to people there.  But you have to be outgoing, because if you don't make to first move to say "hi" people will just think that you don't want to hang out with them!  Hope this helped and goodluck!

Call them and ask if they are okay.  Tell them that you were worried when they didn't show up.  That will force them to give you a reason.  If they don't, just let it go.  Unfortunately, that type of thing is a risk a person has to take when having a party.

People down south are very friendly, and we love people like they're family. The way to meet people is to get out and get involved in various activities.  Join a club that interests you. If you meet a guy there, he's interested in the same thing. Take a class, for fun, at the community college, like knitting, painting, computer, etc. Go to ball games, outdoor concerts, street dances, etc. The main thing is...get out of the house. Good Luck! Welcome to the south.

you can't really do too much except respect the fact that they won't talk to you, if they are your friend then they will talk to you.  just leave them alone and carry on with  your business, they will come around soon and if they dont' then you don't need them

Try writing or phoning them. It usually works.

Find a group of people that are dark and "not out going" (normally like today's goths of Emo kids) then you asert your self, as a leader amoung them. Most of them dress and act that way to be accepted by some one. Accept them. Then you do lots of stuff with them, start a buzz about it get members to spread the word make it so not every one can get in at the start. So that it is all the more important to get in. At the begging you have to set ground rules for you and your new "friends" so that there is no power strugle.\n\n\nI have not done this, but this is how you would go about doing it, but do not do this for violence, world domonation sure, but no one needs to get hurt.

If you're in a fairly affluent area, you need to network. Rich people will not just pluck someone out of the blue without any recommendation from someone they trust. Mingle in your community, attend church and community affairs, get to know people. Then let them know you are available for housekeeping assignments.\n\nOn the Web, you can use free classified ads.

Act like nothing happened. Most likely their grown up by now and maybe even feel remorse for there previous actions. Be the bigger person. Say hello, how are you, and be on your way.

well, the fact that people want to reach out is wonderful... you're just saying that you want to know if the keyboard is better than the knock on the door.\n\nit depends on the circumstances.  for instance here on answers, you can reach out to total strangers with a fair sense of security to learn about them and their interests.  let's see you try THAT on the street.  i know it's expected here, but my point is that it's just another way to connect to humanity.  it's not sad, but just another possibility, much like the telephone, or the happenstance meeting at the post office in your hometown.\n\ninternet dating sites:  the time is past when they are stigmatized as tools of the desperate who cannot find anyone 'the regular way'.  similar to a park or a bar, an internet connection can be just as vivid, and leave a bit more mystery as well!  of course, common sense and safety are the keys here to an enjoyable 'connection'.\n\ni see your point in wondering if the human connection is lost by communicating via the net.  i used to tease my mother about e-mailing the lady who lived next door to her instead of going over to say hello... they did THAT too of course, but it seemed a stretch.  \n\nthe net is a great tool to keep connected with friends and family who are now distant.  it is also another medium to reach out to strangers and share ourselves... as much or as little as we like.  perhaps we DO exclude our hometown bothers and sisters a bit more than we once did... but are internet friends inherently inferior to real-life ones?  a healthy mix of both is my preferred way.

Talk to her and agree to meet on middle grounds if she thinks it's not fair that she always has to be the one coming to your place. If she's a good friend, she should understand your situation and try to help you with it.
