Ask Amy: Fellowship blows up over possible affair

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: I am a retired, 65-year-old woman. I live by myself in a townhouse community.

A few months ago, new neighbors moved in. They are two gay married men, in their 40s.

They introduced themselves to me, and invited me over to their house for a backyard barbecue the weekend after they moved in.

I was surprised that they invited me, because I thought they'd think I was old or boring.

I went to their barbecue. I was very nervous, but I had such a good time! They were lovely and funny, and I had so much fun.

Besides waving "hello" to them, or the occasional quick chat outside, we haven't talked since. They seem to have people over to their home almost every weekend, and are very active, but they've never re-extended an invitation.

 

I don't want to invade their space or be the "nosy neighbor." I want to be in their company again, but I want it to be at their house.

I have always been shy, so I don't know how I should approach this.

How should I get them to invite me back?
