Yesterday we had a new neighbor move in. Well five miles away, but where I live that is in the neighborhood. As is my custom I went over to ask if they would like us to drop by some dinner for them or if they would like to join us for dinner at our home.
I knocked on the door and asked as I always do. The person who answer the door said “We’re gay.”
I replied, “Great, I don’t know what that has to do with dinner. Would you like me to drop some by or would you prefer to come to our home.” The door slammed.
My husband was in the truck. He said “So are they coming over?”
“I think we’ll just have a pizza delivered.”
“What?”
“They aren’t ready to socialize yet.”
What would you have done?
Probably the same thing you did, give them some time and they may come around, some people socialize others do not.
