Per the article, the collegiate counterparty did accept other invitations:
We ended up hanging out quite a bit during those early months.
The social ritual in the article's title was specifically about party invitations:
“Why do you keep inviting Anna out when she’ll just say no?”
“I know she’s always going to say no, but that’s not the point. I invite her out so she’ll always feel included in the group.”
- the_snooze 1y agoIf it's indeed specifically about party invites and not other things, then you're right and I misread it. I wish the author were more explicit about that beyond just a fleeting line at the beginning "We ended up hanging out quite a bit during those early months." My read was that Anna never acted like she's actually part the group because she's only ever shown repeatedly declining invitations.
