Dear (((Bettie)))! Cat and I have met you and both of us would hang out with you and would enjoy doing so, and we’re good judges of people, so that should tell you something. Call the ex-sponsor and say you feel like going out for a bite to eat, and see what she says. If you go out, ask for separate bills, so that she doesn’t think it’s your treat again. She may pay for yours because you paid for the movie. Even if she doesn’t, she is paying for her own. I don’t wait to be included in activities; I invite myself. Sometimes I get rejected, like when I invited myself to the Cayman Island with Ingrid. I found out later that she invited a girl she is friends with in Toronto. I didn’t feel rejected because that was her decision who she went with. You have friends; you just don’t realize it. Carole
