I know this guy, we're not that close but we have some history together. We went to the same college where we hung out as undergrads and we ended up in Seattle together for work. We'd meet up to catch dinner or to watch our school's basketball games and stuff like that. I invited him to my birthday dinner celebration last month, but he recently had his and he purposely did not mention anything about it to me. I know he has a different crowd of friends that he hangs with, but I hung out with him just the day before his birthday (I didn't bring up the topic on purpose even though I knew it was his birthday tomorrow) and he never said a thing. I am a little perplexed why. Has anything like this happen to you? I don't think he hates me or anything, but why would he not want me there?

How do you know he had any kind of celebration for his birthday? I don't celebrate my birthday, maybe he does not celebrate his. I call my best friend from college every year on his birthday but he does not call me on mine....I am pretty sure that is because I remember his yet he does not remember what day my birthday falls on. It does not make any difference to me.

Maybe he likes to hang out with 1 core group of friends that all know each other.

Who cares? If you invited him to your party with the expectation of getting invited to his, you're doing it wrong.

maybe he didn't think you'd gel with his other friends?

I have 3 distinct groups of friends that I actively keep separate in my life because I don't think they'd really like each other (my high school friends, sophomore/junior year of college friends, and my senior year of college friends)

Coming into ATOT and asking for advice about hanging out with guys is a bad idea unless you have very thick skin.

That being said - maybe he didn't have plans or maybe he didn't think of it at the time. I don't always remember to ask all of my friends to my gatherings

Yep. I have two groups: College and HS/hometown friends. The groups are substantially different so I keep them separate.

He probably didn't think it would be a good idea to invite you over to a party with a bunch of people you don't know.
