I can say that I agree with a few comments above. It is a fine line we have to dance on between "friendly neighbor" and "bff". We can't come off as cold while trying not to bff it up. But we really have to watch what we say and how we word it so we are any seen as pursuing.
Up front I think my way of doing it was wrong. Looking back it most likely came off as cold and bitter. I have lightened up a bit and let conversations happen but not drag them out or use one word answers. I am constantly thinking ahead in a conversation as to how I can politely end it and get to my "plans".
