Quoting hoping: ..she did say that one time when he talked to her he mentioned all the things he felt like he was missing..going out with friends..etc..but he is not a party goer..
You don't have to be a party goer in order to enjoy other people's company. A quiet evening at home playing cards, triva pursuit, whatever. Do you bowl? Play darts ... bingo? I think you get the picture.
That was one of my wife's complaints a while back, that we don't socialize with anyone and in fact felt like she was not allowed to have any friends (...although I don't know where that came from? ) . My wife has developed some friendships with the gals in the school kitchen staff (she's the cook). So to encourage her friendships , during the summer, I suggested we invite them with their spoused for a cookout, but she never acted on it. The is one friend she feel as close to as a sister, and for the last six months I occasionally suggested perhaps we can go out to dinner as couples. Last night she finally asked if it would be OK if we went over to their place for dinner next weekend. Of coarse, I said yes.

Sue, he is not going to forget about you , but look at the flip side, what if by not hearing for you for a little while, he starts to miss you?
Quote: I said do you want me to go with you.. he said he guessed so.
Sue, accept his actions at face value! He wants you to go with him, that is why he asked. If he didn't he wouldn't have initiated the invite, but no one likes to be second guessed. When he asks if you want to be included, avoid answering with a question. Just give him a polite but direct answer.
