We live in a small neighborhood, while I have talked to a few of my neighbors I am really not in the market for new friends.

We recently bought a house in North Carolina. The neighborhood consists of 1 acre + lots. There are 12 houses and they are very spread out.

One house is right below me. One time when we were there our dog and their dog made friends and were tearing around both yards for a while. After about 1/2 hour of this I went to retrieve my, well, retirever. The owner came out to call his dog I came down to get mine. (ears turn off when theres fun to be had). I went to introduce myself to my new neighbor and he was closed up in his house totally not interested in meeting me.

Some people just do not want to be bothered I guess. I do not think its a cop thing as much as just a personality thing. BTW- My neighbor is a General Contractor. The PO of our house told us when we bought. He has kids the same age as mine but they are NEVER outside. At least when we are there. Weird family.
