We have been in our house for a little over a month now and I have only met ONE neighbor. Aren't your neighbors suppose to bring you cookies and introduce themselves? Maybe that's too traditional. The second week we were here the neighbor next door was out walking what I think was their grandbaby and she waved at me. I waved and said "hi" and started walking toward her to meet her and she turned around and started walking the other way. Hmmmm....maybe we live on a street of introverts. Do I just need to go introduce myself?? Any thoughts...suggestions??

no one came to meet us either! maybe that is an old-fashioned idea. i don't think it should be!
That is one of the reasons we moved into this house b/c we saw families outside! We make an extra effort when people move in to introduce ourselves, I've even gone over and just said if they need anything I stay home and I'm there most of the time, etc....We just kept smiling and saying hi to the other neighbors and slowly if we were "caught" on the side walk together or something we'd say oh, we haven't introduced ourselves...
Also, a little bit after we moved in I had a jewelry party and took the invitations to the neighbors and said I was having a party to get to know some of the people on the street and that got 3 ladies to come over.
