I think maybe being "aggressively" smart makes waves in social situations. I know I do this. Esp. if alcohol is involved. But I also love being around other people with big brains and ideas, we could go on forever.
Also some people are just flaky and that's nobody's fault. Maybe they're living with someone or married, then omg they're never going to meet you anywhere ever again. Or some people are just at and making and keeping plans. I wouldn't take it personally -- it's their loss.

You're so lucky to have found your hubby.
That sounds like the ideal match!
And you're totally right about married folk not really mingling with the single folk as much. Actually, I think that is probably both mine and G's main issue--we're single, female, and totally okay with it for the most part (I mean, who wouldn't want a built-in Star Wars premier date, but mostly we're okay with it). What are we even thinking, being female and happily single, anyway?
Also get along pretty well with a couple of married guys I work with for the simple fact that we are interested in a lot of the same nerdy things. I can't hang out with them ever unless I get a significant other whom I can drag along on double dates. And I'm starting to notice some side-eyeing from my female colleagues when I chat with these guys lately, which is weird because we're chatting loudly about the geekiest things like Discworld, MMORPGs, and Star Wars which I feel are the least flirty things we could be talking about. Simmer down ladies, I'm not trying to steal anyone's husbands with my high k/d.
Anyway, thanks. Your reply made me feel better.
