I recently told a business associate about my "issues" to try to explain some goofy behavior. They said, I've had depression too, we'll have to get together for coffee! Three weeks later and there has been no contact. Now I feel like an even bigger goof who should have kept my mouth shut!

No no no, don't jump to conclusions. People say "see you later" and don't follow up for a variety of reasons, and that happens very often (I can't believe how much people not serious there is out there ).
So YOU make contact and see what happens.
As a general rule it is better to only say about depression to persons who can understand, who know what depression actually is. But there may be no problem in this case. Check out for yourself.

I agree with stefano. People get busy and things happen so don't worry about it. You should make the contact and see what happens.

I work for a fairly large company and there are only a select few that I've actually told I have problems with depression. It's not a subject I share with everyone.

Send this associate an email asking what day they would like to get together for coffee, I'm sure you'll get a positive response.

I agree with the above posts - there could be tons of reasons, if I were you I'd give the person a call or in some way contact.

Thanks for your responses!
I sent a "business" email to this person and everyhting seems cool. Maybe I was just hoping for a "different" response?

Being lonely sucks!!
