She is friendly enough when I contact her but it seems I always have to get a conversation going. How come she never thinks to text or email me first?
Last week I asked her to join my husband and I for dinner, something we have done many times in the past but not lately, and she completely ignored my invitation when she responded and texted about other things.
I would let her go, she doesn't sound like she is interested in the friendship . It doesn't mean something is wrong with you personally but more like she has less in common and wants to move on.
This doesn't sound like a friend. She sounds more like an acquaintance who is happy being an acquaintance.
Not every acquaintance develops into a friendship. People have different goals and different requirements for friendships, not better, just different.
If you enjoy her company or enjoy communicating with her, ask her to suggest an activity you could share that she would enjoy (meaning actually show up for) or just communicate by text or phone call. Your "friendship energy" would likely be better spent on other friends.
She doesn't want to hang out. Sorry to be blunt but take the hint and move on. I have lots of acquaintances that I'm happy to text and stay in touch with that way but I don't really want to hang out with them.
Maybe she just flat out doesn't feel like having dinner with you and hubby. That's why she didn't mention it when she texted back....OR..maybe she's got a short memory........doesn't mean she can't still be a friend to you.
She probably feels no need to text you first because she KNOWS you'll be texting or calling her soon enough.

Maybe she feels like a third wheel going to dinner with you and your husband. It's possible she would feel obligated to invite your husband if she invited you to hang out and she doesn't really want to be your third wheel. Otherwise, I'd say she doesn't really think of you as much of a friend.
People use the word "friends" when most times they are mere "acquaintances".
