I suspect that something I enjoy doing I really shouldn't enjoy.

There's a lady that I know that I met many years ago, and I could tell (or I think I can tell) that she took an instant dislike to me. She is never rude, she just doesn't like me. BUT, she never inititiates conversation with me, and will do her best to ignore me, even if I pass right by her.

What do I like to do??? Compliment her, speak to her when I see her, smile at her and force a smile in return.

That's nasty of me right? I suspect it is. It's okay she doesn't like me. I think she tried. She came to my house once, (I didn't really invite her, some other ladies came and she was along for the ride) and she invited me over to her house once.

I think if I were doing this sincerely it would be different, but I admit I get a big chuckle out of it.

I think it is just your coping strategy. I have had similar experiences. I just try to avoid the person. Maybe try forgiving her for not liking you whatever her reason may be. It is a crummy feeling to know that someone doesn't like you and you don't know why.

I was publicly shunned once by a lady I know (or at least she tried). It was a judgmental thing because I didn't make the choices she thought I should. I got a real kick out of going up to her with a big smile on my face, my hand out to shake hers and a big "Hi, how are you?!" She wasn't quite brave enough to walk past my advances. I think it is a rebel thing!

Just be nice.

I wouldn't go out of my way to socialize with her, nor would I avoid her.

But at all times, I would remember that she probably couldn't ride bridleless in her WILDEST dream!

Heck, you're just teasing her for the fun of it. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. If you were mean to her, that would be another story. Right now, you are just getting a kick out of being polite and friendly. If she squirms about it, that's her problem.
