I think I have offended her

Maybe she was in a hurry, maybe she is shy, maybe she has issues, maybe a lot of things that stopped her chatting.
You have only just met her so just relax, be friendly when you see her next time and get on with making the new friends that you want.
She didn’t cut you dead, she said hello. Don’t confront her.
I have a ‘friend’ who is confrontational, she’s moving now because everyone is horrible. I do hope they aren’t horrible where she is going.

Maybe she was just very busy and late for something? Or maybe she was just in a bad mood/having a bad day? Or shy?

She said hello to someone she's met once before, I dont think that's too rude.

Maybe she couldn't place where she knew you from. That happened to me at an event on Sunday.

Try not to let one incident sour your foray into making friends and certainly don't ask her about it.

Recently I joined a small local group of women. After the first meeting a few of us went across the road and had lunch together which I very much enjoyed. I’m trying to make friends as I have recently moved to a new town so this was very welcome.
But today while at the supermarket one of the women cut me dead. I know she recognised me as she said hello but moved on fast. I am very upset as I do not know why or what I can have said that has offended her. I don’t know her surname or where she lives so I can’t go and ask her. I think I know where she volunteers but it seems wrong to confront her there. The next group meeting is not for 4 weeks. I just can’t stop ruminating about it and trying to work out what to do.
Any ideas?
