I have a neighbor who I usually just bail or Hi when we see each other, and we talk a little once every few months. But with that person, we always have the same conversation and reaction, and I feel like I've time-traveled back in time. The person is a normal healthy person, just before 50 years old. I think he is just not interested in me at all and always forgets what we talked about, but this has been a year now and I'm thinking it's a little strange. Next time I'm going to try not to get into that conversation.
If you have any sympathy or ways to deal with this, I'd be happy to respond.

If you only see each other once every few months or so, and you don't really want to get to know each other better, I think it's easier to have a set topic of conversation.
Since you don't seem to want to get to know each other better or have a close relationship, I think you should just leave it at that ？
If you wanted to get to know each other better or have a closer relationship, I think you would broach the subject on your own.
I've lived in the same neighborhood for over 10 years, and there are neighbors who only say "hi," and there are others who work together to
help another neighbor who is sick. Maybe the words are not quite the same, but I guess it is a choice.

I once had a person who lived in the same condo who asked me the same question every time we met.
He appeared to be a very normal looking gentleman. I told him the same story every time I saw him, the same questions about the dog's name, etc.
I told him the same answers every time. A few years later I found out that he was telling me the same thing every time because he had a disease. When I found out, I was so glad I didn't ignore him or be sarcastic.
I don't know if it's too much to ask for just a quick answer once every few months
sometimes tomorrow is your own day.

I don't think they are interested in Toby and don't want to have a conversation with him because he is bothering them.
I am the type of person who just says hello and doesn't particularly want to have a conversation. Even if you want to talk to them, sometimes they don't, so you can interpret that ？.

Thank you for your response ！
I have a relationship with his wife, and she is planning to move out in another year, so I certainly don't want to get to know her any better, and she thinks so, too. If it's a sign of illness or something, that's tough.
