Single friends?

I just found out that 3 of my friends who are still single have a plan to go out for drinks on Friday. Its weird because I was always the one who got these particular friends together whenever we used to go out. They invited me along, and I will definitely go and have a good time. But it caught me a little off guard! They are all still single and can certainly get together and hang out if they want...but I guess I have "crossed over" to the other side! And I do still see these people individually, but I guess it just threw me that they are moving on without me, the old married gal.

anyone relate?

Re: Single friends?

honestly, i really don't have any single friends. just one of my GFs is "single" and really its because she is separating from her DH. other than that--all my friends are coupled or married. it just kind of worked out that way for all of us.

Re: Single friends?

aw, don't feel badly. Maybe they just wanted to go out & find some guys to buy them drinks & to flirt a little bit & they felt guilty bringing a married gal along? Either that or they thought your ring would scare away potential suitors...

Re: Single friends?

This is too funny... I do not have ONE single girlfriend! They are all married, engaged or in a serious relationship! I remember when I was the one in my group who was single... it suuuucked! But yeah, I guess it just sometimes works out that way. One of the guys in my group of friends was the only single one (guy OR girl) for years... but he has now been dating someone for 6 months so our group is officially "taken"!

After last night I realized just because your married doesn't meant you shouldn't get invited out with the single peeps in your life. Why not invite you out anymore? Maybe you can't go out every friday night but you can go out every once in a while. Your not dead IoI

We have a few married friends but we both have tons of single/recently divorced friends. I find it where dh and I don't want to hang out on the fly we like to make plans and our single/divorced friends.

But after last night hanging out with my best friend Dave he talked to me about how I am missing all the time. The only time I hang out is if I have everyone come over to dh and i's apartment. I never go out with just one or two friends, it's usually massive groups of people and with dh. So a few of my single friends just want one and one time. So I find that is more of my problem with my friends.

Re: Single friends?

Most of my friends are in serious relationships. It is weird sometimes when I think about it. I remember when most of us were single and by middle of the week we'd already start planning for the weekend and always went out on weekends.

I remember when some of us were single while others were in relationships, it was split pretty evenly. I would always be the one to start making plans and calling everyone, or sending out mass emails. The single girls of course went out just about every weekend. The girls in relationships didn't really come out often, but that was ok. So bc of that there would be times where some of us made plans just amongst us single people, not even to exclude anybody, but we just knew they probably wouldn't come out. If i spoke to my friends in relationships before i went out i would of course tell them and ask them to come not like we didnt want girls in relationships to come out. But after weeks and months of asking and them not coming out you get into a routine of going out with just certain people and know they would come out and know who usually wouldn't. The girls in relationships when they wanted to go out they would always plan it from ahead of time. Send emails to everyone a week or so before, so we knew when they wanted to they made sure to let us know. It was great when we all did go out together.

Dh went to neptunes this past weekend for a friends birthday. I realized how long its been since I went, and i remember a time where we did go alot, so it brought back memories. I saw pics and in the pics i still see the same ppl who go all the time and even before you would get there you'd know you would see them there. Im glad that as im approaching 30 im not one of those regulars anymore, but to go once in a while is good.
