I need friends

[Anonymous]

Some women did this on Nextdoor in my neighborhood and they all seem to still be friends

Hiking with your dog? Try clubbing one night just to remember how fun it is to dance and not care? I know it would help with all the stresses I (and everyone else) seem to feel with being a sandwich. Boring husband who never wants to do or initiate anything? Go out with your friends!! I just wish I knew where you all were. I can’t seem to find you.

It's so hard. I posted about this a couple days ago and, so far, am not having a lot of luck finding "meetups" and things that are directed to my demographic (in terms of age, local, non-single). It's frustrating. And giving me some anxiety over what the next 30 years is going to look like . . . . I don't do well when I'm bored or when I don't have social outlets.

Wow. Wtf. You lost me at non single. Why aren’t you willing to be friends with single people? Try to being less judgmental and maybe you will make more friends

I meant that I'm not looking for a relationship and lots of the groups I'm finding are geared towards singles meeting each other. Geez.

DP but I don’t think she meant “non single” the way it sounded. I interpreted it to mean that she’s not looking to be part of meetups where the focus is dating/looking for partners. Some groups are — and there’s nothing wrong with that but the dynamics are different. Maybe try assuming good intent instead of attacking someone who is just looking for friendship.

+1 GThere. needs to be basic parameters for this group and this is one of them.

Have many of you successfully found ppl via Meetup? So many options and some don’t appear to be super active. Https for matching with a group?

Me. I don’t like crowds so don’t like live music. I don’t drink. Just staring at the ocean?? Boring. I hate hiking and I absolutely hate dogs!

What DO you like?????

Me too. I'm too big a weenie to make the first move in NOVA. Come on, someone braver.

I’m considering posting a location in MoCo but I have an insane week coming up (volunteering at school, teaching a fitness class for children as a substitute, have to attend a work picnic in Alexandria, and throwing a large party on Sunday).

I’m interested and would love to meet some open-minded women, well, open to being friends. But it’s not going to be this week.

I'm in MoCo as well (just outside the Beltway)! I'd be interested.

Would be interested in DC. I’m a little older, 55, but I am just like a young 51 😂
