[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  For clarity, his old group of friends mainly sit at home and game on weekends, only going out when a parent organizes a BD party, etc.  DS is not so into the multi-player gaming.  We've suggested that he ask his old buddies to go to a movie, etc, but he responds that they'd rather game.  A challenge here is that most of his old friends are in top maths/science classes while DS is not.  I think he found this okay in MS, but harder now - they are on a different class schedule than him.  I think he is little self conscious about this, even if he is doing well in all his current classes.  He has said that he thinks his old friends judge him a bit for not being in their classes.  DH said it seems hard as he is neither wholly geeky nor totally sporty (though plays a travel sport).

We just discussed with his sister last weekend.  She feels bad that he is unhappy and is trying to figure out what she can do.  She did tell us that she would ask him along to any coed outing, though she mainly hangs with her 8-10 friends.

I don't think i indicated we were trying to get him into the popular group - I was asking if parents had BTDT with a DC and how did they support a DC in friendship limbo.  [/quote]
