[quote=Anonymous]I'm also in my 50s and hear the same concerns from many women in our age range, particularly those who worked FT for years in demanding jobs. I worked PT and now realize how grateful I am that I had the time to devote to nurturing friendships with other women. My advice to you and others who want to develop friendships or deepen acquaintanceships is to focus on activities that you enjoy and don't wait for others to initiate. If you like to read, start a book group. If you enjoy hiking, ask a friend to join you for a specific date. If you want to volunteer, then go for it -- and ask a volunteer colleague to join you for coffee or lunch sometime. [/quote]
